			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Like me, you&#8217;ll be reviewing your achievements of 2011.  It&#8217;s so important to look back at them, revisit and enjoy the memories, to celebrate them and to take the learnings of the year.  What are you most proud of, what&#8217;s the icing on the top of the cake for you?  What could you have done differently?  What have you gained?  What or who have you let go of?  What was your biggest learning about yourself?  Who were the key players this year who made a significant impact on you?</p>
<p>As I reflect back I remember that by the end of 2010 was beginning to feel uneasy.  I was continuing to work hard and yet the<a href="http://alisoleil.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Ali-Soleil.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-987" title="Ali Soleil" src="http://alisoleil.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Ali-Soleil-200x300.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="300" /></a> results were not showing up in my business fast enough.  I had some full workshops and 1:1 clients although I wondered if I needed to find a &#8216;proper&#8217; job (perhaps return to my recruitment industry roots) and yet I really didn&#8217;t want to.  My calling to serve women, to support them in their greatness was so strong.  I knew that I had to keep focused, not allow fear to take over take what I am here to do.</p>
<p>I have invested so much in my own learning since 2004 with mentors, coaches, seminars, conferences, bootcamps as well as books, audios and training dvds.  What was slowing me down was that <em>some</em> of what I&#8217;d learned conflicted greatly with my own authenticity and it was on my mind so much of the time.  My thoughts were affecting my progress.  Have you ever felt that?  It was like pushing away from the side of the swimming pool as I decided to break away from what did not fit with my own values and to step further into my own truth.  Choosing to love and let go of the people who I was not in alignment with and instead be true to myself, honour my clients authentically. This move felt bold, empowering yet scary at the same time!  Having said this, I was so grateful for all the learnings and experience as it supported me to gain clarity on my own values, my purpose, who my clients are and how I can honour and support them to step into their greatness.  Does this resonate with you?</p>
<p>It was time to step up big and take the empowering practices that I&#8217;d learned and integrate them in with my intentions!  One of my dreams for some years was to set up a self development group for women and I decided to stop procrastinating and take a giant leap out of my comfort zone.  At the beginning of March, I launched a self development group for women in High Wycombe called <a title="Fab Friends Network" href="http://www.fabfriendsnetwork.com">Fab Friends Network</a>.  Some wonderful women joined my membership group and began making great changes in their lives.  I was asked to appear on another local radio station and many speaking bookings came flowing my way.  Creating videos raised my visibility and pushed me further out of my comfort zone.  More clients connected with me &#8211; my authentic self, and knew I could support them to get great results.  I chose not to become distracted from my path and launched a VIP Group for 5 women in September, who I work with at a higher level, this group is called the Butterfly Circle and we meet each month for a day of learning, sharing and mentoring.   And a second Fab Friends Network group was launched in Basingstoke, Hampshire in October.  It was very exciting to have two new websites built <a href="http://www.alisoleil.com">www.alisoleil.com</a> and <a href="http://www.fabfriendsnetwork.com">www.fabfriendsnetwork.com</a>.  The year unfolded beautifully with happiness, integrity and life lessons of trusting, surrendering, self belief and focus.</p>
<p>My clients have inspired and delighted me with their transformations, decisions, dreams and support. They have made such tremendous progress, I feel privileged to work with every single beautiful soul.  I&#8217;ve also met some hugely inspiring women mentors this year who have taught me so much and guided me to make authentic decisions in my business &#8211; and life.  I&#8217;ve been fortunate to attend some eye and heart opening workshops and talks in London with inspiring speakers such as Byron Katie, Sonia Choquette and Dr Michael Beckwith.  <a href="http://alisoleil.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/1With-Michael-Beckwith-Oct-2011.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-988 alignleft" title="1With Michael Beckwith Oct 2011" src="http://alisoleil.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/1With-Michael-Beckwith-Oct-2011-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a> I also met my partner Andrew who has been a very important person in my life this year.  He has been so fantastic at loving me whilst allowing me to focus on my business.  Supporting and listening to me when I&#8217;ve been unsure of my challenging leaps, reassuring me and putting up with me when I&#8217;ve been a bit stressy!  Both my daughters have supported me at home and in my business, Becky has attended every Fab Friends meeting this year &#8211; which has been so helpful to me and a great learning for her!</p>
<p>It certainly has been a year of  huge leaps of faith, some big shifts in my thinking and most of all walking my talk.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve learned that it&#8217;s so important to surround myself with a supportive peer group who encourage me to be the best I can be &#8211; to be authentic, to believe in myself, to ask for help, not to compare myself with others, keep on my path and not be persuaded off it or distracted by the &#8216;rocks&#8217; in the road.  And above all to feel happy <img src='http://alisoleil.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />    Hanging in there, keeping motivated &#8211; believing in myself and my &#8216;gifts&#8217; has really changed my circumstances enormously, the snowball is rolling and I&#8217;m in such a different place to where I began the year.  I start 2012 full of excitement and can&#8217;t wait to allow it all to unfold, surprise and delight me.</p>
<p>I would love to hear about your year, what you&#8217;ve faced and overcome.  What learnings you&#8217;ve taken and of the joys and delights that have been the icing on the cake for you!  And if you&#8217;d like some support to make your 2012 your best year ever, send me an email ali@alisoleil.com and we can have an informal chat to see how we can work together and make that happen, it will be my privilege.</p>
<p>Have a great New Year!</p>
<p>Love and celebrations</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: left;">As you know, I&#8217;m the founder of Fab Friends Network a self development group for women just like you.  In November, I was delighted to introduce the very gorgeous Diane MacDowall as our speaker.  Di is an insightful and sparkling relationship coach &#8211; not only the relationship you share with your partner, but the relationship you have with yourself.  Our morning was full of aha moments and top tips &#8211; and for me, quite life changing.   There was so much interest that Diane and her partner Andy Nicholson are going to be running one day workshop &#8211; which I know will be off the scale!  Want to know more&#8230; keep reading</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Relationship Dynamics and Understanding the Male Mind<br />
A One Day Workshop for Women</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">With Andy Nicholson and Diane MacDowall<br />
<strong>Sunday 8th January 2012<br />
9.30am – 4.30pm<br />
<a href="http://www.rosecrowninn.co.uk/" target="_blank">Rose and Crown Hotel</a>, Saunderton, near High Wycombe</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Being run in conjunction with Ali Soleil of</strong> <strong><a href="http://www.fabfriendsnetwork.com/" target="_blank">Fab Friends Network</a></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">This is a one day workshop for women about relationship dynamics, polarity, masculine and feminine energy and how to understand and communicate effectively with men.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://dianemacdowall.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/Picture2.png"><img class="aligncenter" title="Picture2" src="http://dianemacdowall.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/Picture2.png" alt="" width="267" height="189" /></a>You will discover how to handle your man in a way that melts his heart, and you don’t have to be in a relationship to experience the incredible benefits of this. If you’re currently single, this philosophy will apply to the very next man you date. This is not about controlling or manipulating men, instead, it’s about handling them in a way they adore… there’s a world of difference. One attracts and the other repels.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">You will gain insights into how men operate;  how they think, communicate and love, and what they need from a relationship. You will discover how to step into his mind when you speak with him, and communicate in ways that will move him.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">A man loves doing things for the lady in his life; this is part of his nature – he is a solution finder. However, there is an art in knowing how to ask, receive and appreciate. Every man has a positive and negative side, just as every woman does, yet women often expect the best from their man without realising the immense part they play how he shows up.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Andy will explain the male perspective; what it means to be a man, how men love to be communicated with, flirted with, handled, and even how best to communicate when anger needs to be released so that they actually listen, rather than disappearing into their cave. He will be happy to answer any questions you may have on the day.</p>
<p><a href="http://dianemacdowall.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Old-Couple.jpg"><img class="alignleft" title="Old Couple" src="http://dianemacdowall.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Old-Couple-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="268" height="178" /></a>The insights and tools provided on this course will broaden your awareness immensely, helping you understand how you create the relationships around you. You will understand why feminine vulnerability is so attractive when it comes from a place of courage, rather than fear or shame… and why truly ‘vulnerable’ is something a woman can only become when she is at her most loving and strong.</p>
<p>We will share remarkable insights into the dynamics of intimate relationships, including how powerful perception and projection are in your relationships with your partner, family, friends and children. A woman has immense power to positively change the energy in all these relationships<em></em>.</p>
<p>This workshop will be interactive, intensive, insightful, fun, challenging and supportive. It will be extremely enlightening, offering comprehensive and life-long tools to help you embrace a new and expansive perception on life, men and relationships.</p>
<p>Feedback from previous attendees:</p>
<p><strong><em>“An excellent day. I learnt so much about myself and others and would highly recommend it!.”</em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em>“Although not in a relationship, I can now see why previous ones have failed. I feel ‘armed and ready’ to go into the next one. Learnt a great deal about myself – who I am and who I want to be with. It is good to see a couple like Di and Andy who don’t just ‘talk the talk’ but ‘walk ther walk’ too!  A fantastic day!”</em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em> ”Di and Andy are a hope and inspiration to all! Love is out there but it is a case of being more aware of the choices you make. I found out so much about myself and my past experiences that it has helped me to see where I am going and where I want to be.  One of the most important lessons from today – Love yourself first!!  A totally awesome day from start to finish. I feel that I have grown emotionally so much and started a journey to a better life full of meaningful relationships.”</em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em>“Highly recommended!! 15/10″</em></strong></p>
<p><strong>The price of the full day workshop is £87</strong></p>
<p>Lunch will not be provided on the day, so we suggest that you bring along a packed lunch or purchase lunch at the <strong>Rose and Crown, Wycombe Road, Saunderton, near High Wycombe HP27 9NP</strong>. Refreshments and a full workbook will be provided.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p id="post-125">Here we are almost at the start of 2012 – the beginning of a new year of success, adventure and possibility!</p>
<p><a href="http://alisoleil.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Fotolia_7454746_XS1-2.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-994" title="Pretty young woman with arms raised" src="http://alisoleil.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Fotolia_7454746_XS1-2.jpg" alt="" width="272" height="235" /></a></p>
<div>
<p>Many people begin to plan in January for their year ahead – holidays, new car, new home and house extensions and I wonder how many people give the same amount of time to planning their life?</p>
<p>Looking at glossy holiday brochures is wonderful, you can escape the cold and rain and imagine being on a beach for a week or two,  feeling free and relaxed but I wonder if you ever spend time the same amount of time or more imagining your life and really planning what you want to achieve, how you want to grow as a person.   Life is a journey – do you want to be the driver or the passenger?  Do you want to choose an interesting, scenic and exciting route or leave it to chance and have a snooze in the back?</p>
<p>Often we make short term plans – fun interruptions in our lives; we dot in the holidays and the things that give us excitement or something to look forward to – but how would it be if we made a decision to plan a bit further ahead?  Rather than life developing and us existing, we can choose to make things happen the way we design them instead of leaving it all up to chance?</p>
<p>This is your life.  You want the best for your family and friends – why not for yourself?</p>
<p><strong>How to set your Intentions and Personal Promises for 2012</strong></p>
<p>1<sup>st</sup> Step</p>
<p>Choose a time when you are feeling peaceful, relaxed.  Free of interruption.  Get yourself in a positive state, open to possibilities.  Write a list of things of what you are proud to have achieved during 2011.  List them down and quietly reflect on them.  Feel the feelings of achievement bubbling up and allow yourself to celebrate every success, big or small!</p>
<p>2<sup>nd</sup> Step</p>
<p>What did you do during 2011 that was the ‘icing on the cake?’  Make a list.  What gave you your greatest sense of joy?  Who was there?  What happened?  How did it make you feel?  What photographs do you treasure of those moments?  Go and have a look at them… and relive the feelings, sounds and sights…</p>
<p>3<sup>rd</sup> Step</p>
<p>Think about the areas in your life that are important – list them down eg career, environment, personal development, fun &amp; recreation, relationship with friends/family, significant other, spirituality etc.  Consider where you are with each right now, today.  Give each one a score out of 10, with 1 being low and 10 being high.  How would you score your satisfaction with each area?</p>
<p>4<sup>th</sup> Step</p>
<p>Think about how you would like to change each area – what would make it a 10?  What would ‘10’ be like for you?  How would it feel?  Close your eyes if it helps… imagine, dream… design… paint a picture in your imagination of how you’re choose to change things.  Imagine if Aladdin’s genie gave you 3 wishes… how would you use them to change your life?  What if you had more than 3 wishes, how would you use them?  Drift into your imagination, what can you hear, what can you smell, taste?  Who is there?  What are they doing?  How bright is the picture?  Turn up the colour… adjust the volume so it’s right.  What difference would it make to your life?  How would it affect your relationships?</p>
<p>5<sup>th</sup> Step</p>
<p>Put the list in an order of priority.  Which area of your life needs action most urgently?  When would you like to have this achieved by?  Set dates for the other areas, being realistic – but being true to you.</p>
<p>6<sup>th</sup> Step</p>
<p>What is the first step to achieving your intentions and personal promises?  Who can help you?  What resources do you need?  Where can you get these?  What additional learning do you need?  Where can you find out about this?  When are you going to begin?  How important is this intention?</p>
<p>7<sup>th</sup> Step</p>
<p>Why are you doing this?  What is motivating you? If you do not have a big enough reason ‘why,’ you will find yourself falling off the wagon… like many new year resolutions people make, it will be overlooked and your life will be left to chance once more.  How do you want to feel when you look back in 10 years and remember the dreams you once had, that you didn’t ‘bother’ to achieve?  Decide how important this is to you, your family &#8211; choose to make it a priority in your life.</p>
<p>8<sup>th</sup> Step</p>
<p>Who will you share your intentions with?  Be careful here.  I have found that if we are too free with our excitement about how we’re designing our lives – others do not always support us and try to prick our bubble.  Sometimes, friends and family like life to be the way it is and that’s that.  They do not want anything to change.  It can be that they do not want to see us start something and then fail.  If they love us they will want to protect us.  Others may think it’s best for us to take a more conventional route or do things the way they did.  Each person is a unique individual with their own set of life situations and challenges.  If we listen to and take on board negative comments of others, we’re bound to struggle to achieve our intentions.  We must have belief in ourselves, determination and adopt a success strategy that works for us.  We must be clear about why we’re doing this and what the outcome will be.  Share your intentions with people who will support you, encourage you and be inspired by you.  Keep focusing on the ‘why’ and the positive outcome.  Deciding to have a coach can be crucial to your success – a coach will keep you on track, will believe in you and will encourage you to dig deep to find the solutions to your action steps.  It is a powerful union.</p>
<p>9<sup>th</sup> Step</p>
<p>What will you do to remind yourself daily of your intentions and your commitment to yourself?  Some clients of mine choose to write themselves a statement which they keep in their wallet or handbag which they look at each day.  It could be something such as:</p>
<p>“It is 3<sup>rd</sup> January 2013 and I am sitting on my porch of my dream French house with my loving partner, watching the sun setting over the mountains.  We are sipping champagne and planning our next holiday together.  We feel healthy, safe and secure.  I live in abundance of all good things and my life is perfect.”</p>
<p>It is important that this statement is personal, set in the future with a date and conjures up the feeling you will have once you are living the life you’ve designed.</p>
<p>Some of my clients choose to design a ‘dream board’ which is board covered with cut out pictures of how their life is going to be, what they will have, what they will be doing or what’s important to them.  Also words that inspire them to dream big and take action.  They will look at the board every morning and every night – looking at the pictures and choose to imagine the feelings of having those things now.  This is an incredibly powerful way of speeding up the intention process – ideas will come to you during the night as your mind continues to dream while you’re asleep – you will wake up often with new ideas of how you will make this intention your reality.</p>
<p>10<sup>th</sup> Step</p>
<p>Each month, ideally on the first week day or weekend look at your intention list.  Look at what you’ve achieved.  Praise yourself and celebrate.  Feel good about how you’ve moved forward.  The changes you can see now, the way this makes you feel.  How your positive actions are affecting your state of mind.  Decided what the next step will be to getting to your intention.  What you need to do, who you need to speak to and put a date on the action – when will this be achieved by?</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Intention/Personal Promise Summary</strong></p>
<p>Okay, so imagine… In ten years time, how would you like to be living?  If you were to look back at this decade what would you like to be able to say you’d achieved, ticked off your dream list or experienced?   You’ll be ten years older… go on, you can do the maths.  I heard something recently that really got me thinking – he said, imagine you’re about to meet your maker – you’re standing at the gates of heaven and the angel says to you “Wow, I’ve heard about the Great Wall of China, the pyramids of Egypt, Hanging Gardens of Babylon, Stonehenge, Grand Canyon! Wow what are they like?” and you turn to him and say “Oh I don’t know, I never went there… but I can tell you what happened on EastEnders last week!”</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s make 2012 not just a New Year but a Fantastic New Year!  A year where you make some positive shifts, feel fulfilled, and achieve the success (whatever that means to you) that you&#8217;ve always wanted.</p>
<p>I will have only one new opening for a new one to one mentoring/coaching client in January 2012l  Are you feeling ready to take some massive action and make 2012 your BEST year so far?  Send me an email to ali@alisoleil.com and let&#8217;s have an informal chat about how you can have your best year yet!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>November was a very busy month for me, how about you?  Sometimes when we realise that we&#8217;ve been working too hard, it&#8217;s too late &#8211; we&#8217;re already depleted of energy, feeling drained.   It&#8217;s like the red warning light on the fuel gauge has been on for too long in your car and you know you&#8217;re running on vapours.  The offer of a long weekend in the South of France was a blessing<a href="http://alisoleil.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/IMG618.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1036" title="IMG618" src="http://alisoleil.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/IMG618-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a> although I wondered if I really had time to be away.  Does that sound too familiar?   There are always reasons <em>not</em> to do go away &#8211; lack of time, money, work (except I love what I do!) and all the other things to &#8216;do&#8217;, not to mention the Christmas shopping&#8230;.  One of my friends booked her ticket to stay with our friend Julia and asked when I was going to book mine&#8230;. mmm&#8230;. a gentle reminder, it&#8217;s time.</p>
<p>As women, traditionally we tend to put our own needs last and a gentle reminder is welcome when we forget.   So I booked my ticket a return flight to the South of France for £39!  Bargain!   And at the start of December, my coaching friend Hilary and I set off to meet our friend Julia who owns a Chateau Ventenac and our long weekend began.  We left the cold, rain and drizzle at Luton Airport for the sunnier, more carefree climes of Beziers Airport one hour and 20 minutes away!</p>
<p>Isn&#8217;t it amazing how we can be running at 100 miles an hour and have a gazillion things to &#8216;do&#8217; urgently and yet when the distance separates us from the &#8216;stuff&#8217; to do, we can feel distance from the stresses?  Maybe that&#8217;s just me?   I could literally feel the pressures and stresses melt off me, and fall away.  I began to relax, slow down,<a href="http://alisoleil.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/IMG606.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1042 alignright" title="IMG606" src="http://alisoleil.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/IMG606-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a> and went from &#8216;doing&#8217; to &#8216;being&#8217; very quickly.  Sitting on Julia&#8217;s terrace without a coat in December, gazing across the Canal du Midi, across the miles and miles of vineyards and nestling on the horizon the Pyrannes mountains sat amongst the fluffy clouds.  It was purrrrrfect!  I couldn&#8217;t have felt more at home, more relaxed and more at peace&#8230; heaven.</p>
<p>When was the last time you really stopped what you were doing and took some &#8216;me time&#8217;?  Stopped what you were doing and went somewhere different?  Even though you felt under pressure, chose to chill out?  Being with my two good friends gave me the chance to unwind, catch up on their news and share some of my news too.  We laughed, dreamed, wandered, contributed, sat by a crackling open fire and even watched X Factor with a glass of something red and giggly!</p>
<p>Since being back, I&#8217;ve been more productive, had more fun, slept better and it feels like I&#8217;ve been on a long holiday!  It is truly wonderful.  So a few days out really can make a huge difference&#8230; When are you going to give yourself some time out?  Do it!  Go on!   Whilst I was at Chateau Ventenac I reflected on 2011 and made some decisions about 2012.  Have you begun considering what you&#8217;d like to achieve in 2012?  Exciting isn&#8217;t it?</p>
<p>Whilst I was away, I really wished I could share the gorgeous landscape, the beautiful chateau and the time out with my wonderful clients, I know that you too could do with some time to recharge and reflect.  So, I mentioned this to Julia who runs her Chateau as a retreat/workshop business, if I could book a week in October 2012 &#8211; and guess what?  It&#8217;s happening!  I can&#8217;t wait to share more about this with you and I&#8217;ll be posting some information about it on this website soon, so keep checking back! <img src='http://alisoleil.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />   It would be great to share this time with you, making some life transformations and relaxing too.  If you&#8217;d like to see more of Chateau Ventenac please stop by Julia&#8217;s website <a title="Click Here" href="http://www.chateauventenac.com/">http://www.chateauventenac.com</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When opportunity knocks on your door &#8211; what happens for you?</p>
<p>If it&#8217;s something you&#8217;ve been wanting, you may feel an urge to &#8220;woohoo!&#8221; I know I do!</p>
<p>But what if it&#8217;s an opportunity that feels so fantastic it feels beyond your reach?  What happens then?  When you feel the stretch, do you feel butterflies stirring in your stomach?  The dreaded inner gremlin telling you, you don&#8217;t deserve?  A sense of mixed emotion like a tug of war &#8211; of wanting but not wanting to fail?   To look stupid or to make a mistake?</p>
<p>Sometimes that old feeling of not feeling quite good enough, or not deserving enough can creep into your thinking and you have to stop in your tracks and ask yourself what is really going on.  Do you do that too?  Sometimes it maybe money; the opportunity is there but money isn&#8217;t?  You attract what you focus on &#8211; not having enough, means you stay in lack.  When you step up and show up &#8211; you grow.  When you embrace opportunity, more opportunities show up and this often includes the money you desire and so on.  &#8221;If you always do what you&#8217;ve always done, you&#8217;ll get what you&#8217;ve always got.&#8221;</p>
<p>What is fear anyway?  A negative emotion, False Evidence Appearing Real?  How real is it?  What I know is, that often it skips along in our minds with the inner gremlin.  It keeps you small, keeps you shrinking, fitting in, and dabbling around the edges of your greatness.</p>
<p>You are here to Shine, to Stand Out, Embrace Life, Make a Difference and Grow!  <a href="http://alisoleil.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Fotolia_7454746_XS1-2.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-994" title="Pretty young woman with arms raised" src="http://alisoleil.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Fotolia_7454746_XS1-2.jpg" alt="" width="272" height="235" /></a></p>
<p>Does it make you shut out the opportunity?  Or welcome it with open arms?</p>
<p>So, who would you or I be without fear?  How much more could you achieve? How much more could you become?  Enjoy?  Share?  What could taking the the big leap mean to you?  What if you didn&#8217;t fail but spectacularly rose to the top?  When we focus on what we want &#8211; or what we don&#8217;t want, we get it &#8211; so when opportunity strikes, grab it, go for it, celebrate it and GROW!</p>
<p>2011 has been a massive year of growth personally for me, how about you?   This year, I&#8217;ve been leaping out of my comfort zone, stepping up and achieving so many of my own desires and dreams.  I&#8217;ve also had my fair share of knock backs too and I&#8217;ve got back up again and brushed myself down. Those lessons have been hugely valuable for me, lessons to do things differently so I&#8217;ll get different results next time. Now, when I feel the butterflies of fear creeping in when I&#8217;m presented with an opportunity, I remind myself this is just excitement and go for it!  There is nothing to lose and everything to gain.   You&#8217;re worth it, right?  Make this lifetime the BEST it can be! <img src='http://alisoleil.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />   Why wouldn&#8217;t you?</p>
<p>Love and sunshine</p>
<p>Ali xx</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Have you met a hero?  Someone who you just know will blow your socks off?  I was thrilled to see that Dr Michael Beckwith (famed by The Secret) was coming to London and quickly bought a ticket earlier this year.  Michael is such a heart centred man and I knew this was going to be a special meeting. <a href="http://alisoleil.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/1With-Michael-Beckwith-Oct-2011.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-988" title="1With Michael Beckwith Oct 2011" src="http://alisoleil.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/1With-Michael-Beckwith-Oct-2011-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p>The thing was&#8230; I ended up being just over an hour late!  I know!  Can you believe it?  I used the wrong Sunday time table and arrived as my train pulled out of the station.  I drove to another station and the same thing happened&#8230; and had a 30 minute wait &#8211; for the slow train&#8230; uggghhh&#8230; Sometimes you wonder if you&#8217;re meant to get somewhere don&#8217;t you?  I felt exhausted too after a crazy busy week and now wasn&#8217;t feeling too relaxed.  I called my friend who was already there and said &#8211; &#8220;hmm&#8230; I&#8217;m thinking somethings telling me not to come?&#8221;  All she had to say was &#8221;It&#8217;s a test to see how much you really want to be here!&#8221;  Nice reframe Darryl! </p>
<p>I waited, caught my train to London, got to the venue and luckily took my place on the front row, whilst Michael sat on stage with his eyes closed as his beautiful wife Rickie, sang an empowering song at the grand piano. </p>
<p>It really was one of the best days ever and I was so glad that I made it in the end &#8211; and to have my photo taken with Michael Beckwith along with my friends was such fun.  If you were in my shoes, what would you have done?  Would you have done what it took to get there &#8211; or would you have gone home?  It was a great lesson for me and one I&#8217;ll remember (and I&#8217;ll be more careful with the train time table too!).  </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I hope you’ve all had a great weekend!  I’ve been celebrating my younger daughter&#8217;s 18<sup>th</sup> birthday which was yesterday.</p>
<p>Isn’t it amazing just how quickly time can fly.  It seems only yesterday she was proudly wearing my lipstick smeared all over her face toddling around in a pair of my shoes and a cheeky grin.  Actually somethings don’t change <img src='http://alisoleil.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' />  Shhh&#8230; don’t tell her I said that!  And what does strike me is just how quickly time flies – you can’t stop the clock&#8230; can you?</p>
<p>It’s time now to grab life and make it happen.  To keep moving forward loving life, doing what makes you feel good, making empowering decisions that support you to be the best You that You can be.</p>
<p><a href="http://alisoleil.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Anna.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-968" title="Anna" src="http://alisoleil.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Anna-300x232.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="232" /></a>   <a href="http://alisoleil.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Anna-and-butterfly.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-969" title="Anna and butterfly" src="http://alisoleil.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Anna-and-butterfly-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" /></a></p>

<p>I&#8217;ve a quick update to share with you.</p>
<p>I remember that for many, many years, I found myself feeling I was in the &#8216;wrong&#8217; job.  One friend even described me as a pinball machine!  Always trying new things and always seeking something that make my heart sing.  Have you ever felt like that?  Something always told me that I was happiest when I was working with women, empowering them to step up and go for it (I spent years in the recruitment industry)!</p>
<p>Now, I know as a womens life coach and mentor, nothing gives me a greater feeling than witnessing my clients own transformations; it&#8217;s just the best feeling and I feel so privilaged to work with my clients.  If you&#8217;re still struggling to find your &#8216;thing&#8217; let me know, I maybe able to support you with that!</p>
<p>As with all things creative, my business is organic, it&#8217;s taking it&#8217;s own shape.  I want to let you know that I&#8217;ve chosen to drop the Daring Damsels branding and use my own name.  So my website will reflect this soon!  And Fab Friends Network will have it&#8217;s own unique site &#8211; and I can&#8217;t wait to share that with you!  Both will be launched very soon.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://localhost:8888/alisoleil/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Fab-Friends-Network-Logo1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-883" title="Fab Friends Network Logo" src="http://localhost:8888/alisoleil/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Fab-Friends-Network-Logo-284x300.jpg" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>My vision a few years ago was to create a worldwide supportive network for women and I&#8217;m so excited that new Fab Friends Network groups will be opening early next year around the UK &#8211; reaching more ladies who want to feel more fabulous, who want more from life, who are ready to ignite their passions and belong to a peer group of supportive women who will encourage them to step up and go for it!</p>
<p>As you know, High Wycombe Fab Friends group, is soon to have a sister group Basingstoke Fab Friends, based in Sherfield on Loddon which launches this week &#8211; on Thursday 13th in the evening!  If your name isn&#8217;t on the guest list and would like to come along, there are still a few free places &#8211; just email me.
