Relationships: Connected in Real Time?
Have you known of someone who shared that they were so passionately in love with someone and connected at such a deep core level and when you asked them how they met and what does he look like, the answer is “we’ve never met”? I had such a friend who I thought was smart, savvy and confident in herself, yet would fall for someone she had never met in person, let alone seen a picture of her knight in shining armour? Needless to say, this faux relationship that my friend was involved in did not evolve, for the missing piece was real time connection. It seems that wherever I go, whoever I interview, whatever I observe, there seems to be a commonality about connecting via the internet, communicating through texting and my observation is that there is nothing real about it. So many broken hearts, broken promises from strangers, and yet the one who is deceived feels betrayed and victimized. It’s borderline cyber bullying, for the intention is not to fulfill their empty promises, but to live in a place of power and ego while hiding behind the veil of anonymity.
On the flipside, what makes a seemingly intelligent person allow themselves to be so revealing that leaves them in despair? I’m reminded of the story in Sedona when very intelligent people went into a sweatlodge as part of a ritual demanded by their mentor, only to sucumb to illness and for some, death. They trusted in this man so implicitly with their lives to foresake their own.
What is missing with these stories is self-love. When there is such a level of lack, people will do the unimaginable and we are left in confusion when we hear these stories. As Les Brown said in workshop last summer, “don’t be anyone else’s puppet in life”, I couldn’t agree more. There is such a disconnect with ourselves that people reach out to others to fill that void, hoping they will fulfill the void. Truth of the matter, is to look inward. The mirror can be the most frightening object in life to some people for they refuse to see the truth that lies within and has built so many layers around their heart. In my book “Discover the Essence of You”, I share how to unravel these layers, learning how to release, how to forgive and allow the light within to radiant once again which opens your heart to abundance that is your birth right.
I invite you to read more about these topics within my website www.nancyferrari.com and look forward to connecting with you … in real time!
Soulmates in Present Time
As I read an article as to whether or not we ever find our soulmates in life, the first insight that came to mind is being open-hearted and open-minded in one’s energy to be in a state of “knowing” when your soulmate, whether it’s your partner in life, or a friend, shows up in your life. With regard to knowing when the perfect life partner comes into your life, what I know to be true is having that soulful energetic relationship with yourself. My coaching practice is based on 3 ingredients “connect, evolve, and discover”. Once that connection is solid within oneself, your heart will know and recognize that soulmate when he or she comes into your life. I’m blessed in life that I knew 35 years ago when the world stopped in its track, when my future husband and I locked eyes and just knew we were soulmates. It’s as if we had known each other a lifetime when we met. Our conversation was of ease and respect, our connection was intense and most important, there was a knowing of trust within each other.
With regard to friendships, have you ever met someone and it’s as if you’ve known him or her forever? I have experienced this many times, however, as of late, there have been a few glorious moments when I came in contact with some people who I “know” have been in a state of waiting to connect! In September of 2011, I was at an event and said hello to a woman who replied the same energetic hello and then we realized we’ve never met before!! She has become a good friend of mine and there was that sense of “knowing” and it was easy to connect, evolve and discover how beautiful our friendship is. There was another woman who came into my life in January of this year, 2012, who connected with me after hearing me speak at a real estate seminar, and the minute she approached me and started talking, there again, it was as if I’ve known her forever! She became an instant friend and we often share that we can’t go a week without seeing each other as our connection as friends, our laughter and mutual respect is so incredibly strong!
With all this said, I share that there absolutely are soulmates in our lives, allowing the openings for them to appear in life and honoring the awareness for feeling the sense of “knowing” when they do come into your life.
My friends know who they are and how much I love and honor them in my life, and it goes without saying that my husband, Dominic, knows all this to be true as we just shared our 33rd wedding anniversary and life together is in a state of bliss every day!
Full Court Press in Life
As this is the weekend of March Madness, the word “full court press” came to mind as there are a plethora of basketball games in my vision every time I scan the tv guide for something interesting to watch on tv. Needless to say, the tv is off as I have been in a reflective mindset as I was analyzing the ebbs and flows of life, especially pertaining to my experiences as an entrepreneur. So many quotes come to mind “If it’s to be, it’s up to me” and “It is never too late to be who you might have been” also came my way and there are never any coincidences in life as either the perfect words, the perfect people, and perfect timing comes just when it’s needed the most. I did watch the show “Shark Tank” an hour ago, and listened to a young Mom present her product with such a level of deep passion and from her heart place which gained the interest of 3 of the investors, one of which who handed her a check. What that reminded me is that when you truly believe in yourself, ANYTHING is possible. I’ve been blessed to be in connection with women who are successful, persisting through any and all adversity and know that they are in my life for a reason as their level of success is what I strive for in all areas of my life …. personally, professionally and spiritually. As I coach women as a Feminine Success Leader, as certified by Marsh Engle, CEO of Marsh Engle Media Network, and creator of the Six Essentials from which my certification is based upon, my words of encouragement are persist, persist and keep persisting through challenges, doubts, adversity and above all, believe in yourself so implicitly that no one can take you off your focus for your success. I look forward to sharing more about my Feminine Success Circle workshops which will begin in April and organized either a virtual teleclass, or within meetings in person with small groups of 8 women to focus on feminine success and what that means to you!
Living Life with Intention
As I had the pleasure of interviewing Ursula Mentjes, founder of Sales Coach Now and author of “Selling with Intention” and “One Great Goal”, as well as Rebecca Matias, intuitive business coach, on my radio show last week, our discussions about attaining success in life further solidified my focus on the word “intention”. As I shared this same message within my presentation as I spoke to an audience of realtors at the Pacific West Realtors Association in Anaheim, CA, on January 19, 2012, there truly is a distinction between setting resolutions versus intentions. When I asked the audience how many people had set resolutions, several hands went up and then when I asked how many resolutions have stuck, there were less hands showing. When you live your life with intention, there is a stronger level of accountability to what you intend to set your sights on what you want in life. As I share the power and art of visioning, it is the manifestion of positive intentions that activate your life. We can wish, hope, blame, complain, be the victim in life which can justify anyone’s actions, should they choose to do so, however, this becomes the merry-go-round in life (that is not so merry). This is when the questions of “why isn’t life working for me”, or “why me” are heard over and over again.
Now that I’ve painted a flip opposite vision of a positve life, I have good news for you …. YOU have the power to create your best life by design! I’ve been told that I’m an eternal optimist, for which I will not defend, for I am always in a postive state of mind, which truly creates a life of harmony with my personal and professional lives. My personal relationships with my husband and family are in harmony and my professional life is manifesting itself just as I intended in my vision board that I created in my Vision Board in January 2011.
Are you ready to discover how you can make that shift into the postive state of mind … experiencing more abundance in all areas of life? If so, I’m waiting to hear from you … you are deserving of all that and more and I can’t wait to show you how!
Warmly,
Nancy

The Thread to Connection
As I saw a picture of a vintage large spool of heavy thread, I realized that an unlimited length of thread in life is a focal point with my Discover the Essence of You program, where my 3 main ingredients are “connect~evolve~discover.” There is no coincidence when these 3 words were embedded within my manuscript, it was my vision to connect these words with swirly hypens, without knowing why. Therein lies the beginning … the beauty of connect and connecting. As I share this story in my presentations, connecting is key, as without the connect, you cannot evolve or discover the true essence of you. However, my thoughts drifted to interpersonal connections with people who come into our life. I’ve always been a personal to extend my hand to shake the hand of another, hug when it’s appropriate especially when there’s an instant energy vibration between us. On the flipside, have you experienced a time when you are at a gathering, whether small or large, and are prompted to reach out and hold the hand of the person next to you, you are met with resistance to connecting with you? Why is that? Is it that they are resistant to connecting? Are they fearful of germs? How do you handle it when the hand next to you does not meet with yours? Do you feel rejected or do you honor their choice not to connect?
First and foremost, I have learned not to take anything personally for it is not me that they are rejecting, however, the concept of touch is out of their comfort zone and needs to be honored. There is the factor of our personal space and how others do not allow another into their space until they feel comfortable.
There is a likelihood that it isn’t their culture to be touchy/feely in life. That is something that comes with trust and rapport and not freely given. Understanding cultures is very important when you are within a large forum of people.
The health concern is very individual as well for there are concerns about transmitting germs, especially during cold and flu season. Here’s something you may not know …. have you ever watched Jay Leno after he shakes the hands of many people in the audience? He always places his hands in his pockets as he has sanitizer cloths in his pockets. Learned something new, did you? That’s a thought when you are out and about and want to shake someone’s hand but are fearful of germs.
In essence, one the of 4 agreements in life is to never assume anything. These are just a few examples of why you might receive resistance and encourage you not to take it personally (another one of the 4 agreements as stated in the book The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz.
As Thanksgiving is a few days away, I encourage you to reach out and connect with loved ones, even those who have been adversarial individuals in your life. Life truly is a gift and let’s untie the ribbon that might be holding the gift inside and let the light within you shine and radiant towards others. I guarantee that the projection of your light will radiate towards you! Blessings to you all for a Happy Thanksgiving!
With love and light,
Nancy
CONNECT. EVOLVE. DISCOVER
These are the 3 key ingredients in the recipe of Discover the Essence of You, my signature program that was designed especially for women who find themselves asking questions such as “who am I?”, “what’s my life purpose”, and “how do I handle transitions in life?”. We all have experienced these questions in life for no one is exempt from challenges or obstacles that come our way. What I have found through my life journey, teachings from experts in various fields of human behavior, healing arts, and life coaches, life is truly what we make of it and we have thepower of choice!
What I have discovered also is that the happiness factor is 50% genetics, 40% intention and 10% circumstances. We can’t change our genetics, however the 40% and 10% is something that we can change and with focus and willingness to shift into a positive state of mind, your life will be one of joy as you experience more clarity, truly become in tune with you and your life’s purpose and receive all the abundance of infinite possibilities!
As I apply the techniques within my Discover the Essence of You coaching program, incorporating The Heart Path Method process, I invite you to visit my website to learn more about the program, my special offers for coaching and my shop page where you can place your order for the Discover the Essence of You audio and workbook/journal that was created especially for you! A perfect gift for yourself as 2012 is the time to set new intentions for your very best life of crystal clear clarity!
I look forward to connecting as you opt-in through my website www.nancyferrari.com.
Warm regards,
Nancy
The Dream Team – Girls in Baseball
I had the pleasure of interviewing the coaches and some members of The Dream Team, an all girls U13 baseball team who is taking the country by storm as they play impressively in tournaments across the country against all boy baseball teams! These exceptional girls, namely, Chelsea Baker, Plant City, FL, Alyssa Freeman, Boise, ID; Nylah Ramirez, Broolyn, NY; Maddy Lewis, Alameda, CA; Abbey Donovan, Half Moon Bay, CA; Sara Lopez Wheeler, Cambridge, MA; Kristen Moldovan, Long Island, NY; Jade Gortarez, Ontario, CA; Kelsie Whitmore, Temecula, CA; Casey McCrackin, Pensacola, FL; and Marianne Sparacia, Tampa Bay, FL are the girls of The Dream Team and you can see they are from all over the United States brought together for the love of playing baseball together! Coaches Shawn Freeman and Rod Mason witnessed this exceptional talent in 2010 when Justine Siegal invited these girls to play in a tournament in Cooperstown, NY and competed against 104 boys teams and placed 39th in the Cooperstown Tournament. Hence, the beginning of The Dream Team became a reality and are headed to Denver, Colorado to play in the World Series. These girls are not only exceptionally talented and disciplined, but also are exceptional in their academic success! Let’s root for The Dream Team and let’s also give them the support needed to continue forward in tournaments with the goal to win the World Series!

Find Your Voice, Find Your Power
As I was interviewed by DeDe Murcer Moffatt, host of “Find Your Voice, Find Your Power and the Snap Out of It Show” on the Snap Out of It! Radio Network, I was truly reminded of stories of women who had been suppressed either emotionally, verbally or physically. As I had my own experiences where I was told to keep quiet and/or controlled, it was with the evolution of myself that I realized that I do have a voice and with the discovery of BlogTalkRadio, I finally found a forum to express myself freely, and encourage my guests to do the same. I have also discovered the there are many women who have been suppressed, verbally suffocated and feel that what they have to say is not important. That’s when I made the decision to join Compass, a personal development network. Through their group coaching calls, and monthly action plan, which is what I call “checking in” to yourself as you listen to 10 minutes of audio by a coach for your specific interest and then perhaps spend another 10-15 minutes on your workbook, I find this an investment that is priceless. Actually, it is almost priceless for you can join for only $19/month, if your budget doesn’t allow for more. I encourage those of you who want to achieve life balance, remodel your reality, to check out www.EmpowerYourCompass.com and also invite you to listen to my interview with DeDe Murcer Moffett as I share my personal experience and how I worked through the process to attain a life of balance and alignment. Feel free to contact me or join my network, The Ferrari Energy Network, so you can receive tips and information on upcoming events to benefit you!
Warmly,
Nancy

The WOW of the WIN and International Women’s Day
I am so honored to feature Paula Fellingham, CEO and Founder of the Women’s Information Network, also known as “WIN”. Such an appropriate abbreviation as the word “win” is such a positive and empowering word. I will refer to the founder as Dr. Fellingham as she received her Doctorate of Education in Human Relations, after raising 7 children, which is admirable, and even more impressive is her passion and purpose in life to make a difference in women’s lives with her “Ignite Your Life” seminars, her speaking engagements, and many accomplishments as an author as well. Her book, Believe It! Become It! How to Hurdle Barriers and Excel Like Never Before” was a best seller, as were her other 4 books. Dr. Fellingham truly is an inspiration in that anything is possible, and I invite you to listen to my interview on Friday, February 18, 2011, 8:30 a.m. PST on my “Feel Free in the O.C. with Nancy T.” radio show to hear her story in person and the momentum that is leading to this history-making event on March 8, 2011 that will be held in 10 cities across the country! My BlogTalkRadio site is www.blogtalkradio.com/nancytferrari and you can listen live or listen to the archived recording of the show. Prepare to be inspired, energized and motivated, as I know I will be!
