My GEM Power

My GEM Power Many women feel stuck in the middle of their lives. Here you'll embrace what makes you feel alive. We don’t believe your body needs to be fixed or controlled.

We don’t believe you need to be dressed in a particular way to be acceptable. In fact, we don’t believe your body is the problem. We want you to celebrate your body for what it does, instead of its shape. The body you were given is right! We believe that you need to really know your body identity as a key to knowing and expressing your whole self. We want you to know yourself in order to accept yourself, to be able to say “This is me”! Don’t hide, make yourself invisible or miss out on life. You are a real G.E.M.

I want to acknowledge women the world over on

Women are soft, strong, serious, silly, supportive, superhuman and sensitive. And much, much more.

I wish we didn’t need a day to be recognized and respected and reminded for the impact we have.

Look at women (yourself included) and be amazed.

Be your own best friend, love yourself the way you want to be loved, move through the world with your essence shining-you will never find another you.

Full moon energy. I can’t believe that I’m here in St Francis watching the full moon rise over the Indian Ocean with one of my oldest and dearest friends.

This is a time of letting go, and letting come.

One week visiting places of my life before leaving South Africa. With my sister as my partner-in-crime, chaperone and chief story teller.

By birth order she’s #3, I’m #4. A decade separates us in age. And yet in many ways we are two peas in a pod.

Specially the way we react to things. Often we respond in unison to something. It’s hilarious.

We haven’t lived in the same country for 30 years. And yet it makes no difference-we are connected as ever.

I hope you have a sister (even chosen) you can have a great time with.

Women talking.

Connection. Connection to self, connection to others.

Mattering. Mattering to self, mattering to others.

In a talking circle you are being invited to unearth your own gems, your own gold.
This is where wisdom and hope reside.

Let's stick together while each making progress on our individual journeys.

My life always changes after travel.

Solo travel has benefitted me more than therapy. And now, right at the beginning of the Year of the Fire Horse, I know I'm in for a treat.

Travel shows me that the way I have been doing things, the patterns I am stuck in are not the only way to live my life. The firsthand experience when I travel is mind-blowing because I shift out of autopilot and into presencing.

I am not going to be a partner, mom, or CEO. I'm just going to be a friend, to myself and everyone I encounter on my wild, wonderful days.

My trip isn't fully solo. I will be with my sister, family and a couple of old friends. Not all at the same time, but here and there. There will be laughter and tears about long gone memories shared; and there will be fresh experiences of being weird and being courageous.

Can't wait.

Take a close look at this page from my 2006 planner. Twenty years ago.

I remember my son telling me he was scared. I recall my daughter saying we could get through anything. My husband was just at a loss for words.

I’m sharing this because I know a few women with Metastatic Breast Cancer and it’s f*cking hard for each of them. And yet each of these courageous, fierce women are doing exactly what is written on my hand.

It’s how we live that makes the difference. Carpe diem.

Period.

My business started on the bed in my guest room. Stickies covered the walls.

I want to create the deepest impact on women. I want to educate you by sharing my knowledge and the stories of my lived experience, I want you to feel empowered and reconnect with your own wholeness. You are wiser than me, when it comes to YOU. We don't always access our self knowledge.

I've been striving every day to be attentive to the needs of women and to preserve headspace for what really matters for you.

Creating Hidden Gems™ was a real buzz. Deciding to put Hidden Gems™ into the hands of facilitators of female healing is my bold choice (this is evidence of Fire Horse focus). We all need to be in talking circles or presencing circles as I call them. We all need the universal wisdom of the sisterhood.

I'm here for you. I hope you are here for it too!

Do you tend to avoid the cold?

You want to stay inside and snuggled up? Of course you do!

You might not know that there are real benefits of being in COLD air. Your body was designed to be able to respond to a wide range of temperatures, including cold.

Being out in the cold may help you ...
Feel calm and mentally alert (clear, clean air through your breathing)
Literally tingling and alive (lymphatic system wakes up)
Inner voice reminding you of your resilience (physical and mental)

Get outside in winter. And if you are near water, I think this amplifies the experience because there is so much energy in the water, whether it looks like polished steel or liquid green glass.

Prioritize your wellness today.

There is much more. These are the basics.

I love my life, although it has been really hard at times not to fall into perpetual anger. My gratitude is enormous, my hope is still alive.

I've been waiting for you to come along, because connecting matters to me.

Do you get pensive when something makes you really angry?

I’m working with a brilliant, beautiful woman. She’s smart, articulate and caring. When I’m in the room with her I feel how she honours me by being fully present. And yet she feels stuck, unacceptable and even invisible.

She’s Latina. That is her ‘failing’ in the eyes of a female leader at her company.

I probably don’t have to wrote one more word for you to get why I’m feeling furious. A multi cultural, well travelled woman being put down and belittled by a woman who only speaks English is nasty. Mean. And it says everything about her! Definitely not leader material. Definitely not bringing hope to the world. Definitely not a woman who will raise another woman up.

When does it end?
