who am I? 

why am I here? 

why are things moving so SLOWLY? 

Do any of those questions ever run through your mind?

 if you said "YES!" you are not alone! 

 This New Moon period we are in until Dec. 10 is all about the BIG QUESTIONS. On top of that we are in Mercury Retrograde, a period energetically when things move SLOWER, there can be DELAYS in communication/ travel or BREAKDOWNS (emotional, electrical, etc). Intense is an understatement and PATIENCE is the name of the game for the next two weeks or so! 

Have you experienced any of the above?

Click on the video below for a funny, true story I experienced on Friday about delays and technical snafus that turned out to be a blessing in disguise!

ALERT: You get to see my snazzy new hair cut! :)

The LESSON: 
 Delays and Breakdowns are sometimes Spirit's way of slowing us down... So we can re-consider, re-create and RE-member who we are. Spirits having a human experience. 


So the next time your cell phone acts up, someone cuts you off in traffic or you feel your patience slipping, remember to take a breath and ask:

 "What I meant to see here?" 

 Even if nothing comes right away, by simply asking the question, you have the potential to calm your energy, see it from a new perspective and reap the power of the present moment. <3 


------------------------------------------------------------------ 
Take Action: 
1) Do you have a funny or memorable Mercury Retrograde story? 

 2) Do you have any suggestions on how to deal with delays, miscommunications OR a tip/book that has helped YOU stay centered during so much change?

3)  POST your insights here: http://www.TheDancingGoddess.com 

 Let's help each other out! This period can be super insightful or super frustrating. I choose the first one! How about you?

How to Make the Most of the New Moon Cycle:
6 Principles of Gratitude...Goddess-style!

1. Gratitude is feeling full in Spirit even when you have been stripped of a relationship, money or anything material.

2. Gratitude is knowing that you are strong even when your heart has been ripped open,"operated" on, healed and ripped open yet again.

3. Gratitude is loving yourself enough to say NO until you can say YES with a full resounding heart.

4. Gratitude is embracing both the Light and the Shadow within you and others.

5. Gratitude is taking nothing and no one for granted. 

6. Gratitude is trusting that Spirit will gladly take over when you finally decide to stop doing it all yourself!

A few years ago, when I was just moving to San Francisco, I was invited to be a featured extra on the set of the movie, "Pursuit of Happy-ness" starring Will Smith. 
I was there for 4 days and the wisdom I gained during that time can be summed up in the video below. Disclaimer: Feel free to laugh at my fun hat :) 

What's in this video:
1. 2 tips from Will Smith that apply to developing your intuition and pretty much every area of your life.
2. An invitation for you this week 
3. Lots of Diana Love.

After you watch it:
If you enjoyed it, please post a comment, share, Like on FB, Tweet-let's spread the wisdom around. Especially post 11-11-11, it's all about love, community and connection. You never know who may need to hear exactly what you have to share.

MWAH!

11:11 has been called a Gate-Way, A Portal to the New and many other things.
Below is a channeled message I received post-Sedona from a Native American guide. I will expand on the message on my radio show tonight (10pm EDT) so please tune in if you want more. 

What are your dreams?

What is that ONE thing that you keep saying you want to do but haven't?

Maybe it's to write your first book.

Or to run your first marathon (I'll cheer you on!)

Or to start your own side business doing what you REALLY want to do.

Whatever it is, there's one thing I know for sure-that to succeed, you have to get past the "10" period to get anywhere.

The "10" secret
I'm talking about the first 10 minutes before you actually start taking action towards your dream. It's that 10 minute window where you can let your screaming fear thoughts stop you with all your whiny, logical, rational justifications for why you CAN'T start. Or it's that 10 minute window where you can say, "Thanks for playing Ego, but I'm DOING THIS with both eyes open, heart open and full speed 100%."

Goddess Confession: 
I used to run track in high school and no matter how much I had trained or how much my coach reassured me that I was awesome, the first 10 minutes before I hit the starting line were BRUTAL. I would come up with ridiculous things like, "Coach, I think I might throw up!" (He said..okay, so do it.) I'd say, "I think I have to pee. What if I don't make it back in time?" (He said, just go pee while you're running.) (Gross....I never did that but you get the gist right?) My mind came up with EVERY REASON under the sun as to why I couldn't just freakin get to the starting line!

But here's the thing: 
You only get 10 minutes to battle it out or surrender to your dream. Anything past that and the Ego usually wins out and then you are back in the comfortably numb place where you started. Back to the excuses. Back to the "wouldn't it be cool if..." thoughts where NOTHING CHANGES.


Goddess Tough Love
And if it DOES take you more than 10 minutes to rationalize getting started on your dream, I am going to challenge you with this possibility:

Maybe you just don't want it THAT bad. 

(It's better to know NOW and start forming a new dream around something that REALLY makes your Soul Sing!)

What Getting Started Means
I'm not asking you to write an entire book proposal in 10 minutes.
But, could you write a page or brainstorm an outline?
I'm not asking you to go to the gym for 5 hours and expecting you to run 26.5 miles tomorrow.
But, could you get a calendar and mark off specific days you're going to work out to get to your goal?
I'm not asking you to quit your job and have a business plan in 10 minutes?
But, could you ask, "How do I intend to make a difference in my new business?" and journal about it?
Ok...it's TAKE ACTION TIME!1) What is ONE small step you are committing to TODAY to move your dream forward?

2) For social proof + group pats on the back, POST A COMMENT with your step!

MWAH!

Imagine this scenario.

You get a raise at work. The initial glow is awesome but then half a second later, your mind starts racing.

What if they expect more from me now?

What if I can’t live up to my new responsibilities?

What if the company goes under? How will I support myself then?

 Can you relate?

The Games We Play
Whether it’s a raise, a compliment from your spouse or an “intuitive hit” that was right on, it’s easy to fall into the trap of “what if” (aka the worst-case scenario) and scarcity thinking. Your pulse starts to race, your breathing gets shallow and your mind is so far off in some non-existent future hell that you can’t even enjoy the good that just came your way! When we indulge in self-defeating thoughts that have not even manifested yet, our energy drops, our outlook feels bleak and any good juju we collected from a personal win (small or large) feels overshadowed and well, gone.

Here’s the big question: Do you want to play the “SCARCITY ” game or the “CELEBRATION” game?

The Good News

But the good news is that this is TOTALLY within our control. Whenever you feel that all-too familiar tug to dump negativity and fear after something really awesome happens to you, instead of giving into it (boring and non-productive), what if you actually let yourself CELEBRATE it?

Yes, CELEBRATE! This goes one step up from gratitude and appreciation. Think of a childhood birthday party you went to and enjoyed. Maybe it wasn’t the coolest venue or the cake wasn’t the one you actually wanted with the real frosting but somehow, it was still usually a pretty fantastic day, right?

You smiled a lot, you laughed, you walked around for days with a goofy grin on your face (especially if your crush came to the party) and even when crappy things came your way, they didn’t phase you because you were still “at the party” in your mind.

What if you brought that kind of CELEBRATION energy into your life EVERY DAY?

What could be possible THEN?

Celebration Mode

When we are in “Celebration” mode, our moods are elevated, we are grounded, the endorphins are running, we glow and inevitably, others pick up on that glow and by Diana Dorell’s Law of Energy Exchange (I made that up), we open for more wonderful things to come our way.

3 Ways to Get There

How you celebrate is less important than committing to celebrating! Below are some of my favorite ways to get into celebration mode. Remember-it’s an ENERGY thing. No need to bust the bank.

1.    Write the following phrase in a journal or post-it:
  “Today, I TOTALLY ROCK because…….” (writing it makes it real and if you’re embarrassed that someone will walk by and see it, well then get a journal already!)

2.    Victory Lap It!
  Take a short walk around the block. Consider this your Victory Lap (it’s all about intention baby!) and that every minute you walk celebrating your success, the Universe is rewarding you with something new!

3.    Splurge (Actually Spending Money is Optional)
Buy yourself flowers or if you can’t spend money, go to the flower shop or another store you love and “mentally”/energetically visualize yourself buying something special to recognize this special win. Your body won’t know the difference and you’ll still get the “Celebration” high! Wohoo!

Take Action Time: 
What is ANOTHER way we could get into “Celebration” mode?

This past weekend, I got asked:
"What can I do when I've said NO to a friend, co-worker, etc in conversation and they still continue to push me?"

I LOVE this question as it addresses so many themes, the main one being the B-word (not that one) but BOUNDARIES. Let's break it down! Watch the video below.

Take Action:
Which Tip will YOU implement?
Do you have tips that have helped you stay strong and stick to a boundary?

Post a comment on this blog! You never know who you could help.

"Don't worry. Be Happy." :) 

It has a nice ring doesn't it? 

And if you find yourself worrying about anything today, remember this:
(Channeled from ArchAngel Chamuel) 

1) Message:
"Worry is not your natural state, my Dear Child. Love is.
When you worry, you doubt Spirit and life becomes a series of challenging events.
Love is within you and all around you. Many are worried right now about the state of your world, the state of your jobs, 
relationships and health. Release the worries to us now by closing your eyes and taking a moment from your busy life to 
BREATHE. With each inhale, you breathe in new life, a new choice, a renewal of love and peace. And with each exhale, you 
expel negativity, worry, anxiety and other 5-sensory concerns that have little to do with Who You Really Are. That is all.
Breathe and Love. And leave your worries with us Angels. We have always been with you and we are here now, reminding
you of Who You Really Are."

Take Action: 
(This one is simple, but you have to stick with it!)
Today, commit to taking 10 minutes out of your hectic day to sit STILL, BREATHE IN with awareness + BREATHE OUT your worries to AA Chamuel.
Bonus points if you visualize the color pale yellow or gold. (Many have seen this color when calling him in or pale pink). 

Will you do it + let me know how it goes for you?

2) Tonight's Radio Guests: Girls Gone Moto

Happy October + Happy Birthday to all your Libras! 


Did you have a good weekend?
I'm feeling extremely grateful right now that it is cooling down here in Arizona! It is a very windy day and the trees in front of me are blowing furiously back and forth. Change is definitely here.

Right now, I'm deep in preparation mode for my November retreat in Sedona, Soothe Your Soul, which I can hardly believe is exactly 1 month away!  I call it going into my "Goddess" alchemy bubble, a place where I create glittering images, get clear on my intentions and bring them to life! Thankfully, I have an amazing team of Goddesses helping me do this! If you haven't snagged your seat and would like to be part of the fun, click here. 

One of the biggest themes of October is: "Staying True to yourself"  (Even when other people in your life are resistant or reluctant to change)

*What are you supposed to say when you tell a good friend that you're quitting your job to pursue something you truly love and they frown?

*What are you supposed to do when no matter how much positive energy you bring home, your spouse or child just seems to mirror or spew negative energy?

*How do you know that you ARE following your intuition/are on the right path, even if a part of you doubts it?

I never claim to know all the answers, but I would love to offer you some suggestions in this week's video:

If you enjoyed the video above, I'd love to hear YOUR thoughts. Do YOU have some suggestions of your own, tips, or resources/favorite books that have helped you stay true to yourself?
