What is a BLISS Chick anyway...?

BLISS Chick's find that being a woman is like having a juicy secret... only this secret can't be described in words or shared in whispers it can only be felt deep inside and in the process touch and inspire those around her.  BLISS Chick's are courageous women who listen to their desires and live life with PURPOSE, PASSION & PLEASURE.

You make heads turn, because there is "just something about you", You are more interested in growing than being grown-up and you have a mischievous smile that says a 1000 things.   You dance whenever... who cares if they look and you sing your song every chance you get,   you live, love and laugh with humor and a full heart, and you know that the juiciest secret of all is LIFE and you savor the mystery with childlike curiosity.

A BLISS Chick is really the unique mystery in each one of us. It is what draws life's opportunities and experiences to us. Brings circles of friends, intimate conversations, romantic relationships, and the desire to follow our BLISS and take a few risks... because each time we get a piece of the mystery and reveal the best parts of ourselves.

Knowing that the best is yet to come, and ready to play.

Best Books in My Book 2006

and great Last minute Christmas gifts!  This last year I didn't do as much reading as usual, but there were a few fantastic reads that stand out and can't be missed.  I also include a couple that are on my Chritmas List this year for the last minute shoppers in my life( hint... hint :0)

The first book was actually a gift to me last Christmas, and has since been re-gifted with the promise that it will be a gift that keep on giving as it makes it's rounds through many hands and sure to touch many lives.  Just the thought makes me smile :0).  I bet you want to know what it is?  This book made such an impression on me, and being in the biz of personal development, and being a self-help book junkie this is saying a lot.  It is a serious and well written wake-up call for anyone who reads it no matter where they are on their path, and it was no different for me.  One of my favorite if not all time favorite books.... "

A New Earth... Awakening to Your Life's Purpose" by: Ekhart Tolle.

  
P.S. I had tried to read the ever popular "The Power of Now" by Ekhart Tolle a couple years ago and could not get into the book, so if you found this true trust me and give him another try!

The next book is one for the passionate people in your life. "The World is a Waiting Lover" is an adventurous story about desire and passion told through the eyes and experience of Trebbe Johnson. For those of you who feel a longing and desire to experience the richness and depth life has to offer this novel brings to light the growth, intimacy and vulnerability that results from living through your desires.
  
A little zen every now and then... This was another unlikely jump off the shelf for me. The book looking fairly plain, with no promises of adventure or mystery just simple wisdom like it looks. In all fairness I had been hearing the name "OSHO" for quite sometime so when I saw "love, freedom, aloneness... The Koan of Relationships" I decided to give it a try. It was a book that not only entertained, but enlightenned and made light of the many very human situations we find oursleves in. It felt like a chellenge to peel away what is covered to reveal the best parts of ourselves. I really enjoyed this book and the wisdom and guidance I recieved from it. You may not reasonate with everything in this book, but there are plenty of nuggets for everyone.

Here are some other notable mentions...and some different flavors
         
Last but not least, I highly reccomend any book that jumps off the shelf at you and wants a home, their usually the best, and meant just for you...

This is what I think Santa has in store for my stocking...

I am Almost Acoustic and a bit LUCKY!

I'll eat my words.... KROQ did a special sale today at noon, a limited number of tickets for the fans on their mailing list - I am happy to say I am one of these fans and I happened to score two tickets!  I told you Bliss Chicks bounce back and usually manage to get what they want one way or another, even if it's a bumpy ride to get there. (See Bliss Boycott - for the full story) OOPS! The boycott is off and ROCK & KROQ is back!

  It is a 5 + hour concert featuring some of my favorite bands ever.... Foo Fighters, Incubus, and new faves, 30 Seconds to Mars, My Chemical Romance, AFI and a few more.  We were limited to 2 tickets so it will be me and my oldest son.  These are some of his favorites too, and it will be his first concert ever.

So, it was a bit frustrating, and I had to be patient and persistent and trust the universe to deliver.  When it matters to you patience and persistence are PASSION and the universe listens and delivers.

Thanks for the POSITIVE vibes - and KROQ still rocks and the sting is gone !

AHHHHH ~ Time to Relax

Since I am taking a break from my normal rock-n-roll routine, (see my last post) I found 3 new CD's that have led to even deeper relaxation, peace and sound sleep over the last week!  This is something most my coaching clients are lining up for so I felt compelled to share and pass these titles along the wish and intention for you to receive the same.... relaxation... peace... sleep and whatever else you might need in this moment.

                                                         

The first is one of my new favorites from Adam Pleck & Deepak Chopra for that healing feeling, with a soothing voice and music you are transported to various places not only in your own body but beyond, this is one of my favorite excerpts from the CD...... from the Heart Meditation Track

"every decision I make is a choice between a grievance and a miracle, I relinquish all regrets,  grievances and resentments and choose the miracle"

The guitar meditations is fantastic for anyone who enjoys the sound of an acoustic guitar, I find it is great in the background for almost anything I do, there are no vocals so it does not interrupt what your doing if you must do.

The natural sounds, includes 2, 30 minute tracks of the ocean and all I can say is night night, sleep tight.  You can purchase the above through my affiliate account by clicking on the link above, which I always appreciate or if your an i-podder like me you can find them all at iTunes as well.

Relax & Enjoy

Bliss Boycott - KROQ 106.7 (LA)

I hate to start this new blog with a rant, after all Bliss Chick's are some of the happiest creatures. But I planned to write on what I am most passionate about and right now it is a bit of frustration and disappointment after being plugged into the radio for 5 days straight for the chance to purchase tickets to KROQ's Almost Acoustic Christmas Concert and then missing the precious tickets by just a moment... they were gone in less than 5 minutes.

It had to be one of the best marketing schemes I have ever heard of, this wasn't a ploy to win tickets, but to purchase them.  Last Thursday KROQ announced the tickets would go on sale only after they played Everlong by the Foo Fighters (my favorite, the headliners of the concert) along with several other fantastic bands.  I woke up early, stayed up late, listened vigilantly watched the play-list on the Internet and in a brief moment, a blink of an eye,  they were all gone...   

Over the last 5 days I have heard the bands that are playing at this concert over and over again, I know the words by heart and don't get me wrong I love rock and have loved KROQ for most of my life, ( I still will when the sting disappears) but I find myself needing a break, just when my vigilance is needed most.  I could still call in every hour for the next 5 days along with a million other frustrated and disappointed fans and try to win tickets and that golden backstage pass. 

You never know Bliss Chicks bounce back quick, after all life is always giving us new desires and opportunities.  Keep your finger crossed for me anyway ;0).

On a side note and positive note despite the scheme, this concert was benefiting two wonderful local charities and supported by the many bands that are playing at this event and of course the  ever so un-popular radio station at least for tonight---- KROQ. 

I also have to say that I found two great just in time, non-rock ways to relax AHHHHH...  If you find yourself needing a break too check out my next post....
