Sorry, I’ve been in a slumber!!

Filed under: Uncategorized — by Ali Grace @ 1:09 am

When I began this blog in April, it was on a day I woke before sunrise and literally listened to the city where I live awaken from the slumber she was in. It was such a beautiful moment for me to LISTEN to the sounds of a community beginning their day, with all the things people were to do that day, scurrying around, the hustle and bustle of modern day life as we know it. Imagine the days when it was just a matter of finding food, shelter, fire and water. Often, I know many of us wish life were as simple as that, but it is not and we have adapted and grown, just as it has been planned we would, all along. Yes, I believe that things are just as they were planned. I believe there is a master plan, but that our Free Will Choice often shifts that for us and we can get off course, causing us undue pain and suffering, but as a good friend recently told me….”pain finds us, Ali.” It is when we seek lessons that we can only learn through pain and we are ready to endure that pain, the lessons come for us to finally learn. Then the pain subsides.

As soon as I started the blog, I began to allow all of my fears sink in of what people who knew me or had known me may think when they began to read what I would write- knowing that I share a LOT of who I am in my writings and as the Divine Feminine Goddess I am, I am entitled to change my mind, say what may not always be PC and even swear at times when I feel there is no other word to describe my feelings. So, I began to “sleep” again (hence the no entries for some time now) as I feared the awakening that was desperately trying to get out of me. It was my consciousness….my inner soul, wanting to have her voice heard. For whoever may listen, to whomever may be drawn to what I was allowing myself to funnel through me into this 3 dimensional world from the outer worlds beyond time and space. So, using my humor (perceived as it may be) and fearlessness to be heard as my vehicle to reach those drawn into my sphere, I am here now, ready to begin sharing all that comes through my mind and hopefully, my soul. But not all, as I am writing a book and I need to leave something to entice you with!!!

During my “slumber” from writing, I actually accomplished a few important things in my life. I opened Guilt Free Goddess and she certainly has a mind of her own! She has taught me a lot this year as I continue to grow and enter into spaces I have never been. But again, my fearlessness approach to her has been what continues to fuel the creativity of what she brings to women for their life balance, prosperity and authentic living through self love and self honor. Encouraging them to bring all the love they find within to their own world – family, significant others, friends, colleagues, etc. It has been such a joy to watch who comes in and what they do with the things GFG exposes to them. I continue to grow from their growth and my own life continues to offer me great experiences from which to fulfill my own learning curve in the game of life! GFG has been God-Sent, I am certain of it. It has been a lifetime in the makings. Finding my voice, my inner calling, my desire to help women succeed, my love for speaking and teaching (although, knowing I am ALWAYS the student!!)…yes, GFG has been heaven for me on so many levels, many of which I do not even fully understand yet.

Anyhow, I am back and I am delighted for those of you who will be a part of this community will serve to teach and inspire others to be their best!

I have several entries coming…..I just did not want to post them all today (maybe just a few!!). But today has been a writing day that is for sure! From money to sex to politics and our Beloved Planet Earth. Topics I rarely write about, but they are coming through….so, I hope you enjoy!

Blessings and peace,

Ali

Creating Your Vision – Life Balance

Filed under: Uncategorized — by Ali Grace @ 4:59 am

Tonight we had a conference call for women wanting to begin creating their Vision for their life.  I coudl feel the energy of the women all there investing in themselves the time to be there tonight.  This is the first step towards creating your dream…showing up!  When we show up for ourselves and take a new step into new territory, we are beginning a process of creation.  In tonight’s call, one of our very own Guilt Free Goddess Instructors, Lisa Sahakian, guided us through a Visioning Process, created at the Agape Spiritual Center in Culver City.  As a practionner student, Lisa has guided many through this process to help them begin to really feel into their soul’s true vision for themselves.  We all come into this world with a purpose.  Through life, we can sometimes get off track. Through visioning we help ourselves get back on track.

One of our callers wrote in a question prior to the call that dealt with BALANCE.  My FAVORITE WORD!  The question was “How do I fit in MY NEEDS and still maintain a happy family?”  This is almost the exact reason why I created GFG.  How do I stay true to myself and still be there for others.  The answer is SELF HONORING and SELF LOVING States of being.  When we truly learn what helps us stay balanced and we honor that in ourselves, it becomes easy to maintain balance in all of our lives. 

Another aspect of this is Quality vs Quantity of what we give to our loved ones.  The expenditure and renewal of our energy is key to the Quality/Quantity struggle.  If we keep emptying our glass and never re-fill it, then what is left….nothing, it is dry!  We become dry.  Our CORE ENERGY SOURCE dries up.  So, we must learn to nurture it. 

At the GFG retreats, we teach many exercises in which you learn how to re-new your CORE ENERGY SOURCE.  So, when life gets hectic, you know that spending that hour on YOU is not only needed for you…it is also needed for your family.  When Mommy screams STOP, I can;’t take it anymore…she is all dried out!  Her core energy is empty.  But when Mommy tells the family in a loving way (because she is coming from a self honoring place within her) that she needs to go take her Yoga class, meditate, paint, write, etc….the receivers receive her message differently…they understand and it is a loving exchange.

So…..for everyone reading this…know that being self honoring and self loving is really LOVING your entire family!  As we take care of ourselves in a loving way, the people around us respond differently.  It becomes a gentle understanding of love and compassion….we begin to work together vs apart…Unity Occurs and Love follows!

So, Heres to Balance, Love and Unity!

Blessings and Peace,

Ali Grace

Welcome to GFG

Filed under: Uncategorized — by Ali Grace @ 7:58 am

Welcome to the Guilt Free Goddess blog. This is a place where you will find my personal messages, thoughts, experiences and deepest healing’s to share with all who find our Goddess community! I will also be posting our Free Teleconference info and our Free GFG Seminar info- so be on the lookout for them!

Please also check out our retreats at our website: www.GuiltFreeGoddess.com (click on the top right column)

Guilt Free Goddess Retreats was created from my heart and inspired by my soul. It has taken me 40 years to find my soul’s path and every experience I had brought me to this moment of my creative expression. Living life in my truest authenticity and daring to share it with the world. The freedom in that last sentence is probably the most healing aspect of my life today. Freedom has been my MANTRA these past few years and the benefits in my life are more abundant than I ever expected! All of the masks have disappeared and what you see now is authentically me!

My greatest joy is to bring what I have learned to other women, who, like me, have suffered burnout, heart ache, fear, health crises, disappointment, self esteem issues, etc, etc. In addition, I have also experienced Joy, Happiness, Complete and Total Self Love, Blissful moments, Romantic Love and Excitement. In this blog and mostly in my retreats, I will share my stories and my learnings with the hope that when you read my writings, you will find some piece, one word, that touches you and inspires you to be the AMAZING, FABULOUS and GORGEOUS Child of God who is loved and who is love.

My gift to you is the gift of me. And your gift to me is the gift of you. When we meet in Rumi’s field….you will understand what I mean…I’ll be waiting for you.

“Out beyond the fields of right doing and wrong doing…there is a field, I’ll meet you there” – Rumi
