“As you move forward


As I admire the photo of Louise Hay on the cover of this month’s Aspire magazine, I am awestruck at the syn- chronicities that have impacted my life and led me to enormous personal blessings.


Louise Hay, one of the world’s most enlightened women, is my publisher, mentor, friend, and partner in two separate businesses—Haylo Health and The SWAT Institute. But none of this would have happened had I not aspired to my own greatness, inspired by hers.


To aspire is probably one of the most important gifts you can give to yourself and to the world. Aspiration is the juice that powers our internal battery—giving us drive, desire, hope, excitement, and staying-power for our future.


Many years ago I aspired to be like Louise Hay: A woman with gentle strength and humble confidence, who showed others that self love was the greatest aide to mankind— in every and all situations. Louise inspired me to become the woman I was always meant to be.


She didn’t do it by taking me person- ally under her wing and teaching me everything she knew. I was a small- town Canadian girl who’d never met anyone famous—including Louise Hay.


Instead, Louise emulated to millions that no matter who you are, where you come from, or even how old (or young) you may be, if you change the way you think and aspire to love and believe in yourself, you can cre- ate a life of joy, purpose, passion, and prosperity. You can be anyone you choose to be.


Now, some eight years after first meeting Louise Hay and being signed to Hay House Publishing, I spend my days (and often my nights as well) inspiring others—mostly women. (It’s all about sharing what you’ve learned; passing along the torch.)


I’ve dedicated my life to helping women undo years of negative think- ing and cruel and disparaging affirma- tions and actions; showing first-hand how to let go of a (globally-perva- sive) victim-mentality, where far too many of us are waiting for someone to notice how wonderful, good, and/or talented we are.

I actually had one of my client’s recently ask: “How can I still remain both a victim and be empowered? I mean, aren’t victims the compassion- ate, kind people of the world?”


I was speechless.


I quickly grabbed my dictionary and read the definition of victim to her: vic·tim –noun


a person who suffers from a destruc- tive or injurious action or agency: a victim of an automobile accident.


A person who is deceived or cheat- ed, as by his or her own emotions or ignorance, by the dishonesty of oth- ers, or by some impersonal agency: a victim of misplaced confidence; the victim of a swindler; a victim of an optical illusion.


a person or animal sacrificed or re- garded as sacrificed: war victims.
