WISH Wear: Something Special to Remember Your WISH

As promised, we will be featuring three women whose work has inspired us and who we have invited to become a part of this project with us.

Meet Joanna Szkiela:

She’s the founder of www.gotoredsofa.com. Before I met her, I met her jewellry and fell in love. When I ran into Joanna at a local art fair, then I bought Christmas presents for all the women in my life. You can check out her site and you’ll see some what I’m talking about.

At the art fair last winter, I told Joanna about WISH and asked if she’d be interested in doing a special piece for our ladies. Something to anchor and inspire them throughout the year. I was honored and delighted when she agreed to do it. About a week ago, Joanna came by to bring me the first finished piece, and I haven’t taken it off since.

I love it. I love wearing it. I love knowing what it stands for, and I love all the compliments I get from people who see it on me and wonder what it’s all about.

Here’s a little explanation about the pieces and their significance. This is our “official” WISH necklace:

This necklace is inspired by the idea of making our dreams come true–in essence, the whole underlying message of WISH! We’re trying to inspire women to rekindle the wishes they had when they were young and help them find the inspiration to make it all happen.

This necklace has 3 charms:

The Root.

Every dream takes root (is grounded) in our past experience and draws its strength from who we are. It is nourished by  our aspirations for something better and grows from there. The first element of this piece is the root/branch which symbolizes those first beginnings of the dreams we have held and do continue to hold.

The Dandelion.

The dandelion element symbolizes the desire to make the dream true – as we make a wish and blow. I still take dandelion seedlings and blow them into the wind, but some years ago, I must have just let go of the element of making a wish while doing it. This element of the piece takes the wish and blows it out into the wind where it multiplies. Think of all the seedlings in that dandelion.

The Honeycomb.

The honeycomb made by the hardworking bee symbolizes commitment and perseverance. The bee is known for its hard work and this little piece of honeycomb represents the idea that we do need to work at our dreams to make them real – then, just like the dedicated honeybee, we too can transform the mundane into the marvelous and make our dreams come true.

There’s another picture of this piece on someone’s hand so you can see the size. It falls perfectly on the chest. I took a couple pictures of it on me, but the lighting wasn’t great and I feel it just doesn’t do the piece justice. We’ve made this piece available for you to order, and I’m putting a personal guarantee on this one.

If you order the piece and you do not like it, just send it back and we’ll refund your money no questions asked. Honestly, I’ll buy it back! This piece was made with so much love and has been designed to take the wisdom of this entire event and capture it in a symbolic and artistically stunning piece of jewelry that you can keep with you as a constant reminder of all you’ve learned during WISH and as a reminder to you to live your dreams and persist in making them come true. As soon as you feel all the love that has gone into it, I know you’ll never want to take it off!

You can order this piece of jewelry here.

Part of the reason Joanna was willing to invest in this project is because she took a huge leap of faith in order to make it happen. She left the corporate world to pursue her dreams and now Red Sofa is how she engages fully in living her passion. We wanted to choose three women and highlight the work they do as an inspiration to all of us to live our dreams and pursue our passions.

We really hope you’ll support Joanna and get yourself this incredible gift. Just so you know, with all three of the women we’ll be featuring as part of this project, we will not be making a profit by promoting their work. All the money goes to the artist directly or is the cost of production and delivery.

On Money at the Women’s International Summit for Health

$Cha-ching!$

That’s the sound of your cash register raking in the kind of green stuff that has no chlorophyll!  Money is simply a form of exchange we’ve come up with to enable us to trade our goods and services with one another.

Having a lot of it is thought to enable us to have more “freedom“, and not having it is the biggest reason people do not pursue their dreams and passions. And none of the generalizations we could dare to make about money will hold water when you start listening to the calls we’ve got lined up for today! You’ll get some powerful tools for creating it, managing it, understanding it, manifesting more of it and improving your relationship with money in general.

These four dynamite women are a powerhouse of prosperity! Enjoy!

Ali Brown (Interviewed by Tera Warner) Okay, I admit it. Ali Brown knocked my socks off BIG TIME. There were a few pieces I took from this interview that truly rocketed my life forward in a big way. I stopped making compromises about the quality of professional  and personal company I keep. I stopped being so diversified and started being more focused. Ali got all choked up when I asked her what her wish for women was and it was a powerfully moving call with some totally practical tips for women building a business, making money or simply leading a powerful life.

Mary Manin Morrissey (Interviewed by Tera Warner) Magnificence. There’s no other word for it. Mary is SO well-informed, so completely quoatable at all times. I loved her stories and have been repeating them so many times to inspire other people around me since this call. Mary’s a spiritual guru, but we brought her in to talk about money because she’s mastered the art of removing limitations, and I happen to know a few people who have lingering limitations about money and wealth in their lives. Make room for abundance, Ladies. This call will help make it happen.

Morgana Rae (Interviewed by Shannon Leone) If you feel like you’re stuck in a sticky relationship with money, then this you don’t want to miss this call. These are not some esoteric “think your way rich” ideas Morgana is talking about. She digs deep and gets you to examine and redesign your relationship with money and wealth. Sometimes we think we need to work harder to have more money, when working “harder” can have exactly the opposite effect. Find out what your relationship with money is and how you can improve it to start living the life you want with the freedom of choice you deserve.

Mari Smith (Interviewed by Tera Warner) I had no idea how much fun I would have with Mari. She was so completely organized for her interview, that I almost expected it to be boring, but she totally surprised me with her answers. I really “get” what social media marketing is about now, and this call made it happen. I used to feel a bit overwhelmed by it all, and just not sure how to approach Facebook and Twitter, but Mari not only gives AMAZING tips for how to use it, she simplifies it and clarifies how to use it in a way that totally inspired my confidence! The world is changing and we all have a certain degree of responsibility to inform ourselves about what’s happening out there if we want to keep up and get our message out to the world in a powerful way.

“Zzzz…”

Regrettably, that’s the sound I was making while I fell asleep tucking in my daughter last night. Thanks for allowing me room to be the multitasking mama and WISH hostess that I am. It sure keeps things real.

Even if my little love note about the speakers comes late, I just want to remind you that the link is always the same. It never changes. Every evening at 8pm we upload the new speakers. I prefer getting my message to you on time, but in the event that the unforeseen hiccups of my life as a self-employed, multitasking single mother of two should cause delays, know that this will not interfere with your ability to access the information.

Abundant thoughts and scads of cash to you,

Tera and Shannon

P.S.

Remember we’d love to get your feedback on the health calls, too! Really helps us honor the people who contributed and improve things for next year:

It’s the Greenest Day of the Year

It’s St. Patrick’s Day, and after a day of soaking in the wisdom of our health leaders, it’s no accident that we start talking about the pot o’ gold: MONEY! How serendipitously perfect!( All those technical glitches in the beginning made things fall together perfectly after all.)

I’ve been dying to share some exciting news with you, but it’s been a busy week of juggling kids and calendars, and I usually end up falling asleep while tucking in the kids at night. (Perhaps you can relate? )

In Honor of the Luckiest Day of the Year, I Propose a Challenge!

If you listened to Dr. Ritamarie’s teleseminar in the health series, you know we discussed detox, the importance of cleansing and specifically the importance of including GREENS in your diet. Victoria Boutenko in her lecture sang the praises of green smoothies, too, and EVERYONE has been inspired and ecstatic about 71-year old Mimi Kirk whose raw food diet is keeping her looking younger than most 50 year olds I know.

The secret?

Greens!

Why just sit and listen to this stuff about greens, raw food and healthy living? Let’s put it into action and end this summit feeling better, looking younger and ready to take on life in a whole new way!!

If this was a live summit, I could serve you up special meals, but since we’re speckled all over the planet, I can simply invite you to join me in a simple, green smoothie challenge, and what better day to invite you to try this out than on the greenest, luckiest day of the whole year?!!

We have exactly THREE full days left of our WISH Summit, so let’s make this a 3-day green smoothie challenge! Here are a few resources you can turn to if you’d like some support for this adventure:

I have a FREE 3-day green smoothie challenge HERE where you can get recipes, nutritional info, and some basic support. If you’d like to step it up a notch and try the next level of green smoothie adventure, we have a 10-day green smoothie challenge for $10 in honor of  St. Patrick’s Day that you can check out here.

In the call with Dr. Ritamarie, she gives you access to a special gift where she’s got a lot of empowering information and nutritional resources about greens, too! You can still listen to that call until 8pm tonight. There’s also Victoria Boutenko’s books about green smoothies, which you can order for additional support and information.

So, the challenge has officially been launched!
What you choose to do with it is up to you!

I propose we follow the summit schedule. There are 3 days left of our official WISH Summit, so Thursday, Friday and Saturday will be your green smoothie days. You don’t have to eat ENTIRELY green smoothies if you’ve never done it before, but the more you do the better you’ll feel! Again you can check out the FREE 3-day program and 10-day green smoothie program if you have more questions or are new to green smoothies.

Now About Those Comments You’ve Been Sending Us

First of all, I wanted to let you know that I have been reading every single comment that has come in. I thank all of you for you positive feedback, and the contsructive criticism is welcome, too, so thank you. We’ve done our best to make these calls available for a significant period of time, but it is to be expected that lightning strike and other inevitable interferences pop up. (There are many summits that only leave a ONE HOUR WINDOW to listen to interviews, and we’re giving you 24-hours for each set.) While some have been saying we’re not giving enough time, others are managing to listen and prioritize things accordingly. I even received one email from someone who listened to one of the calls FIVE TIMES, because she was so insistent on getting everything she could from the call.

It would be impossible for us to accommodate EVERYONE’S circumstances and situation, but we do want you to finish with a win, so we’re not going to make just the sensuality calls available one more day, we’re going to make ALL the calls available for ONE LAST TIME for 24 hours *gulp* before we close up shop until next year with an all-new line-up of interviews.

We’ve Made Some Changes

Initially, we had our final category as a “Family” category, and I’d like to let you know that we’ve decided to pull that category. We will be moving the calls we had on that list to a bonus group, and you will have a chance to listen to them on the final day of the summit. As our summit was preparing to kick off, we were contacted by some incredible women and simply COULD NOT finish this summit without making absolutely sure these women voiced their message on our WISH stage. You’ll see that we now have a GRANDE FINALE performance set up, and I am very, very excited about these calls and what they will do to propel you into action and into creating a powerful, passionate, pleasure-filled life for yourself!

Women With Wishes

There’s one more very special thing we’ll be doing before our WISH Summit comes to a close. We’ll be featuring the work of three women who have worked hard to make their dreams come true, and who will be creating something special for participants of the WISH Summit. I would like to just be transparent here and say that no one at WISH will be making money from these endeavors. We would simply like to feature and celebrate the work of three inspiring women and include them as part of this event with us. I will start by showing off the first artist tomorrow! She’s hand-crafted an amazing piece of jewellry just for WISH and I’ve been wearing it for days! I am in love with it and can’t wait to share it with you! Stay tuned!

Health at the Women’s International Summit for Health

It’s all about health, guys and girls!

That’s the whole reason we’re here in the first place. We’ve been exploring a lot of different areas of our health (relationships, beauty, fitness, etc.) but tonight is reallly about your physical health issues and what you can do to improve them.

Did you listen to last night’s speakers?? I have had some great feedback so far and even get to do some bragging. People went crazy for Mimi Kirk’s interview and do you know *beaming with pride* that in one of her major interviews she attributed my 7-day raw food detox to being the program that kickstarted her enthusiasm and interest in healthier eating and the raw food diet!! How exciting is that!?!

I just came out of recording the “Grande Finale” fireworks presentation for our WISH Summit and it was MAGNIFICENT! I am SO excited to share this call with you. I have kids to tuck in and pepper with kisses, but I’ll be back a bit later with some surprises and some exciting news about what’s coming up in the next few days!

Give us your feedback on the beauty call here, and hunker down for a health session with tonight’s special guests:

Dr. Joe Mercola (Interviewed by Shannon Leone) Wth over 20 million visits a month, Dr. Mercola’s website is THE online natural health resource on the planet. In this interview with Shannon, she asks all the juicy questions about the most common ailments out there and what to do about it.
This call will be made available for FREE after the summit has ended, so if you’re crunched for time, might want to take a peek at…

Dr. Ritamarie Loscalzo (Interviewed by Tera Warner) Since spring is just about here, we decided that it would be a great idea to focus on the kinds of simple things women can do to prepare themselves for a gentle detox. Dr. Ritamarie works with women all over the world who resolve everything from hormone issues, cancer, candida, brain-fog, fatigue, YOU NAME IT, just by making some simple dietary changes and simplifying their diets. This call gives you some practical to dos aaaand I have more to say about it a bit later. Going to make a special announcement/invitation to WISH participants for the remainder of our program together.

David Avocado Wolfe (Interviewed by Shannon Leone) Those of us familiar with the “Raw Food Movement” have seen this face and name a few times, but David is developing an international recognition for his revolutionary approach to eating! It’s not just about how long you’ll live, but the quality of your life and the impact your choices have on the generations to come. It’s not just about “surviving” it’s about thriving and feeling your health potential take new heights.

Susun Weed (Interviewed by Shannon Leone) I think the only book I referred to regularly during my pregnancy was Susun’s book “The Wise Woman Herbal for the Childbearing Years”. Being able to have this goddess of ancient wisdom as a part of our WISH summit is an honor. Know that by listening to this call, you’re connecting with the inherent, natural, powerful, intuitive wisdom of women. You’ll feel like you’re hearing things you “knew” inherently, but just needed reminding about. Tune into YOUR wisdom with Susun’s help and experience.

Enjoy this evening’s presentations! I’m off to smooch my little ones and will be back with more updates soon.

Happy, healthy and having a great time,

Tera and Shannon
