Allana Pratt, Intimacy Expert - Allana, how do you get such divine skin?

Seriously? I felt this wave of embarrassment wash over me when you asked that. Back when I was in dance class in my teens, I had horrible acne on my shoulder and all the acne drugs didn’t work. My Dad was a pharmacist and got me on this simple Sulfa drug and for some reason, it cleaned it all up by graduation, Thank God! Yet I remember not being able to wear a T-shirt in ballet class and KNOWING the girl behind me was grossed out. So humiliating.

Then in my 20’s and early 30’s I had pretty glorious skin and felt I was home free. Then when I got pregnant, all the hormones sent my skin to hell and again, as I was teaching Pilates in huge classes of amazing women and college girls, my acne was all over my shoulders again and this time with the pregnancy, I couldn’t take anything. It was so healing to stand heart open, vulnerable in my expanding belly, boobs, and acne. Practicing loving ALL of me, even my skin.

I was sure after I gave birth it would all go away, yet it didn’t and I have had to have facials for years (I’m 47) to keep things at bay. However, recently (like over the past year) I took out the Louise Hay book I use with ALL my clients yet hadn’t thought to use with ME… And looked up acne. Anger. Suppressed Anger. Well, if you’ve read about my journey, you know about the custody challenges I’ve had and my skin seemed to be where my anger was leaking out. So I chose to release my anger in healthy ways at dance class, with counselors, therapists, and my skin improved.

I stopped processed sugars as well. I would wash my face, by candle light, until I could stop focusing only on the zits. Instead of making my skin wrong when looking in the mirror, I would focus on the beauty of my eyes. Or if I saw a zit I would put a little salicylic acid or tea tree oil on it and ask my skin to please clear it up by morning, and it would.

Now I use Epicurean Organics products most of the time. And I am totally floored that you think I have great skin. Divine I think you even said. Wow. You have inspired me to love my skin even more, to thank it for its youthfulness, its radiance, its clarity and even those glorious smile lines that reveal my journey of ordinary bliss.

Thank you for deepening my communion with my beautiful sweet body. And may your communion with your glorious body, deepen as well.

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. It is also important to recognize, though, that not all goals are created equal. In this article, we’ll take a look at a special class of goals called SMART goals and how you can use them to heighten your chances of success. 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
