Hello Fabulous Leading Ladies!
I know it’s been ages since I’ve posted here and I’ve so missed connecting with you in this way.
It has been one crazy ride for me the last seven or so months—crazier than I could possibly relay in a single post. What I will say is, I’m delighted to be back with you!
One thing that happened in the crazy times was my computer hard drive crashed irreparably. It would not have felt so horrible if I hadn’t used the prior six months to painstakingly move all of my data/documents (articles, books, client papers, contracts, training curriculums, etc.) off my last two computers and all my disks in order to consolidate them on my new computer. Then, of course, I discarded/wiped clean all of that data from their prior resting places. To top it off, I had recently got an external hard drive in order to back up my computer, but needed to hook it up and format it. Naturally, this lovely piece of equipment was not hooked up prior to my sudden and unexpected hard drive failure.
The short of it is…I lost EVERYTHING—years and years worth. I still have a lingering nausea that comes every time I think about it. But the truth is, that’s history. The other truth is, this was a truly minor blip compared with other events I’ve experienced both recently and in years passed (and absolutely nothing compared to the excruciating experiences that comprise the lives of many on our planet). From this vantage point I proceed.
So here’s what I’ve decided to do with this event…
I am moving forward with a “Clean Slate.” All of the books I’ve started but hadn’t finished, all of the articles I have written but hadn’t yet had a chance to publish, and of the papers I’ve written, the curriculum I’ve designed, all of it served me for a time; for that I am grateful . I have grieved the loss, but today is a new day! I have been gifted with a fresh canvas on which to paint. I am working with a “clean slate.”
Is it a little or even a lot scary? Yes!
But is it also exciting and exhilarating? Your dam right it is!!!
So from exhilaration platform of my “clean slate” I am looking at the world around me. I’m looking at you. I’m looking at myself. I’m seeing and experiencing things with new eyes and no lingering shadows. By looking at you from this new place I saw something I hadn’t noticed or paid close attention to until now.
Let’s talk about you, shall we?
Many of you on my mailing/contact list and others of you who simply happen upon or follow the LoungeTalk blog, are women I’ve never met or haven’t had the pleasure of connecting with in ages. Others of you, I have the privilege of connecting/working with more often. Wherever you are in this landscape, I want to know and support you more.
I want to reflect back to you the magnificent woman you are and help shepherd you to new and unimaginable levels of joy, fulfillment and true abundance.
I’m offering you a clean slate on which you can design your future.
If you do not currently have a Coach, you are my priority! With 2010 less than two months away, I believe it’s time to insist that your life be everything you have longed for and then some.
Do you have a dream, something you have been aching to do, accomplish, attain? Are you ready to get supported in making that dream a reality? If so, those are the only two prerequisites for working with me as your Coach .
If you are reading this, there is a reason. I truly believe this. And the reason is, you are at a new threshold in your life’s journey. You are ready for coaching and the door is open to you

To You, the Dance and a Magnificent Future
Happy Wednesday Leading Ladies!
As you may have noticed, August has been one busy month (I’m just getting a chance to post here and our beloved “Fit To Play Wednesday” coach, Debra, has taken some well deserved time off too). I’m sure you have also found that work, life and hopefully a good dose of play, have made August simply dance by for you as well. I hope you are having the time of your life and making every day, every minute count!
I’m sending ever so much love your way!
Here are my current musings/offerings for today’s post
It’s going to be a rather hot one here in Salem Oregon today (mid 90’s), but now that we have our blessed heat pump/air conditioner installed, I’m looking forward to only being in the heat when I want to be today…what a wonderful thought!
As I consider this, I am reminded of other aspects of our lives where we have the power to invest in changes that allow us to minimize or eliminate the possibility of encountering situations we don’t like or want in our lives. In coaching these things are called “tolerations” (as many of you, particularly my coaching clients, know already).
The parallel is a simple one. In this case, my Hubby and I made a decision to invest in our home’s new capacity for heating and cooling (and not a small investment), which now affords me a magnificent work and living environment (while offering me a choice to bask in the sun and heat when I wish as well). In the same way, we each have opportunities to look around our lives right now and consider what we either want, or no longer want, present in our environment, practices or experiences. “
In this light I offer the following questions and challenges for your consideration…
What are you currently “tolerating?”
(For now just think of one thing/issue situation)
What do you want to experience?
What will it take to get there?
(What do you need to do, stop doing, or do differently to insure the result you’re looking for?)
Once you’ve answered these questions, you are equipped with the tools you need to begin the investment in your most perfect future. Begin investing/taking action today and fill your world with opportunities, choices, freedom and abundance! It’s your magnificent future in the making spectacular Leading Lady—why not make it expansive and beautiful beyond your wildest imaginations?
Here’s to you and the precious gift you are to yourself, to me and to all who have the privilege of being in your life!
Love and abundance to you!

Creating Our Own Reality
Hello Magnificent Leading Ladies,
Well, it’s another sunny day here in Salem Oregon and I’m delighted to say that we are currently having a new water heater and heat pump/air conditioning installed…it will be all done by tomorrow evening and we can’t wait to fire up the AC and get our house the fabulous 68 degrees that my Hubby and I both love.
For now, the sounds of our work crew and the unexpected/additional noise of work crews/heavy machinery out front replacing the sewer pipes all down our street is well…let’s just say…less than peaceful.
So as I work in my home office today, I am constantly mindful of my own power to create my reality. My natural response to this noise and chaos is stress and anxiety but my conscious, purposeful choice is to breathe deeply, smile and work in gratitude—knowing that each of these seeming distractions will be gifting me with more reliable plumbing/sewage disposal (in fact this will be true for my neighbors as well), more efficient means of heating our water, more efficient heating of our home in the winter and the blessed cool of the AC! Awe, that drill running right outside my office right now is simply music to my ears.
Challenge/gift of the day:
As you sit reading this blog, I challenge you to take note of your current environment and note your natural response to the variables that are taking place around you. If your responses are all positive than bask in the glory of being in such a beautiful space. If you have natural negative responses to any aspects of your surrounding, I challenge you to find the gift in them by exploring...
Is the variable something
* You can change?
If so, this is a gift because you are now very aware of the fact that it’s something you don’t like and you have the power to change it. When would you like to make this change? Schedule the time and make it so my friend.
* You can appreciate the need/value of?
If so, this is a wonderful time to take note of the reasons you appreciate this aspect of your environment. What does it now, or will it in time, gift you? How fabulous is that?!
* You don’t care to or can’t change?
If so, this is a perfect time to begin a practice of “allowing” this to be what it is and bask in the gratitude you have for all of the other aspects of your environment, situation and life.
In this spirit of loving what is and creating our most beloved reality I leave you with this thought.

Summer Delights
Hello Beautiful Leading Ladies!
It is one hot day here in Salem Oregon and sounds to be even more spicy hot tomorrow. As I sit here cooling off after a fabulous workout and a very cold shower that felt amazing (but only served to cool me while I was immersed in it) my thoughts are drifting to you and I’m realizing I’ve not posted in a bit so…
Inquiring minds want to know:
What do you love about summer? You needn’t filter your thoughts as I am not looking for anything specific. I’m simply interested in the first thoughts that pop into your mind at the asking of this question. It could be that you have memories that revisit you in the summer season. It may be that you have certain beloved activities that tend to lend themselves to the sunny temps of the summer months. It could be that you have a special vacation spot that you go to in the summer. Whatever your thoughts, I'd love to hear them. Just drop me a line at
angel@leadingladieslounge.com
and share your favorite thing/things about summer.
I will pick my one or two top picks from these entries to put in the Aug Leading Ladies E-zine and would be happy to include your name, a two to three sentence bio and a link to your web site (or your email address), if yours’ gets chosen for publication.
Wanna play???
Just send me your answer (1-3 paragraphs is perfect) and don’t forget your name, bio, website URL or email address. Please paste all info into the body of your email (no attachments please) and put the words “Favorite Thing(s) About Summer” in the subject field. It’s as easy as that!
To get your juices flowing I’ll start…
My new favorite thing to do in summer is to plan several months prior to summer for a wonderful, romantic stay in a B&B for my Hubby and myself. Our anniversary is July 3rd and we started this tradition two years ago on our Honeymoon (so we just returned from our 3rd one and it was soooo lovely).
Out of those three stays I am left raving about two of them, so in case you’re ever looking for a magnificent place to stay in Oregon sometime, the B&B’s we most love so far are:
Portland OR
White House
http://www.portlandswhitehouse.com
Bend OR
Cricketwood
http://www.cricketwood.com
Besides this fun adventure in summer my other favorite thing to do is swim (especially in natural bodies of water such as lakes and rivers—Yummy!)
Can’t wait to hear about your summer delights!
With love,
Coach Angel

Here's to Graduates
Happy Friday Incredible Leading Ladies!
Today I have my mind all wrapped up in feelings of nostalgia and thoughts about the power of completions, closures and new beginnings. Gene’s daughter Hillary is graduating with her B.S. degree on Sunday and we’re throwing a little party for her tomorrow. So this weekend is all about Hillary—what could be wrong with that? Especially if you’re Hillary!
Here’s to you Hillary—We’re sooo proud of you!!!
As you can see, we’re really looking forward to celebrating with her and since my thoughts are swirling around graduation, celebration and transitions I wanted to take a moment to celebrate with you too!
If you are a graduate or know one I offer these quotes in a toast to the perfect present (enjoy every moment, you never get this exact one ever again)and the powerful possibilities of the future (you are the Creator—make your masterpiece!)…
“I hope your dreams take you to the corners of your smiles, to the highest of your hopes, to the windows of your opportunities, and to the most special places your heart has ever known.”
- Author Unknown
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the
safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.
- Mark Twain
Have an amazing weekend and…
“Wherever you go, go with all your heart.”
- Confucius
With love,
Coach Angel
