2011 has proved to be one of the most amazing and extraordinary years of my life to date and 2012 is already off to one heck of a kickin' start!

To better allow for the evolution of our many new projects and adventures, we've created a smokin' new website that is a true destination for inspiration!


Please visit our fabulous NEW cyber-spot:
www.AllowingYourSuccess.com

to experience WORDS, MUSIC, ADVENTURES and BEYOND
for LETTING Good Happen and ENJOYING the Journey!


------------------------------------

To try to recount every gift of 2011 would be a tall order, so here's a bullet list:

  • We planned and successfully hosted a truly magical "Allowing Adventures" retreat experience in Sedona, AZ!
    (...and it was SO awesome we'll be going back on 9-12-12!)


  • My husband and I were able to fulfill a life-long dream of taking a road-trip across most of the US and were able to visit Gulport, MS, Lafayette, LA, Dallas area, TX, stops along historic Route 66, Santa Fe, NM, Sedona, AZ, Las Vegas, NV and Tucson, AZ!
    (CLICK HERE for a few of our photos on Facebook!)


  • I fell utterly, madly, deeply in love with "smooth (and traditional) jazz, soulful favorites, sassy dance music & beyond!" and had the great joy of adding an expanded roster of bands to my musical life featuring world-class musicians - many of whom have played or toured with national acts and virtually all have be featured at the Clearwater Jazz Holiday!

  • I completed the content of my new book ALLOWING Your Success! and secured a fabulous editing an formatting team!

  • I was reunited with my dad after over 25 years and had the opportunity to visit him and my amazing step-mom for the first time ever in their lovely home city of Santa Maria California where we toured the greater San Luis Obispo area!

  • My company, Allowing Your Success & BEYOND!, LLC was born!

  • I was invited to participate in on-camera film discussions for the Spiritual Cinema Circle and was flown to Colorado (as a guest of SCC/Gaiam corporation).  There I had the pleasure of meeting SCC Co-Founder Stephen Simon (producer of What Dreams May Come, Conversations with God, Somewhere in Time) and film-maker Kent Moran (director, producer, writer, star, score composer of the film Listen to Your Heart) and later appeared on the SCC's volume 10 DVD, available to members world-wide!

  • I had the joy of adding many fabulous venues, clients and events to my resume including the Alessi Family, The Fox, a contract with the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel-Casino, The Club at Treasure Island, Busch Gardens/The Spring, The Refuge/Ocala Country Club, The City of Safety Harbor and many more!

  • Our MUSIC is IN THE MOVIES!  One of our original songs, "My Holiday" was chosen to be part of the soundtrack for a new film called Chasing Happiness!

  • 2012 - Rather than simply self-publish ALLOWING Your Success!, the book was recently chosen to be published by leading-edge publisher Transformation Publishing and will soon be available and distributed world-wide!

  • 2012 - Our brand new site (literally years in the making) and true destination for inspiration featuring WORDS, MUSIC, ADVENTURES & BEYOND for LETTING Good Happen and ENJOYING the Journey is now LIVE!  www.AllowingYourSuccess.com

  • 2012 - Our new interview series "Allowing Evidence- Groovin' on LIFE!", featuring true stories from real people who have Allowed Success (= LET Good Happen while ENJOYING the Journey!) launches this week!  ...and my first guest is award-winning film-maker Kent Moran!

    ...and I owe all of this and more to a simple premise...
     ALLOWING SUCCESS.


    By choosing to focus on LETTING Good Happen while ENJOYING the Journey, my life has changed in beautiful and profound ways.  It is the most joy-filled and result-producing way of living and being that I have ever experienced, and I invite YOU to enjoy the journey with me!

    Begin your journey to Allowing YOUR Success by visiting www.AllowingYourSuccess.com

    Wishing you all the best - and BEYOND!!

    BIG HUGS!!

The stories of their life experiences are heart -warming and heart wrenching. The property is almost as vast as the variety of cats they house. I will go back to Big Cat Rescue and have told all my friends about it. We should all be so blessed to experience these beautiful creatures in such a creative setting. Check it out!!!"

"The Beautiful, Wild and Free" Story


"I remember the experience as if it happened yesterday...

I was preparing some material for one of my Keynote presentations and working on a piece about 'The Power of Nature' when I started to think back on a recent visit to Big Cat Rescue and how much these magnificent animals truly moved me.  Wouldn't it be awesome to write a song for the cats, I thought?  Just as quickly as I had this idea, a flurry of words and a clear melody came to me faster than my fingers could write or that my hands could play!

Some time had gone by before we were able to record the song, but the day I felt it was far enough along for other ears to hear, I was immediately inspired to share the song, my appreciation for the cats and an idea for creating a video & Big Cat fund-raising program with Carole Baskin, Founder and "Big Cat Momma" of  Big Cat Rescue.  Because Carole is typically globe-trotting or up to her eyeballs in meetings, I was open to the idea that it may be quite a while before I would hear back from her.  To my great surprise and delight, I received an e-mail from her early the NEXT morning and the wheels were immediately set in motion to adopt the song "Beautiful, Wild and Free" as Big Cat Rescue's new theme song - and start the process of filming a video!

We first started with a storyboard based around the concept of the song that we were able to bring to life through a combination of green screen & on-site filming, some carefully chosen still images and Chris Poole's (Big Cat Rescue Media Producer extraordinaire) incredible library of Big Cat footage.  Together with Chris and the added time and talent of John Hartmann (song pre-production & green-screen), Jody Gray of Pro Star Recording (final song mix and mastering), Jeanna Ramsburg of Salon Volo (hair stylist), Beatrice Flourney of Beach Beauty Mobile Day Spa (make-up), the Big Cat Rescue team and BCR's superstar feline residents, the video for "Beautiful, Wild and Free" and our fund-raising program for Big Cat Rescue launched on June 9th, 2010.  I can honestly say that this has been one of the greatest highlights of my career so far, with literally EVERY part of the process (especially getting to be with and sing to the cats!) being an absolute joy and gift.

It is my hope that those who view this video get even a small taste of the power and majesty of these animals, feel the magic of Big Cat Rescue and are moved to take action to be part of the solution* for big cats.

Let this song and BCR's feline ambassadors serve as a reminder
"...just like them I see - we're all beautiful, wild and free..."
