Gotta Love You Babe!

Happy Valentine’s Day!

I appreciate you hanging in there with me the past few years while I tried to find my voice again. You see two years ago on February 14^th, it was the icing on the cake of long term betrayal in my marriage. I won’t bore you with the heartbreaking details but that day I was left on my knees, crying my eyes out and alone! I made a pledge to myself in that moment of deep pain and sorrow that February 14^th would forever be a day to LOVE ME UP!

Valentine’s day is to honor and love ourselves as women.

I now treat myself to something nice every year, good food, message, mani-pedi or a new educational program. Last year I got my Apple watch and I love it.

This year I love myself so much for coming back with more courage and capabilities than I had before. It took a great deal of inner work to put this all behind me. Some of the things I am treating myself to are programs that inspire my mind and touch my soul.

I’m working on participating with a mastermind group at the Tony Robbins event Unleash Your Power in March.

I’m going to spend a 3-day weekend retreat with Elizabeth Gilbert in May.

I am going to take an Aromatherapy course in June.

In September, I am doing a weekend retreat with Miranda McPherson in New Hampshire.

I’m single and I am loving it. It did take some adjustment I must admit. I am totally loving me!

You Are Never Too Old!

I have been deeply touched by the recent movement of women coming together to speak their truth about equal rights and ending sexual and physical abuse. Sadly, the politics in our country have stirred massive fear and anger in the female population. I just wish we all had started being so proactive years ago rather than reacting to a specific ideology and commentary. I love how they expressed themselves in so many creative ways, sharing what was in their hearts with the world.

Honestly, as I age I become less concerned with what others think and I am more focused on my own evaluation. Having been a major people pleaser, forgoing my own dreams and self-worth for the approval of others has come to an end. I don’t care what other people think of me. Everything I do has the intention of love, laughter and giving in some way. If that stirs something negative in someone else, I think they need to look at their own sh*t and figure it out.

The more playful and free I am, the younger I feel. I love laughing at me. I dress up with my dog, and post funny pictures to Facebook. I live in hot pink and orange clothing because it perks me up. Somebody might think I am a little demented but I am having a blast.

Today I am going out with my pink pussy hat. This ought to stir some commentary. Who says I can’t wear one? As I said before, you are never too old. I’m going to a dance class where the women are half my age. I can kick and bend with the best of them.

How about Tom Brady, the quarterback for the New England Patriots coming back from the impossible in Super Bowl? He is 39 years old which is considered old for the position. He never stopped believing in himself or his team. He has worked hard to keep himself so physically fit. He doesn’t think he is old and he competes with the best.

A healthy mindset works for both men and women!

I love bringing positive energy and encouraging people to be and do more!

Have a rock star day!

Sending you big love,

Don’t Be Afraid to Be You

I have spent the past several months just recouping my energy, connecting with gratitude daily and getting clear about my life. Every day since the beginning of the year, the word authenticity keeps coming to me. I guess it is trying to tell me something.

I am in touch with my thoughts and feelings. I am also completely honest about them with other people. I don’t feel like I need to put a superwoman cape on anymore. Life has shown me through recent challenges how resilient I am. I know how to advocate for myself and most of all its ok to feel like a woman. I don’t need to mask my emotions and hide my pain.

Today I am writing this with a big snowstorm outside, I am home burning candles with my fur baby Hannah pressed next to me feeling complete bliss. I’m relaxed, peaceful and appreciating every moment, no expectations or attachments clouding my thinking from being present. Honestly, I haven’t been this present in years. I didn’t realize how distracted I had become.

It all comes down to living full out and being me, not being afraid to be me!

The bliss I’m referring to is that pure joy you experienced as a child when you were dancing and singing without a care. You never thought about people watching and what they were thinking. You were just doing your “thing” unrestricted, openly and authentically. You were that little girl that could announce to a room full of people that she had to poop. (Could you do any of that today?)

My name for this unrestricted, untamed happiness is #divine wildness. You all have it in you but it gets buried when others criticize you. It means being the goddess, the diva, the divine feminine whatever you want to call it. I personally connect with #divine wildness.

It is the powerful feminine energy running through your body that inspires the authentic you, the bold heart-centered unrestricted you.

This feminine energy is so powerful it has inspired men to become women this year. It toppled several high profile political careers and is the main thread for most of the advertising we are bombarded with. It is powerful beyond measure.

Over the next few months I am creating a new podcast interviewing women who live tuned in and turned on by #divine wildness. Their authentic stories will light up the wildness in you!

I promise they will inspire you to embrace more of you in 2017. I invite you to walk this path with me and my guests. Let’s have fun and blast out of whatever is holding you back

To the Divine Wildness in you!

Big Love,
Mal

Do Resolutions Really Work

Why do you set yourself up for failure by making resolutions every December 31st? The definition of the word resolution alone is a little bit of a tip off. It says a resolution is finding a solution to a problem or making a decision to do something. The two kick in the ass words here are problem and decision. When you focus on solving a problem rather than preferred actions for a solution, you get more problems.

The second issue is decision. You make decisions all day long and then you change your mind five minutes later. But when you have an intention, now you are putting your heart and soul behind something. Intentions are powerful magnets which attract that which they desire.

In 1988, my intention was to stop drinking or I probably would die. My vision was to live a sober life, step up and claim the life I was meant to have. Anesthetizing myself daily so I couldn’t feel the pain of self-loathing and condemnation wasn’t working anymore. I had come to the threshold of death and ready to pass through. It was real, it was scary and it was so close. In a split second, my mind went from the pain and the problem to the intention of loving myself enough to want to live and get sober. That split second was twenty eight years ago. I’m still living with intention today.

I have learned to really create what you want you need to put your soul behind it and not your head. Resolutions come from the head and are associated with depriving yourself which creates negative emotions. Your emotions are the gateway to your subconscious mind.Resolutions lack the commitment of intentions. You might say they are equal to a goal which are great for your business but not necessarily for changing habitual behavior. You need to access your subconscious to create the desired change.

So why create resolutions which create an internal struggle for yourself? Your ego resides in your head which doesn’t like being uncomfortable is telling you to stop something but it is attached to the repetitive actions. The struggle between the ego and your subconscious mind which is driven by your heart makes you feel uncomfortable.

You know what happens when you feel uncomfortable. You stop what you are doing. There goes your new resolution out the window 48-72 hours after you created it.

I am suggesting this year you start with an intention worksheet for what you want. You can get a free one off my website. It is part of the Life Recovery Guide. Just put in your email at Mal Duane Coach. Get the sheet and start too visualize the positive actions that you are striving to achieve. In fact repeat that visualization every morning and night. Maybe even journal about how good it feels to living the way you envision the change you desire. Daily take action steps that support your intention. The more you do this, the better you will feel. That’s the secret sauce here.

How you feel determines your success. Feeling good means mind body and soul are in alignment with your proposed intention.

Try setting intentions they new Year’s and jump on over to Facebook at Mal Duane Coach
and let me know how you are doing.

Are You a Truth Teller?

I have a few really powerful thought provoking questions for you today.

Have you thought about your story, your journey and realized that you have a powerful lesson inside of you that maybe you should share with the world?
If you told your story could you help others?
If you told your truth would it inspire others to love themselves just the way they are?

I told you these are not easy questions.

[ctt template=”1″ link=”vWfRF” via=”no” ]The fact is that all of us have a purpose on this planet. The trajectory of out lives creates the lessons we are meant to teach.[/ctt]

My lessons became very clear to me several years ago and inspired me to write my award winning Amazon bestseller Alpha Chick.

Writing a book is no small task but more and more people are doing it and becoming Indie-Authors. You write it and you publish it allowing you to get your message out to the world. What if everything you needed to know was available in one place? Well it is!!!

I’d like to tell you about an exciting event that I’ve been chosen to participate in.

I will be one of this year’s speakers at the Publishing Success Summit hosted by Eric Van Der Hope. For 17 days I will join 64 other book industry experts to help provide you with the fundamentals of how to build a solid foundation on which to publish a professional book, not only that, but a bestselling book. As a result, you’ll be able to publish successfully & effectively share your message around the world which will help pave the way to make an impact on other people’s lives.

This year’s Summit Experts are quite the dream team! Collectively, we’ve participated in the making of hundreds of books, many of them NYT & Amazon bestsellers and as a result have sold millions of copies throughout the world & we want to help you touch more lives by helping you publish and sell books successfully.

At the Summit you’ll learn the secrets of bestselling authors like …

Developing a book pitch and know why you need one (even before you begin writing).
How to sell books by the truckload without having dreaded returns.
Where qualified editors can be found (which are critical to the success of a published book).
When & How to start marketing your book for the greatest success.
How to create a plot that sustains a complete novel.

What the anatomy of a bestselling campaign looks like.

You’ll learn all this and MUCH, MUCH more!

The entire 17-day Summit will be available for $397 AFTER it’s allover, but because I’m one of the experts being interviewed, Eric has allowed me to invite anyone I want for free! 🙂

There will also be some great upgrades available if you’re looking to push your book publishing process as well as marketing to the next level …

So, I invite you to join me and the 64 other book industry ROCK STARS at the world’s largest Book Publishing Event of it’s kind online, where we all have come together under 1 virtual roof!

What are you thankful for?

Today I was on a call with my mentor Linda Joy, Aspire Magazine and Inspired Living Publisher. She said to me you are full of gratitude. I can hear it in your voice. You are so peaceful and present. You know what? She is right.

When I think back to last year at this time, I was so stressed out. I was in deep emotional pain pending divorce proceedings scheduled for early December.

Divorce is an energetically draining process no matter how hard you try to keep it balanced. Lawyers and the legal system make it confrontational and consuming. They drag it out which takes enormous wear and tear on the parties involved. I am so thankful to have this behind me which opens me up to a long list of things that I have on my gratitude list.

My health is always my priority, without it I would have nothing. I am blessed to have perfect health as I am nine months shy of my 70th birthday.
My home looks so beautiful now. I have painted and redecorated throughout. I did cleaning rituals with sage and blessings to remove negative energy. My home is my foundation. It is my happy place. There is nothing I love more than curling up with my dog on my bed and reading a good book or arranging beautiful flowers for my living room. I am so happy to live alone now.
I am really focused and productive again. I’m loving my work more than ever. I have wonderful clients who really appreciate my services. I’m feeling deeply inspired to expand my message as I move forward to help women become financially sound. This was a very important lesson as I went through my divorce that a woman needs to be financially independent so she can advocate for herself. I don’t know how women survive the process without money.
I am so happy in the present moment daily but also very excited about the future. I haven’t felt this optimistic in a long time.
I have written about this before but it’s worth mentioning again. I have no fear. I not pulled into any negativity. I just look at everything without judgement. Definitely a saving grace during the recent presidential election.

The best part of this gratitude is that it comes from within. This is not based on anything outside of me. However, it does make me value all that I have and the beautiful friends that are part of my life.

This Thanksgiving, I am sending you a double serving of gratitude and I want you to know how much I love having you be part of my community.

Sending Big Love,
Mal

How I Became Fearless… and You Can Too!

Are you wallowing in pain or becoming fearless?

I posted on Facebook the other day that I was feeling fearless! This feeling of complete calm and loving it didn’t happen overnight. I can honestly admit to you that I worked on developing it. I am hesitant to use the word create, I think that is too egotistical. I worked hard and did some heavy lifting to get here. I’m not any different or more special than any of you.

Actually, I am just like you. I have many of the same fears and painful challenges.

A Course in Miracles says that the opposite of fear is love. So if I was previously consumed with fear than it must mean I was lacking love. Looking back on my life I would have to agree. I was missing a lot of love, especially for myself.

Through my 28 years of recovery I believe I have really embraced self love. My self care and self worth has grown exponentially. I never expected there was room for more loss and more growth. I thought I had learned all my lessons, but the cosmic 2 x 4 hit me one more time.

My biggest challenge would become by greatest teacher and end up leaving me FEARLESS!

I now understand that unloving acts which I was not conscious of in any way were sabotaging my divine feminine life force. Betrayal and violation which I knew nothing about were now acting like growing malignancies in my energy field. Although I felt fear and felt threatened, I didn’t fully understand why. I didn’t comprehend the nature of the perpetration until I discovered it.

It is not what happened that matters but what I learned from it which can help you.

I now understand after deep personal reflection of all the things that have happened to me in my lifetime, that I am always in a better place afterwards. You are probably asking how can that be?

If these painful emotional challenges had not happened, I would have been pulled down further, suffered more personal damage and I would not been inspired to create change in my life. It took time for the crumbling ground under my feet to settle but when it did I realized I was so much more resilient than I ever thought possible.

There are three things that helped me and will help you to understand evolving into a fearless and resilient being.

1. Deep and thoughtful reflection of a past or present event, understanding and accepting that it is happening for your growth and well-being. Something is ending to it can open you up to a better experience.

2. Journaling about the experience to get expanded clarity that doesn’t come from your ego’s perception but from your heart’s. When you write, the words will come from within and not from your outer reactions.

3. Understanding your role and what you can and can’t control. Other people’s behavior towards you has nothing to do with you. What is the highest and best action for you to take in this situation.

The outcome is that you will put all the pieces together and you will see the thread of personal growth in each situation. You will understand that life’s challenges happen so that you can evolve more into the divine being you are meant to be rather than as some type of persecution.

Our lives are just a pathway of lessons in this cosmic classroom. You can choose to do your heart work (homework) and master the lessons or you can ignore them and continue to play in a minefield of demise and despair.

Ignite Your Impact and Create a Legacy by Giving Back

What if I told you that you have the power to change the world. One of the greatest joys of business success is that it gives you the influence, platform, and financial ability to impact millions of people worldwide.

Zig Ziglar said, “You can have everything in life you want, if you will just help enough other people get what they want.” It’s true!

Givers gain! The more you give, the more you receive. That’s why many entrepreneurs are making the choice to add philanthropic work as a part of their business plan.

Knowing that you are working for something bigger than yourself provides tremendous satisfaction. It allows you to turn your work, into a legacy that will last long after you are gone. When you commit yourself to serving with your gifts, you’ll find that Universe conspires to provide everything you need to accomplish that.

So you may be asking myself how will giving back benefit my business? Here are three ways.

1) Reputation. People like to align themselves with businesses who are making a difference. Committing to raising funds for a charity or a philanthropic organization reveals your generous spirit. That can be a powerful way to differentiate your brand.

2) Contribution. It allows you to make a personal contribution to raise awareness, funds and support to directly impact the lives of others. Whether you are building a park for area kids, building a school for children in underprivileged counties, or providing food for the hungry to your local food pantry, you’ll have the satisfaction of knowing you are helping others.

3) Opportunity. Having a give back initiative to your business raises your vibration. Influential people will be drawn and want to work with you. Exciting projects will come your way. You will attract a higher level of clientele. You get back what you give tenfold. When you commit to giving back, the resources, tools, people, and opportunities you need will manifest in your life. You don’t need to see the whole path, just the first step to the staircase. Step out with confidence and watch the magic happen!

The first question is always, Where do we start?

Step 1: Decide that it’s a heartfelt priority. Ask yourself what causes are near and dear to your heart. For me that was easy. When I was a single, newly divorced woman with two children to support, I had a breast cancer scare. A Silver Lining Foundation donated a free mammogram – which detected a mass. Then they paid for the follow up biopsy. Thankfully I did not have breast cancer. But having peace of mind that I would be healthy and strong to be a mother for my kids meant the world to me. That’s why I am making A Silver Lining Foundation my charity of choice.

Another great example is Kathy and Rich Fettke of Real Wealth Network. (//www.realwealthnetwork.com/) They work directly with three charitable organizations that are dear to their hearts.

Kathy Fettke shared, “We chose Operation Smile because our daughter felt so passionate about it when she realized she could save the babies life for just $300. She is very active with this organization and plans to go to Africa to assist with the operations the summer. We also work with Mentors International because they are an amazing organization that does microloans to families who learn to take care of themselves. We love that concept. Finally, we selected Saint Jude as an organization we donate to through to Noris group because they offer to cover expenses for sick children. ”

2) Pick a Special Day, your Birthday, Wedding, Retirement Party, a Holiday. Announce that you are giving a portion of proceeds from that day to donate to your charity of choice. Tell others instead of a birthday or Christmas gift, to donate to your charity of choice.

3)Pick a Signature Product or Event that you can Co-Brand to be an official fundraiser for your charity. You may wish to write a collaborative book that 50% of proceeds go for a charitable cause. Another idea is to donate the fee from your seminar to a charitable project. That’s what Fabienne Frederickson of Client Attraction Business School has done with her Half Day Solution seminars she holds around the country. With each event she helps to build schools for children in third world countries. As part of the event she thanks each of the event attendees and thanks them letting them know that their registration fee is helping to build that school. It’s a beautiful, rewarding feeling for the audience to know they are helping contribute.

Another example is the holiday charity song “Do They Know It’s Christmas” by Band Aid in which the world’s top recording artists pulled together to record and promote a song for charity. in 2014 when an updated version of the song was released the sales of that album was donated to aid the Ebola crisis in West Africa.

4) Charity at Checkout. ASK at the time of purchase. The donations add up quickly. Any entrepreneur could add an upsell after a customer purchases a product asking if they would like to donate $1, $5, $10 to your charity of choice. Charity checkout programs span numerous retail categories. For example when I shop for groceries, KMart asks if I would like to donate $1 to St. Jude’s Hospital for Kids. To date, Kmart has raised more than $76.7 million for St. Jude kids since 2006.

5) Volunteer. If you don’t have money to donate, offer to give your time or talents. If you have PR skills you can donate time to write a press release for a local charity. If you are a coffee shop, you can donate coffee for a local event helping the needy. Sandy Mueller of Baird and Warner is a local Chicago area real estate agent who donates her time every year to coordinating a local Thanksgiving Day meal for the hungry.

6) Celebrate Make A Difference Day. On October 24th, millions of volunteers across the nation will unite with a common mission – to improve the lives of others. Find out more about Make A Difference Day here.

Together We Can Make a Difference!

It’s easy to think that you are only one person, how much can you really do. You will never know the ripple effect of the one action you take to make a difference. My favorite song, “This is my Fight Song” by Rachel Platten, includes this line: “I may only have one match, but I can start an explosion.” I know that’s true. Embrace your voice, your personal power, your ability to do what you can.

I hope as you are making your plans for this next year you’ll search your heart to ask “how can I give back and make a greater impact?” Together, let’s commit to transform lives and the world FOREVER!

How Loving Yourself Can Change the World

Today’s Guest article is by Dr. Debra Reble

By loving yourself wholeheartedly, you can change the world. You become a conduit for love when you fully embrace and express your true nature—which is, and has always been, love. The more you love yourself, the more you eliminate negativity, connect compassionately with others, and become ambassadors of love in the world.

Like dropping a pebble into a pond, loving yourself creates an energetic vibration that radiates outward from your heart center and shifts everyone and everything in its path. When you emanate the highest frequency of love, you not only receive the benefits of the high vibration, but also raise the vibration of others around you. People emitting lower frequencies will rise to the occasion when in your presence by matching that higher frequency.

When you sustain self-love and compassion by being kind, nonjudgmental, and nonreactive—especially when you struggle, make mistakes, or feel unworthy—you are more likely to behave this way toward others. Such positive behavior generates universal love, inner peace, and spiritual attunement with everyone and everything.

This ripple of love begins by accepting all parts of yourself without reservation, no matter how you feel about them. If you are unwilling to do this for yourself, you cannot expect others to do it for you, and you certainly cannot do it for others.

You can wake up in the morning loving yourself, even when faced with the most challenging situations or when you feel tired or uninspired. Focus on the aspects of yourself you love rather than on those you dislike. Just imagine how one moment of self-compassion can change your entire day, and now consider how such moments, repeated over and over, could change your life and the lives of others.

Another way to foster self-love and change our world is by eliminating all of the violent thoughts, words, and actions we inflict upon ourselves. Many of us move through our days berating, shaming, and terrorizing ourselves with our thoughts in ways we would never express to anyone we love. Self-love must be the source from which all our thoughts, words, and choices come from and flow into the world.

Whether it’s a sunny day or a cloudy day, it’s essential you sustain positive thoughts, words, and energy flow. You can pause frequently as you move through any challenging situation so that you remain consciously aware of yourself, your environment, and any reactions that may arise. In this way, you not only soothe your own anger and anxiety, but refrain from doing harm to others through your reaction. In fact, simply by practicing self-love, you can leave whatever space you’re in charged with more positive energy than it contained when you arrived.

We must constantly release anyone or anything that impedes the flow of love within us, and restore peace and harmony in all aspects of our lives. When we harbor resentment, worry excessively, become angry, or feel stressed, we block the flow of energy in our bodies, especially our heart centers, and diminish our ability to express self-love to transform the world.

Begin your day by initiating self-love. Close your eyes, place a hand on the center of your chest, and focus your attention on your heart. Radiate love in the form of gratitude or compassion to yourself and then direct it out from toward others.

If as many of us as possible harnessed the energy of self-love and shifted our negative thoughts and emotions to positive ones, we would have the greatest transformational power our world ever created. Our hearts emanate a harmonic electromagnetic energy field that positively impacts all living beings and our environment. It is possible to do this simply through radiating love to ourselves and then out from our hearts, one love beam at a time. Such love beams can shift the energy of all negativity and bring about the highest and best good for all.

When you choose to love, respect, and preciously care for yourself, you set the tone for others to do the same. Practicing at least one act of kindness toward yourself every day can sustain happiness, well-being, and self-love, while giving you more energy to serve others.

When we emanate self-love, we transcend to our highest level of soul potential. We perform better at work, are more creative, are healthier, and impact our world in a positive way. It is time we realize that we are change agents of love. To transform our planet, we must elevate our vibration and seed the environment with droplets of love.
