Anthrofashion's Passion for fashion books and daily life

Oh shucks: I'm a self-development addict

Lo and behold,

For years yours truly avoided self-development thinking it was for fools... Yeah, I know I know pride makes us fall. And I honestly admit I am picky. I pray before picking every title. It started with the highlight Audible.com choose to have on starting the new year. I wanted a new kind of practical input and "May cause miracles" came in perfect timing. And although it is not amongst my favorite picks. It was the opener.

An opener into a world where you can be your own source. The coach inside me has been ready for mainstream self-help.

I was lucky to be introduced to Gabrielle Bernstein's work. Bernstein has written three books and my favorite among her writings is "Spirit junkie" it s self-help meeting memoir and a touch of my beloved "A course in miracles" which is beyond great. And no; I do not see it as mainstream.

Thanks to the impression of "Spirit junkie" I was able to attend her workshop: I cannot even say how much her workshop means so much to me. That's her unique talent: I mean attending workshop's online cannot be the same as being there.

However, when I go back to the two courses I have been part of so far it feels so amazingly great. The price of $187 might have been stiff: but I feel the fact we can keep the lesson makes up for the price.

I have been waiting for a mainstream author to take me in...

Then in my life came the great witty and amazingly Danielle Laporte. Finally an author who seem to broaden the knowledge with images.

Danielle makes you learn again even as a coach she has been inspiring me.

I love "The fire starter sessions" so much I want you to let her in. I get insights from my mind in a fantastic way.

She created a program too: It is called "The desire map" containing physical books,ebooks,audiobooks, apps sheets and meditation. It makes me so curious it tempts me. Makes me desire more.

It is $150 and I have to stop and think.

Oh: Are you reading the "Fire starter sessions?" If so: Come on... Let's talk and enjoy the fire...

The book is made to make us come together...

According to Danielle Laporte "The fire starter sessions is:

"
The Fire Starter Sessions is…the permission slip you’ve been waiting for — to fully want what you want and go for it, to expand your consciousness and your cash flow, to up the ante on your dreams, to be incredibly generous with your love. This is a modern-day pep talk and soul-centered Q&A for people ready to shine brighter than they ever have.And after these straight-talking sermons and burning questions about your truest desires — from career to relationships — you’ll be clear that the only permission you need to shine … is your own.The Fire Starter Sessions reframes popular self-help and success concepts to cut through dull thinking and fear, and get straight to one’s core desires, pragmatism, and courage — and burn some illusions to a crisp…: Life balance is a myth, and the pursuit of it is causing us more stress than the craving for balance itself.: Being well-rounded is highly over-rated. When you focus on developing your true strengths you enter your mastery zone.: Screw your principles, well, some of them. (They might be holding you back.): We have ambition backwards. Getting clear on how you want to feel in your life + work is more important than setting goals. It’s the most potent form of clarity that you can have, and it’s what leads to true fulfillment.: Competency is for suckers. Your most valuable currency is what comes naturally to you. When you focus on developing your true strengths, you enter your mastery zone.: You’re an artist, and that’s that. When we’re giving our best, we’re being artistic. When you’re bringing your whole self to the party, you’re making poetry happen — and you do it all the time, naturally.: Be the giver. Force it if you have to. Make generosity part of your growth strategy and you will cross that sacred divide where love is no longer a concept but is your soul made manifest. You. Giving. Love. Gorgeous.Each session in the book is accompanied by worksheets that are provocative and results-oriented. We’ll talk about contradictions — you should leverage them. And money — how much do you want… and why? And soul — what else is there? And ground it all in the practical how-to’s of getting what you want. Because theories are nothing without intelligent action.This is an inquiry into You, with proof-of-theory vignettes to keep you inspired along the way. My own personal narrative of loss and achievement — from boardrooms to ashrams — flows with stories of women and men who stopped playing it safe, deepened their commitment to their soul, and became freedom seekers and fear tamers. Bright.You’re next."
I love love love it.
So, if you want a book that makes you start again...Buy it!
"The desire map" is the costly next step... A lifelong tool.

The CC-cream in action.

Smashbox: CC cream: Camera ready

******************************************

NOTE: WRITTEN ON TYPEPAD'S MOBILE SITE!

I am phsyched to share this review with you because it works magic. No freaking joke.

For years I have looked for a product which:

* Makes a complextion perfect; Which means your skin looks neutral

*Hydrates the skin

* Takes away all enzema

For years I have invested in concealer
after concealer: Foundation after foundation.

If you have enzema you might know
foundation can serve as a quick solution. However, A foundation does not hide enzema, nor does a concesler because while both a foundation and concealer aim to conceal.

While some type of acne and other imperfections may be coverd by a regular foundation or concealers: Heavy trouble as enzema will not be coverd but rather highligted.

That was before the CC-cream ...

Unlike the already classic BB-cream the CC-cream provides a heavier-coverage without being oily.

I have extremly fair skin with sebore enzyma which goes wild during stress.

I aplied one layer tonight and no enzema. It gives you the perfect doll-skin. No concealer needed.

In order to test it throughly: I applied foundation over it since it said doing so would provide better coverage. If you have enzema you do not want to apply it on top since it takes away the hidig of enzema. Fantastic if you want a perfect face.

I love Gabrielle Bernstein's way of bringing the classic text "A course in miracles" to people like you and me.

Why the word feminist has nothing to do with anger

What do you think about when you hear or in this case reads the words "feminist"? I was on a hunt this morning for cool ( read:authentic) bloggers to follow. Since I am the only (and first!) in my family to be a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, I decided that there had to be others like me out there. I went to Google and entered "Lds blogs" a lot came up even a blog which is by The Church. However, I was confused when no result was by relation to an individual member. Most members I know use LDS as a short version of The Church' full name. The word "mormon" is used by those who are not members, or earlier-members.

However, when I did a search for "mormon blogs" even Wikipedia came up. Through them I found the blog "angry feminist mormon moms" and I had to write about this.

A. Angry femenists? Come on, I get the media apeal but where in the heck( as they say in Idaho) is the logic? By calling themselves angry critics get what they want: A picture of woman unable to accept men)

People have the impression that members cannot be feminists which is not the case. We have to be clear on what feminism is: An opinion that men and women has the same value.

Since we believe we are created in God's perfect image our value is not based on gender it is based on the fact that we are humans. Does God love us equally? Yes! Did he create us with different abilities? Yes; Why else would there be to genders? Are men physically stronger? Yes at least most. Does this mean men are better? No, they need women to exist. Who would otherwise go through natural child birth? We should all be feminists because of our sacred value. We might not be able to do the same things neither man nor female: However, we are of the same value. God does not create mistakes nor is one better than the other.

And here I thought I was able to keep my mouth shut: Famous bloggers

When I look through my blog entries I am aware of my "Oh-so-low" updating count. . Yes: I was a better updater before. I moved to Typepad. The reason I choose to go Typepad was due to their "easy interface". Had I known how hard it was to update using portable devices I would not have gone for this platform. Yeah; You can update via e-Mail but you cannot update it using their dashboard. If you like me wish to use your dashboard on the go you do sadly not have this option. It sucks, unlike most blogging platforms Typepad does offer great customer service. They have no free plans, however this is why I choose Saymedia. I wanted a paid package: i wanted to focus on content, not the technical aspect.

When I blog I use my tablet or phone: I want to blog with full functionality no matter the device. They as in Saymedia is important to the market. Those needing customer service and are willing to pay need the extra Typead dash of customer service.

My domain host which I adore are extremly amazing. They are cheap, they help you and I with domain mapping and they have a great privacy policy. Yes, I will stay with them. They are Dreamhost and they earn the name.

I have played with Ning lately: They make it possible to operate a social network with blogs, forums links and profiles. The great thing with Ning is the fact you can update all from your device. On a monthly basis their basic package is $35. They too offer domain mapping so no matter what happens you will find me on anthrofashion.net so no fear. I will do whatever I can to give daily updates again.

If I stay where I am I need a better way to add photos and other media to my post. As of now; I can add stuff as atatchments to an email entry. However since I love updating via ipad or my dear Blackberry Z10.

The reason for this post was to rant, not about Typepad but about famous bloggers. Or, to be specific my feelings towards them. In this sence the bloggers on my mind are not authours or others who chose blogging as a way to make their work known.

My issue is this: Pretty girl blogs about drinking juice and hanging with friends. In each post are pictures. They get famous due to their image. Am I in envy? I think we all are. Who would not like earning a living and get the option to work from home.

I would:

But I want the world to see real people. I think bloggers known for their blogging personas often try to be perfected into a photo shop world. Rather than promoting a cool realistic persona the world wants to be fooled. Like a daytime tv-show the perfect bloggers becomes addictive.

How I long for the world to want love instead of fear wanting what is real, pretty and uplifting because it brings longtime joy.

Who am I?

I am a normal sweet girl who loves miracles. A miracle is choosing love over fear. I seek to inspire and uplift you. Yes: I give free coaching via email or phone.

My blog seeks to write about how to live a great life no matter your background. Great books, movies, music and fashion. In addition to an honest peak into my daily life.

Come along my friend:

Be ready for miracles again and again!

You are amazing.
