I’m loving the English countryside…AND I’m so grateful to announce I am successfully beginning week 2 of my DIY Detox.  I’ve been spending time with friends, going for walks, gave myself an at-home manicure, and even hosted a private intensive in our farmhouse for an international client. 

My view on a blissful autumn walk in the English countryside…

I’m feeling really empowered in my life and am finding that from this place, my desires become clearer, which makes them far easier to manifest.  Did you know that statistically, only 1 in 100 people know what they want?  I’ve always been the type of person who’s known what I’ve wanted in life…or so I thought!

When I have been clear, BIG things, REALLY BIG and fun opportunities fall into my lap, like working at the White House, the Supreme Court, Harvard’s Institute of Politics, with Marianne Williamson, selling many $100k programs, getting married at the top of the Spanish Steps in Rome and even more recently, having been on a traveling adventure with my husband for 6-months, enjoying our lives and this beautiful planet from Palm Springs to Portugal to Puglia (Italy), and having over 300 women from around the world join me and Rose Cole for our Feminine Art of Manifesting Program.

So this has been the easy part…want to know the hard part?  All of the other times, when I thought I had a desire or goal, but it wasn’t 100% ME.  I’ve spent SO MUCH time and energy over the years doing what I now call, “applying for what I don’t really want”.  And this has included applying to universities, where I didn’t even love the campus, or for jobs that I thought would pay well, but weren’t my zone of genius, or tried to get clients for what was a fine service but not my true calling.  The same situation used to happen when I’d go for the guys who’d never really love me or do life the way I truly wanted.  And trying to get in with peer and professional circles that just were not my tribe.

The Universe Is On Your Side.  The older I get (I’m going to be 40 in a few months!), the more I’m able to surrender into the truth of God’s love for me and for all.  We are created with a vibrant life force and purpose that does not bless or benefit anyone when we go for what isn’t authentically US.  I know this sounds obvious, but the courage it takes to drop the conditioning of who we’re “supposed” to be, or how we’re “supposed” to make the money or who we’re “supposed” to marry is fierce.  It takes fiercely feminine courage to go for –FULLY–the most magical and natural state of YOU.

In today’s international Divine Living Radio Talk Show I’m going to be discussing:

The Universe Is On Your Side:

Ciao from Italy!

My vibration is always high and happy when I’m here.  Like all of us, I’m always working on myself, expanding, improving and upleveling.  In this video I share how I manifested the “perfect Italian office” today today.  And in the process realized, what I wanted was already there for me…even BETTER than I, myself imagined.

I share this in hopes that this video will inspire you to raise your frequency, manifest what you really want and allow all of your good to come to you…not one day…rather today!

P.S. What’s your #1 question about manifesting from a feminine perspective? Leave a comment below…

What a glorious 5 days I’ve had here in NYC.  I flew across the Atlantic Ocean to meet with my Doing Business Like a Queen group at The Four Seasons New York.  I absolutely LOVE these women and our live training days together. 

We do in-depth learning and discovery on so much more than business and we cover smart business strategies too.  You can’t achieve the kind of success these women accomplish without attending to both the feminine and the masculine parts of ourselves.

As women entrepreneurs, it’s important to conduct your affairs in a luxurious environment with total support, full service, nourishing food, natural light and a cool vibration to create businesses that are going to the next level.   Check out our fabulous and plush meeting room for the day.

I’ve been writing a “Summer in the City” series while I’ve been here.  You can check out my post on “Tips for Manifesting” here.  And the post on “How to Be Memorable” here. More segments to come.

One of the BIG topics that came up in our women’s entrepreneur group meeting is the concept of  “having it all”.  Can you? Is it wrong? Is it possible to have what you want but not all at once?  Trust me, this topic hit a HOT spot within our group (you should have seen the looks on all of our faces).

So clearly today I feel inspired to speak further on today’s Divine Living Radio Show live from The Four Seasons New York on the concept of:

“Women & Femininity:  Having it All ~ The Way Your Life is Meant to Be”

Having traveled the world, I’ve enjoyed the good fortune of experiencing many grand hotels and resorts.  Some luxurious, some quaint, and I have very fond memories of my trips.  On my recent New York City stop to come and play, meet up with friends, plus host a private meeting with some of my top clients, I chose The Four Seasons New York.

Upon my arrival, I was impressed with the grand entrance.  After 2 months in Europe and getting off a flight from Paris, it felt fantastic to be back in the United States and welcomed in Four Seasons style.

Lobby Entrance at the Four Seasons New York

My room is fabulous! So perfect for a good night’s sleep after a long flight, with plenty of space to unpack and work. A Queen does need her space after all.

My husband and I were welcomed with a hand-written personalized note.

Absolutely divine strawberry lemonade, strawberry macaroons, and in-season strawberries.

Drum roll please! Now for the “Most Memorable Welcome Ever”: Sugar art with our picture plus chocolates!

The generosity and creativity of Tiffani Cailor and the Four Seasons staff inspired me to think of new ways to be memorable in life and in business.  Any great resort or hotel can have a bottle of Champagne waiting, or the still life picture looking fruit plate.  However, to make the effort to visit my blog, get a picture and create this spectacular welcome piece is a treat and treasure I’ll always remember.  Thank you Four Seasons New York!

Tips for Being Memorable in Business and Life:

1.  Think of what is standard practice in your industry and then…don’t do that.  Think of the Champagne example from above.  As lovely as it is, it’s still ordinary for 5-star hotels, and for those of us business travelers who visit them regularly, it’s almost even expected. Thinking outside the box is a key way to leave a lasting impression.

2.  Personalize…anything.  In our high-tech, fast-paced, Facebook group, email blast, Twitter list era, the personalized touch in Western society is lacking.  Personalizing something for your top client, weekend house guest, or BFF adds an element of sparkle and joy to anyone’s life and will surely be remembered.

3.  The handwritten note.  Whether it’s a thank you note, or a “thinking of you” card, receiving thoughtful sentiments on beautiful stationery is always memorable.

4.  Pick up the phone.  In our age of internet, opt-in boxes,  autoresponders, and texting…actually picking up the phone and calling people creates a connection a bond and has a prospective client or friend or colleague feel special.  We all remember the people who had us feel special.

5.  For no special reason.  Receiving a call, a letter, a gift out of the blue or “just because” is a great way to celebrate life and the people who you care about.  Think of one person right now who you want to do something memorable for, and do it…just because.

Much love,

Gina DeVee

To say I’m elated is an understatement.  It’s official that my husband and I will be traveling and working–(if you want to call meeting Europe’s coolest women entrepreneurs in elegant cities like London, Paris, Vienna, Amsterdam, Budapest, St. Tropez, Venice, Prague and Geneva “work”)  during the summer.

It’s been a dream of mine to be able to travel extensively throughout parts of Europe I’ve not been to, and I can feel the extra high vibration I’m now waking up with knowing that my dream is now my reality. 

Europe...Here I come!

For so long I had “wishes” or “great ideas” about how I wanted to do my life…one day. 

These days, when I’m clear on something I desire, I allow myself as a feminine Queen to receive the desires of my heart.  Yes, there are some efforts that I need to make and some actions that need taken to manifest these desires, though truthfully, it seems like the biggest challenge was/is the allowing.

Allowing myself to receive this experience.  Allowing myself to play this big.  Allowing myself to be this visible in global markets.

Is this something you want for yourself as well?  If so, know that it’s meant for you.  If you desire something so deeply, TRUST that you want it for a reason…and that that reason is connected to your soul’s purpose.  As women, we want to experience a lot of life.  Making the decision to allow yourself to live your fullest life–that’s exciting and it will inspire so many others to live their dream as well.

What’s YOUR dream for this summer?

“All happiness depends on a leisurely breakfast.”–John Gunther

I’m not sure about ALL happiness, though I do know that when I start my day somewhere beautiful (whether at home or on travels) and I get to experience a relaxed and long breakfast…I feel more feminine, more soft, and definitely more Queenly.

One of the new adventures my husband and I enjoyed in Palm Springs, was brunch at the Riviera.  The poolside vibe was divine, and the Old Hollywood Glamour suited me just fine.  Here are some shots from our most enjoyable morning there:

Shaded and tranquil outdoor seating

I know we're talking breakfast, but I loved this cocktail nook!

Back to breakfast...Mediterranean Omelette for 2

For me, my leisure breakfast would not be complete without this King of a man!

What are your favorite leisurely breakfast spots?  Let me know in the comments section below…

I woke up today, and realized I was wasting time.  I was “doing” tasks that had gone past the point of not wanting to…and veered into being resentful of having to do them.  Though I realize “hate” is a strong word…if I used another, I’d be making this conversation “fluffy”…not something I’m typically known for.

Sooo…if you need or want some Monday Motivation to live the life you’re meant for…enjoy this free Queens’ Global Coaching Call I offer to women entrepreneurs worldwide every Monday at 10:00am L.A./1:00p.m.NYC/6:00p.m.London:  Listen Here Now.

Here’s to all of us soulful and talented women across the globe using our talents at the highest level and creating solutions for delegating what we’re not meant to do.

So this week I have decided to STOP creating programs I “think” I should do, just because I “can”, to make more room for my new photoshop obsession (see image above–my first creation unsupervised) and blog (which you are currently reading), and bring fresh and vibrant content out of me and into the world.

Leave a comment about what you’re going to STOP doing, to make room for what you want to START…starting this week!

So I’m finishing a coaching session at 5:30p.m. on Thursday, and I hear my husband say, “Your cousin from Vegas is driving in to watch your cousins Gio & Tawny play in Joshua Tree tonight.”

WHAT?!  This is amazing.  We come out to the desert (from Malibu) for a few months…thinking it’s going to be super chill and quiet.

Literally, the day we move in we have a house guest arrive for from Bali, and she stays for over a week.  Wednesday she got on her next flight to Japan.  Now that it’s Thursday, Glenn and I are thinking we’ll have a quiet evening at home.  I had swordfish skewers marinating in the fridge (I’ll share that recipe soon), and it was results night for American Idol…yes, this is my idea of an ideal summer evening in our Palm Springs vacation rental.

Well, to me, life is for living and I’m always up for a change of plans.  So after a quick jump in the shower, and swiftly pulling together my best dive bar outfit–admittedly it’s been a while…Glenn and I were off to the Joshua Tree Saloon.

I was excited see one of my favorite cousins and his wife showcase their incredible talent, and hang out with my ridiculously cool cuz (and her 80 year old boyfriend) from Vegas.  Oh yeah…

So in case you thought what I mean by Divine Living is all about 5-star luxury…that’s not at all my take on my brand.  Living divinely means allowing life for the highest vibration of true living–whatever that is to you.

Divine Living also means seizing:

• • Pattern interruptions: Which should not be confused with bright shiny object syndrome.  Pattern interruptions support you in not getting stuck in a rut, to enhance bigger thinking and more expansive creativity.

• • As many fun opportunities that present themselves to you: This means we need to manage our time really well to fit in productive work time + play.  Remember, when you’re having fun you’re raising your frequency, which means you’re raising your attraction power, which means you will more effortlessly bring in new clients to your biz.

• • Diversify your portfolio:  Hey, if this tip is good for your finances, don’t you think it’s great for your creativity and femininity? Four Seasons are great (my husband always says he never met a Four Season he didn’t like), it’s just that, for me, my experience with my cousins last night at The Joshua Tree Saloon, was as high vibration as it gets…and THAT is what Divine Living is all about.

To find out more about Tawny Ellis and to get the CD I got last night visit www.TawnyEllis.com

Ahhhh, does it feel GREAT to be back in my creative flow!  Sometimes, if we don’t revere the feminine enough…meaning safeguard space for true creative expression…we can get to “thinking” too much about our business and “doing” too much in our business (both of which are masculine) vs. being in our business which is of course the feminine.

My husband, and chocolate lab–Ginger, and I are soooo enjoying Palm Desert, Califofornia.  The skies are blue, the flowers are bursting with color, the mountains are gentle giants.

Having been quite active over the past few months launching my Divine Living World Tour, I must admit, my physical feminine practices have been pushed to the back burner.  A.K.A, I haven’t worked out much and am in desperate need of a facial and manicure!

Today I remedied the “time to move my body” crisis, and went for an exquisite walk…check out my view was along the way…

Roses in neighbor's yard

Silhouette

Yellow in all her glory!

Ginger playing hard to get...

Mood elevating!

Breathing in the fresh air on my walk!

It wouldn't be the desert without these...

I love spending time in the morning with my sweetheart...

Truly divine!

How to Be a Rockstar In Business
By Gina DeVee

I watched Fergie perform at the Super Bowl, as I’m sure many of you did as well, and I watched her in her own her queenhood.

I know nothing about her life, I don’t even know about her story. But I’ll tell you what I do know. I personally was inspired by her not living in any form of a level of mediocrity with her performance.

I also watched the alien dancers in their glowing suits. So when you think about it, for aspiring dancers or singers, performing at the Super Bowl was probably a really big deal for those hundreds of, basically extras, right?

And do you know how excited we can get in our life, to be an extra?

Or to talk about any of our friends who are extras, or even watch the extras, right? Like, “Look at those glowing people. That must be really cool to be part of the Super Bowl.”

And so, I want you to look at where you’re setting the bar for yourself…

Have you forgotten about what

you’re really capable of?

Have you forgotten about what’s possible for you?

I looked at everything from the circumference of Fergie’s thighs, (yes I did), to her outfit, to her skin, to her hair, to the power in her voice, to the way that she held herself.

The fact is that she not only was the only woman on stage, she was THE act in the group, right?

She wasn’t a backup singer,

she wasn’t an extra,

she wasn’t one of many…

she was living her life.

And you are meant to live your life.

You’re not meant to live in a mediocre place which, by the way, mediocre can look pretty darn good, right?

That’s the Law of Relativity. What’s mediocre and what’s rockstar? I know that you know the answer to that. What is mediocre, and what is rockstar in your life?

Is it good enough for you, that you’re actually pretty happy with making whatever; $5,000, $10,000, $20,000 per month?

And we know it’s not about the numbers, but we know that the numbers have a frequency to them.

What level of frequency are you living at and

what level are you going for in your life?

Really allow yourself to have the whole package. Allow yourself to not be excited about being an extra or about being one of many.

Now this notion doesn’t come from the spirit of ego and standing out, and being a superstar for superstar’s sake.

It’s about the notion, the spirit, of being a superstar “for such a time as this”.  It’s because of your life purpose, because of what’s meant for you. It’s also about not only just being of service in an energetically low-frequency way.

You don’t have to be wealthy OR have a great man.

You can have both.

You can be wealthy and you can change the lives of others. We can be transforming lives differently, better, more holistically, more thoroughly, and ultimately completely.

The opportunity I see for all of us today is to become conscious of:

What level have you decided is

good enough in your life?

Are you really “Fergie-ing” it?

Are you really owning your place in this world? Are you really allowing all of the opportunities and the level of abundance and the level of power to flow through you in such a way that other lives will be uplifted, transformed, changed, and healed, because you decided to focus on being the greatest woman you know how to be?

Have you decided to focus on absolutely living your destiny, with no shoulders hunched over, and no “I’m not good enough,” and no “How could I,” and no “It’ll never happen for me.”

Push your shoulders back. Lift your chin.

Be the Queen you are.

There’s no lack of inspiration, cheerleaders or coaching advice on how to become successful. But I’ll tell you what even the greatest coach cannot do is want it more for you than you want it for yourself.Reach out and utilize all of the skills, all of the tools, all of the resources that are available for you to be a rockstar in your business, for you to be your own Fergie and for you to claim your queenhood.

I invite you to look around and see who, what, where, when, and how you need to go to the next level in your life.

Invite yourself out of whatever level of mediocrity you might be in and let yourself evolve, expand into owning and claiming your rightful place as Queen in your life.
