When you open up to the power of connection, you meet amazing people!

One of those people is Lisa Culver, a practitioner of the healing arts
since 1990. Lisa is often sought out by other professionals for her
wisdom, calming presence, and intuition. She is nationally recognized
for her appearances on national radio shows, such as “Living Successfully”
with Bob Keeton, and her own radio program “Living from the Heart.”

To serve others better, Lisa became an ordained ADL Minister in 2001.
She later co-founded the Wildflower Chapel, a ministry dedicated to
those that have chosen the path of higher consciousness. She has known
and worked with Paxton Robey for many years and is bringing Paxton to
Colorado.

I’ve not met him yet, but after meeting with Lisa and working with her,
one on one, on some issues of my own, I trust her praise for Paxton and
his work!

After reading his book, “No Time for Karma”, I can’t wait to meet him
in person! If you happen to be in the Denver area on the 29th and 30th
of January, 2010, YOU can meet him too.

Now here is a man who has such a unique blend of talents and gifts…
Physics Engineer and Psychic Counselor all rolled into one!
 
As an intuitive mystic he has an understanding of how we can expedite 
our own path to awakening. His bliss is sharing his vision of self
awakening and planetary awakening with others. Paxton says, “After a
14 year “sabbatical” it feels really good to be returning to the road.”

 My Dream Comes True…28 Years Later!

Have you ever visited a place and loved it so much you said to yourself and/or others you wanted to go back and live there someday?

That thought stays in the back of your mind, popping up every now and then,  wondering if there will ever be a right time to actually make it happen. The “can’ts”, “not nows”, or “just dreaming” tend to take over when jobs, businesses, kids, older family, homes, money, health issues or other responsibilities take priority compared to making dreams happen.

I’ve lived my share of that mind game. Although I’ve taken a lot of risks throughout my life in order to live it on my terms, I’ve also backed down a lot because I had certain responsibilities to others as a result of the choices I had made. We all do trade offs…especially when we give life to other human beings and raise them as best we can.

While doing that, we get sucked into bigger homes with mortgages, multiple cars with monthly payments, lots of toys that just  get more expensive as the kids and we grow older. Year after year we just accumulate more “stuff” and it starts to weigh us down. Under that weight, it just seems like too much trouble to move anywhere else or too hard to change the lifestyle we’ve developed. So sometimes our dreams get dimmer and we decide that maybe they were just silly ideas of our younger days.

Well, I’m here to tell you that sometimes dreams actually come true when these three ingredients are in place… TIMING, FOCUS and GutZ.

Timing is HUGE! It’s Why You Don’t Give Up on Your Dreams

Several years ago, when we made the move from Beulah to Pueblo, we made the conscious decision to RENT a home as opposed to buying one. Why? So that we could be free to move if the opportunity came up. Since my Hubby has never really like Pueblo, we figured the time would come.

I honestly am not a very good home owner even though I’ve studied the money game for many years and know the benefits of home ownership versus renting. I like the freedom that comes with non-ownership.

So when my daughter graduated from high school last spring and moved into her own place with a job and college classes, my hubby and I looked at each other and said, “OK, so where will we move to?”. We discussed other cities in Colorado, California, Utah, Washington and Idaho, but nothing really excited us.

All of a sudden I remembered (drum roll, please…)
What about Australia?

Ever since Joe sent me a ticket to come visit him in Australia for 3 weeks after we first met in Keystone, Colorado, I’ve wanted to go back to experience the beaches, food and people of that magical land down under! I advised my hubby to keep his Australian citizenship even after we got married, JUST IN CASE we might want to move there some day.

Well, after 28 years, it seemed  the right time and circumstances had appeared!

Since our son was now 24 with no positive prospects for jobs or ANY other worthwhile opportunities in Pueblo and my daughter graduated and wanting to be out on her own, as well as an economy seeing its’ worst days since the Great Depression…Hey it just seemed like the PERFECT TIME to move on and take the plunge.

The Law of Attraction is an AMAZING thing!

It didn’t take long at all to put the request out into the universe and get back the answer, once we determined to FOCUS on that goal. In fact it was SCARY it was so fast and easy!

Joe asked his old ski buddy who lives and works as a ski instructor in Colorado and Australia if he knew of anyone we could stay with or rent from until we could check things out and the answer was YES…HIS PLACE! We went up to Aspen shortly thereafter to celebrate our friend’s 60th birthday and negotiated the details with him and his wife.

OK all you grassroots organizers, non-profit fundraisers and do-gooders out there. This article is about the power of the internet to save a person’s life that YOU can take part in or use as a template for creating and implementing your own drives, fundraisers or movements.

If you have a list or post in a blog, then this article might even spur you on to spread the word to help the cause or if you’re the type they’re looking for, you may even decide to save a life!

This is exactly why so many of us get so JAZZED about new technology, web 2.0 and the Internet.

We talk about how we use the Internet to start and grow our businesses in order to create more freedom and abundance, which is GREAT, but with all of the crazy things going on in the world, we can use it to do great things to help man(woman)kind in our life struggles as well.

“Petey Needs a Wheelchair Van” is an Example

I previously wrote of an example of one of my fellow competitiors in the Next Internet Millionaire, who is an aide for a young man by the name of Petey. Petey has an incurable debilitating disease and in order to help him lead as normal a life as possible with the time he has left, Jason Marshall put together a giveaway campaign to raise money to buy  a wheelchair accessible van.

While they didn’t reach their goal of $15,000.00, they did raise $6,000.00, which not only puts them closer to the possibilities and may open up new opportunities, but it also helped those of us who who donated recieve some valuable information products, softwares, books, courses, etc. for much less money than we would have had to pay if we bought them at retail…Obviously you can see the WIN WIN!

By the way, you HAVE to go see the Google graphic Petey created for a contest…Those of you who can relate to handicap life will LOVE it!  

When you Ask for More than Money

Well, this new grassroots effort takes this same sort of idea to another level. This time the disease doesn’t have to be fatal and by either contributing our time, our connections or our bone morrow, we get a chance to save a life of a darling 26 year old Asian American woman and more!

Michelle Maykin dedicated herself to helping others by creating Project Michelle, an online/offline campaign focused on recruiting people to become potential bone marrow donors for others like her who  have leukemia, so this drive reaches even further. Apparently, there is a major shortage of Asians registered as potential donors, which is a problem because they are the most likely prospects for donors that match others of Asian background.
 

My point is that this campaign can be used as an incredible template for using our skills and creativity to put together grassroots movements of as many people and entities as possible to provide for the needs of others less fortunate in our communities by leveraging the capabilities of viral marketing, blogging, email marketing and the Internet.

What makes this drive unique is that its purpose is not to raise money, but bone morrow donors. Think about the logistisical challenges, especially online, which, to the more traditional thinking person, might stop them before they start in putting something like this together.

So I invite you to study how this grass roots campaign is put together and how are successfully getting the word out, gaining volunteers and how they handle the logistics of creating drives in 5 major cities, as well as dedicated centers outside of those cities, that are tied in with the National Morrow Donor Program.

Overcoming the Weight of the World…

In my previous post, I shared a personal story about how all the bad things happening in the world recently affected me and how after releasing all the pent up garbage I had been holding inside, I examined why it affected me so badly and what it would take to feel better.

In order to do that, I re-visited what it was I wanted to create in my personal and business life. I questioned whether what GutZy Women offers to our readers, students and partners is truly of value to them. Additionally, I asked myself and YOU if GutZy Women is actually having an impact in the mission to change perceptions about computer and internet technology being too complicated, threatening, frustrating, time consuming and/or expensive.

In the Beginning…

I know when the vision of GutZy Women came to me, it was so EXPANSIVE that I needed help figuring out where to start.

After much confusion on my part and after working with a few business building consultants, I decided to begin with the education piece. So last May, I held the grand opening of GutZy Women LLC.

The educational process began with classes I facilitated here in Pueblo and have since expanded in scope, both online and off. There are so many great educators, coaches, trainers and mentors online now, with more and more women becoming a part of that talented pool, it becomes overwhelming! How does one decide. How does a multi tasking Mom/business owner, for example, find the time? GutZy Women to the rescue!

GutZy Women’s contribution to education is now at over 100 articles, videos and audio combined. That doesn’t include all the tips, strategies, advice, learning experiences, resources and connections we have freely shared on our other websites, social networks, forums and chat rooms for seekers of marketing and income solutions.

Welcome to the Future:

Every day, more and more people are learning online, not just by reading, but by listening and watching, thanks to broadband, wireless technologies and Web 2.0 capabilities . There is still some resistance, but to be honest, with the price of gas and the lack of time, on demand online learning, without leaving home, just makes sense.

Besides the phenomenal growth of social networking, there’s instant messaging, Skype type calling , mobile texting…it just continues to expand! It soon becomes apparent that the world is at our fingertips.

GutZy Women is behind the scenes at this moment creating alliances with resources around the world for education, mentoring, networking and joint venturing.

Expanding possibilities for women and their families by leveraging communication technology is GutZy Women’s  ”Big Picture”.

Being able to connect with people who are intent on making this a better, more sustainable world and are taking positive ACTION in that direction IS what gets me JAZZED and in it’s inaugural year, GutZy Women LLC is HOT on that path.

So… Why the Discontent?

A source of my discontent, it seems, is when I came to the realization that it’s time to add on the next level.

Not that we want to leave “newbies” behind. The education piece is still very important for the EVE-olution.

We continuously scour the internet and attract like minds to flush out the great stuff (and expose the bad), but we also have to have successful ways to bring it to your attention….then convince or inspire you to overcome your own barriers to taking POSITIVE ACTION.

Additionally, I realized my own personal resistance to being totally business and internet marketing oriented in content, when my true passion lies in manifesting a world that values and supports women and includes them as valued equals in all the different facets of life.

Gathering the Feminine Energy

I see the necessity of the return of feminine energy into our world in order to keep us from self-destructing.

Because I see it that way, I sometimes come across as a feminist, a whiner or a sexist. At other times, I strike people as “Pollyanna-ish”, gullible or an unrealistic ”dreamer” because I believe in the power of love, the virtue of open mindedness, co-opetition vs competition, abundance vs scarcity, and the existence of miracles.

Regardless, I proclaim my right to deviate from a purely professional presence and humbly present the truth of who I am and what I believe as a holistic being.

You have the same right here in GutZy Womanland.

If you are comfortable with that, as well as with inspirational messages or “women talk” in the same breath as internet marketing, technology education and business development, then GutZy Women is the right place for you and NO, you don’t have to be a woman. Enlightened Men are welcome and even encouraged to join us in the EVE-olution.

(OK now, I’m getting all choked up again..Hands over your hearts. please
