I Love Men

I just ended years of frustration with the opposite sex. I have put down my sword, studied the male mind, came home and told my man to plan his next surfing vacation. I feel so peaceful, free, complete.

Yesterday, I completed Allison Armstrong’s Celebrating Men course. Since awakening to the expansive power of my feminine essence, I have been searching for a course with this very name.

I am going to be very transparent. My minds ability to see the brilliance of women is uncanny; however with men I was finding myself too often frustrated, baffled … and pissed. Fortunately, I knew deep down that my frustration had to be my problem. If the feminine essence was drenched in divinity so was the male. I just wasn’t seeing it and I needed a course correct on men … bad. I got exactly that and then some.

I heard about “Celebrating Men, Satisfying Women” from one of my Nia students, the exquisite Cherie Martin-Irwin. Cherie told me how both she and her girlfriend met their future husbands three months after taking the course. These kind of results get my attention.  I looked it up as soon as I got home.

Sisters, if you are struggling with men or lack of men and suspect that you may have been poorly educated, this course delivers the goods. My being is now overflowing with all of the beautiful things I learned about men.  Allison Armstrong is the real deal. Her vision for the world is stunning and she is making it happen. She is elegant, professional and hilariously funny. By the end, women were weeping and in complete awe of men.

Since I am town crier for anything that will effectively end unnecessary suffering, I am a LOUD and PROUD affiliate for this program which means if you use this link (or simply tell them your heard about it from me) I get a share for sharing. Please know I am very appreciative.

I know so many of you on this list are national, so go check out the site and find the next course nearest you. For those of you in Seattle, they are having a free intro-course this Wednesday night 5/19, at 6:30pm.

Here’s to men and all of their golden generosity.

Burning to Return

Whenever the pressure to achieve feels like too much, I write down every single thing I want to do and think I should do. Then I burn it.

This move instantly returns me to the truth of my energy body.  Reminding me that my emotional integrity is more important and efficient than chasing after my list.

By burning it all up, I am giving it all up.  This creates lots of room for goodies, adventure and blazing intuition.  So much so, I am beginning to see the bubbling of overwhelm as a sign of sweet surrender to come.

What are your favorite rituals?

A Blogstar is Born!

After a wonderful jaunt with WordPress Goddess Shannon Kuykendall and design Goddess Nityia Przewlocki I am beside myself happy to announce la Volver Blog.

In true Volver fashion this Blog has some HUGE and beautiful desires:

I desire this blog be a beacon for goodness. Some of the things I will be writing about include pleasure, love, beauty, intuition, possibility, P*ssy, emotions, chakras, desire, self-love, truth, individuality, body, divinity, motherhood, flirtation, compassion, egolessness, creativity, sensuality, sisterhood, trust, celebration, energy, art, rightfulness and magic … to name a few.

I desire this blog to be as enjoyable as your favorite magazine. Where you will enjoy the latest of my adorable rants, “Returning” interviews with divine feminine/energy rock stars, “Dara’s Favorite Things” and general awesomeness that is sure to make our world a better place.

I desire to be a Top 50 Blogger.

Are you out there reading this?  Are you feeling a twinge of excitement?  Would you do me the BIGGEST honor and bless my blog with your three greatest pleasures du jour?  Right here, right now – leave a comment with three things that switch you to “ON.”  That remind you of your rightful place. That “RETURN” you to yourself.

OK – I’ll go first. Three of my most favorite pleasures are:

• A unique pair of shoes.

• A super warm bath (followed by sleeping naked between 400 thread count sheets!)

• An amazing Nia class.

What about “sex” you wonder?  Yes, sex is definitely one of my greatest pleasures – AND our culture is quick to equate the word “pleasure” with sex.  While sex is a phenomenally powerful pleasure, human enjoyment and sensuality encompasses much more than the sublime pleasures of sexual ecstasy.

So with that said, what are your fav-o-flav pleausures???  What do you LOVE about this physical experience we call life?

Beaming with appreciation,
Dara

Happy Birthday Me, Relationship, Blog!

How perfect that my blog is born on my 39th birthday! As I reflect on all there is to celebrate about my thirties, I can’t help but think back to my birthday week when I turned 29, which I still say was the most divine week of my life. I discovered Nia, finished losing 15 pounds, inherited enough money to pay for my Masters degree at Naropa University and had an amazing first date with my husband, all within a 7 day period. It was surreal.

Here I am 10 years later, living in Seattle, packing those 15 (or 20) pounds, married to David, with a 4 year old girl, a baby boy, Volver, Zing and LOTS of connection, laughs, friendship and love with my man. Marrying David and creating our family are certainly my greatest brags of the decade, AND I have two more that rock my world.

First, I radically trust myself: my desires, my intuition and my truth. RADICALLY. Second, my sister is one of my closest friends. After 30 + years of relationship strife, we now bask in the sublime pleasures of true sisterhood. I have Mama Gena to thank for both of these brags. She is no joke.

Happy Birthday to me!

Happy Anniversary David!

Welcome to this world Volver blog! May you be a beacon for all that is awesome.
