			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft" src="http://api.ning.com/files/CmO8R22qs3Vs*b4hr0KkGKDk9ePvM-2O9jETWNVDzPhnZ7mZWj2VkcAcxq0abTjraIii1-*lEF-L40FtVsVjpq4UCQ*WfpUm/luggage.jpg?size=173&amp;crop=1:1" alt="" width="173" height="173" />Have you ever lost your luggage? Just the thought of it can be scary – the horrifying feeling of your belongings being gone! That feeling of possessions, things, security just disappearing, never to be seen again.</p>
<p>In the big scheme of things, you know that it all works out; things settle down eventually, and you have an opportunity to refresh your wardrobe with new items, and in time, those missed items are gone from your memory. This is a metaphor for your relationships. <strong>All of us have relationships of many shapes and degrees – husbands, ex-husbands, partners, family members, friends, coworkers, neighbors, they’re all people who have a significant affect on our lives, our moods, and our happiness.</strong></p>
<p>These relationships often start off well or possibly even fantastic, and then can go sour. Or sometimes they start off rocky and then become “a good thing”. <strong>Realize the healing takes place with YOU first!</strong></p>
<p><strong><br />
In this FREE teleclass you will:</strong><br />
• Get an opportunity to closely examine ANY relationship in your life that may need to be “lost” and those that need to be refreshed – a lot like luggage. <strong>(spouse, partners, sister, mother, father, children, co-workers, etc.)</strong><br />
• Think of a relationship that you would like to improve.<br />
• Discover what steps you need to take to improve yourself and others to have an extraordinary life.</p>

<p>by Coach Rochelle</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Over the years,  I have taken the time to spend deep reflection on all my relationships with friends and family. I enjoy looking at my life through a different lens as I evolve and embrace the lessons I&#8217;ve learned along the way. As the seasons change, so do we. We grow into different people based on our life&#8217;s lessons.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Everytime I&#8217;m with my 92 year old Mom , I&#8217;m reminded of her strength, courage, love and tenacity. I&#8217;m reminded of the lessons she must have learned over her amazing life. She&#8217;s been through so much and survived The Great Depression.  My mom also was a hard-working woman and had her own struggles.  Now, looking back on my life and seeing my courage. I certainly see where I got this from!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>However, I must say that my generation was quite different and I chose a very different path and that was to look at the things that weren&#8217;t working in my life and to make the shifts. I started my journey of self-exploration at the age of 30 and never looked back!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Now, many years later,  I&#8217;ve embraced my strength and courage and I took back all my power, asked for forgiveness and learned to<strong> love myself first and then others.</strong> I&#8217;m so passionate about the work I do today, where I can hold my clients in a very sacred, special place they feel safe and unconditional love for them. My heart&#8217;s desire is to see my clients embrace all of who they are and all that they&#8217;re becoming! Because of all the changes I&#8217;ve received in my life,  it&#8217;s made me a better Mom, ex-wife, daughter, sister, aunt, friend, and coach.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div>
<p>Well, I have to admit that from doing this work as a coach, its very apparent to me that not everyone likes change. We fight against it, we run away from it and it&#8217;s usually because it&#8217;s the UNKNOWN. We want to stay safe and stick with what we know, even if it&#8217;s not always the best option. Playing it safe can be staying at a job that makes us miserable, playing it safe can be not venturing out to make new friends, or playing it safe can be staying in an unfulfilling or abusive relationship.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>There&#8217;s Love on the Other Side of Fear!   </strong></p>
</div>
<p>As you grow in life, you learn that many times your the only one who holds you back from GROWING, you miss out on so many opportunities because of your fears. Changes are exciting,  learn to embrace them! Yes, we make mistakes&#8230;we slip and fall, but just pick yourself right up and start over again.</p>
<div>
<p><strong>Get Your Journals Handy&#8230;  </strong></p>
<p><strong>It&#8217;s time to WORK on YOU!  </strong></p>
<p><strong>IT&#8217;S TIME TO GROW!</strong></p>
<p>1. Where are you in your life right now? Are you a caterpillar crawling slowing to the &#8220;other side&#8221; or are you moving full speed ahead into your greatness of big beautiful butterfly?</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>2. What would the mature woman that I am today say to the 20 year old version of myself? Think back on things you&#8217;ve learned that you probably didn&#8217;t know then.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
</div>
<p>3. What advice would I give to myself as a 10 year old child?</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>4. After meditating on your life through a different lens, what does the new you look like five years from now?</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>5. Write down whatever comes up-your worries, your sadness, your excitement, your hopes-is a great way to learn about yourself through the vehicle of fear and to remember that fear almost always comes alongside anything worth doing in your life.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>With Much Love,</p>
<p><strong><br />

<p>My recent trip to Dallas was such an eye-opening experience for me and it really brought everything that I’ve done since the start of my career full circle. Many of you probably are familiar with <a href="http://www.ownyourpowerlifestyle.com">Own Your Power Communications</a> because of our blog, yearly retreats and conferences, The Give ‘n Take Network (<a href="http://www.giventakenetwork.org/">www.giventakenetwork.org</a>), or our online community (<a href="http://www.ownyourpower.ning.com">www.ownyourpower.ning.com</a>).</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>What few people know is that my passion of bringing people together to empower them, connect, share and inspire community started in my very own living room, back in Yonkers, New York. I would teach a small business boot camp workshop to my friends who wanted to become entrepreneurs… (It’s how I got the nickname <em>Sergeant Simi)</em> LOL.  I’d also teach a class on self-discovery or self-love. Another friend would teach yoga, another friend would give facials or massages. Whatever their talent was, they’d bring it and share and we’d have our own retreat.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Soon we moved it to a monthly escape in the Pocono Mountains and then in 2003 I hosted my very first retreat in the Pocono’s called the Gots To Have it Getaway…fast forward a few years and the Own Your Power  quarterly workshops, Own Your Power Retreat, and Own Your Power Conferences, and the<a href="http://www.ownyourpower.biz/circle"> Circle of Power coaching group</a>  were birthed!</p>
<p><a href="http://ownyourpower.biz/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/SakinahKhadijahSimoneJaz.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-2080" title="SakinahKhadijahSimoneJaz" src="http://ownyourpower.biz/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/SakinahKhadijahSimoneJaz-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a>I love big events, but I’ve been recently craving intimate gatherings where people feel even more comfortable. Where there is no mic, no podium, and no stage.  Only a floor pillow and your favorite jeans required.  I have clusters of clients in various cities and I haven’t met at least 70% of them since I coach on the phone. So, I launched my first event in Dallas to bring the “OYP lifestyle movement” to their friends and family!</p>
<p>Well, I was elated to meet these women who truly connected with me on a deep level. To  hear stories of before and after coaching transformations really knocked my socks off! I was so pleased at their success and after hearing these stories, I must admit there was a lot of Kleenex being passed around.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>After two events, performing lots of Reiki  and coaching to so many women, I must say I was pleasantly exhausted and truly fulfilled to know I’m using my gifts to awaken, heal, and transform…the reason I developed Own Your Power Communications in the first place . This is my calling, this is my love. I hope you join us soon….</p>

<p><strong>Some Dallas Clients Had This to Say!</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><em>&#8220;I had the privilege of attending the &#8220;Discovering Your Intuition&#8221; workshop with  Simone Kelly. It was absolutely refreshing to be in the company of a group of courageous women who were ready to learn (or re-discover) how to listen to and trust our God-given instincts. Simone made everyone feel relaxed and comfortable. She&#8217;s highly gifted and yet so accessible. If she&#8217;s in your city, you should definitely try to attend one of her workshops! You&#8217;ll walk away with a journal full of goodies and a smile on your face.&#8221;<strong> Ashley W.</strong></em></p>
<div><em>&#8220;The Circle of Power seminar was amazing! The energy of love and healing was felt by everyone in attendance. I discovered abilities I didn&#8217;t know I possessed in the Discovering Your Intuition segment. I would highly recommend this seminar to anyone  in search of self and truth. Simone Kelly is the truth and I am blessed to have experienced her gift.&#8221;</em><strong> Khadijah K.</strong></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><em>&#8220;My life will never be the same. I&#8217;m still a work in progress, but Simone&#8217;s knowledge and techniques are priceless. Make the choice today to call Simone and transform your life. I feel great!&#8221;</em><strong> Sakinah K.</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Our next Dallas event is October 22 and 23. NY, NJ, Atlanta and North Carolina are coming up as well. If you’d like to bring me to your city, let me know! Hostesses receive commission, free coaching or reiki  and more!  Email me if interested at simone@ownyourpower.biz.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft" src="http://uncagedbirds.files.wordpress.com/2010/06/1_08_noah-100202-120-11-06_med.jpg" alt="" width="275" height="275" /><strong>by Jemitra Hairston</strong></p>
<p>Below is a manifesto I wrote a year ago.  It&#8217;s a combination of things I&#8217;ve discovered during my 36 years on the planet and the words of some wise, wise women&#8211;Heathyre, Tazima, Takeyah, Simone,  Ayo, and more.</p>
<p><strong>Living Well</strong></p>
<p>Living well is about having the healthiest body, mind and spirit that you can have.  Health is important because health promotes longevity and with longevity comes wisdom.  Living well is also knowing that happiness is not something you’re supposed to strive for.  It’s something you’re supposed to let in.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Connection</strong></p>
<p>Find ways to reconnect with your authentic self.  Become your own favorite subject and find ways to turn yourself on.</p>
<p>When we connect with ourselves, we realize that we are the nature we have been looking for.  We are the nature wherever we are.  We are air.  We are earth.  We are fire. We are water.  But as long as we don’t know that, we will be synthetic and technology will be more attractive than unifying with the divine and tuning in to our own psychic abilities.</p>
<p>Every living and non-living thing has a story.  We are a bunch of interconnected stories, interacting and reinforcing each other. Don’t merely try to connect with another person, realize that the connection is already there.</p>
<p>Recognize that every relationship is an incredible opportunity for you to grow. Learn how to tune in to yourself and watch the quality of your relationships transform.  When you acknowledge your desires and tap into your juiciness, you will find a partner who supports you in doing so.</p>
<p><strong>Authenticity=Internal+external congruency</strong></p>
<p>Figure out what your core values are.  Then let everything you do be an extension of those values.  Your values will help you establish standards.  When you have standards in place, it is easier to make decisions about what is happening in your life.  As a result, you won’t go through your days doing things that are radically different from your vision of them.</p>
<p><strong>Purpose</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>We have a purpose that we were born into this life to do.  There’s only one person who can deliver that special gift to the world.  That person is you.</p>
<p>Success is about much more than having the job, the car, the house, the husband and cash.  Those things are fleeting.  Create a new definition of success that is based on something more permanent, but less tangible.  As you redefine what success means keep in mind that you are much more than what you do to earn a living.  Also, it is possible for you to earn your kale and quinoa by living the fullest expression of yourself.</p>
<p><strong>Inner Knowing</strong></p>
<p>You are the sole expert on who you are and what you should be doing at any given moment in time.  Instead of listening to what goes on externally come within and see what’s going on in there.  In accepting responsibility for your life, you lose the ability to blame other people when things go wrong.  Also, no one else gets the credit when things go right.</p>
<p>Trust is truth in action.  Start walking and the path will appear. Your internal compass will guide you and the divine will nudge you back on track if you get stuck.</p>
<p>Junk any form of media that makes you feel fearful, anxious or inadequate. Have propaganda which supports your ideals and your purpose rather than allowing someone to come in and dump garbage in your living room.</p>

<p>At the end of the day, when I feel completely exhausted, oftentimes it has nothing to do with all the things I’ve done.</p>
<p>It’s not a consequence of juggling multiple responsibilities and projects. It’s not my body’s way of punishing me for becoming a late-life jogger after a period of cardiovascular laziness. It’s not even about getting too little sleep.</p>
<p>When I’m exhausted, you can be sure I’ve bent over backwards trying to win everyone’s approval. I’ve obsessed over what people think of me, I’ve assigned speculative and usually inaccurate meanings to feedback I’ve received, and I’ve lost myself in negative thoughts about criticism and its merit.</p>
<p>I work at minimizing this type of behavior—and I’ve had success for the most part—but admittedly it’s not easy.</p>
<p>I remember back in college, taking a summer acting class, when I actually made the people around me uncomfortable with my defensiveness. This one time, the teacher was giving me feedback after a scene in front of the whole class. She couldn’t get through a single sentence without me offering some type of argument.</p>
<p>After a couple minutes of verbal sparring, one of my peers actually said, “Stop talking. You’re embarrassing yourself.”</p>
