Allana - Election Time Break ups: Heated Political Debates Under One Roof

It’s honestly wild to not be able to vote in my country because I’m not a resident and not in America because I’m not a citizen. Yet I vote with speaking, acting and generating what’s true for me whenever I choose to.


So to imagine a household with opposing views on the election under one roof while navigating the intense emotions and energy of the nation… hats off to you!


And yet it comes down to what every interaction comes down to… are we going to let another’s opinion of us, of life, of politics, of anything determine who you are? How you are? How you be?


I sure used to, especially when I was seeking their approval for my very existence… then a disagreement of politics or the color of my hair would set me off. Yet now that I’ve done core intimacy work with myself, other’s opinions are just that, opinions. I’m amazing even when people break their word I don’t get as enraged for I now have the courage to get clearer and clearer on the deal upfront instead of hiding from the risk of rejection, then creating the experience of betrayal for myself… when all along I had my head in the sand!


Wherever you have created an identity, as a Democrat, Republican, American, Canadian, even as a woman, man… on some level it blocks out or separates you from an entire world of possibility. Now I’m not saying don’t vote. VOTE! Be a stand for what is true for you! Yet in terms of any arguments under one roof about disagreements in views… recognize you’re choosing separation, which is creating the fight. Choose no point of view, just listen, allow and BE. Yup, takes practice, but totally possible…


Deliciously, Allana

SMART Goals 101: Goal Setting Examples, Templates, and Tips - Brian Tracy

I think you’ll agree with me when I say: We’ve all heard that SMART goals are important . But a lot of people are left with questions about them, for example: What exactly are they? How do we use them correctly? Are they really contributing to your success? Here’s the deal: When it comes to achieving success, one of the most important steps that you can take is setting good goals.

FREE SUCCESS TOOL: Brian Tracy’s 14-Step-Goal-Setting Guide What is a Goal? A goal can be any objective that you set for yourself and push yourself to achieve. Sometimes that goal may be small (like waking up an hour earlier than you normally do) and sometimes it may be larger (like earning a promotion). But here’s the kicker: While having goals of all kinds is almost

bosanchez - The Bias of Fathers

One day, I was at a Christmas party. And parents were forcing their small kids to sing, bribing them with lollipops to banana splits to doll houses to Boracay vacations. One father — a friend of mine whose name I won’t divulge as it would be hazardous to my health — brought his little five-year-old daughter to the front. Because he even had a Minus One prepared, we thought, “She must really be a good singer.” So everyone clapped their hands and cheered as the music started. Then the five-year-old began to sing. Or at least made some kind of sharp noise.  But she didn’t get one key right. The cute little girl was absolutely tone deaf. From beginning to end, she sounded so awful, the experience was similar to having an endoscopy without the anesthesia. But the father was right beside me, still taking photos, still smiling from ear to ear, his eyes glued to his little daughter. He looked at me and smiled, “She may not sound right, but can you see how lovely she sways her hips?” Th
