It all started with a swarm of bees…
In the wee hours of one Indian summer night, I awoke to a sound that was undeniably a swarm of bees(?) inside my room(?)!
WEIRD, I thought, and went back to sleep.
A couple of hours later, it got even weirder.
I awoke before my daughter and before dawn (both VERY unusual). This time the bees were inside my head, swirling and buzzing as they do. It sounded and felt like hundreds of them inside my brain ‘adjusting’ and ‘activating’ something with their distinct vibration.
Sounds crazy right?
As crazy as it sounds, it really did happen.
When the bees left my head, I felt like Dorothy. I’d just landed, and all was perfectly quiet. A message came to me clear as a bell:
“You need to organize a movement. It begins with 9,999 women.”

The word ‘launch’ is linear. When something launches it goes from here to there. Think of a rocket ship taking off…a little phallic, don’t ya think?
I want to do this entrepreneur thing with femininity. Why?
Because I’m a woman.
And when I bring my feminine magic to anything I do, it becomes infused with beauty, inspiration, and meaning.
Ladies, let’s re-frame the ‘launch’. Here are 7 simple steps to begin:
# 1 ~ It starts with speech.
The next time we’re on the brink of manifesting something beautiful, let’s consider saying to ourselves and others that we’re about to give birth, bring forth, or some other language that more beautifully describes our experience.
We’re not sending rocket ships off into the ethers, are we? When we finally arrive at this moment of power, our vision becomes a reality and we bring something miraculous DOWN, through, and into form. (continue reading…)
