"Hello Pretty Powerful

I’ve always been pretty powerful in my own little way but I found that from the point where I went to university and up until now I had totally lost touch with the real me. Yes of course I’m still the same old Leigh but I feel like I let that sparkle fade a little… You see, I never made time for me - everything was about other external factors in my life (work, deadlines, friends, family, my relationship… and so on and so on…). I never had time to do the things that I loved to do, or just to sit and be quiet and have some good ol’ me time.

When I found out about Pretty Powerful I was really sceptical but totally impressed by the way the lady who was chatting to me. Her enthusiasm and passion for life as well as the whole philosophy of “being you – only better” was completely contagious! I was like “HEY, I want that to be me! I want to feel passionate about life, but not 80 or 90 % - fullstick! I joined and have not looked back…

The course has been going really well, at one point I fell sooooooo behind in my makeover! I kept making excuses (I’m too tired, maybe the pace of the makeover is too fast, I have to spend time with my sister before she goes overseas, I have to spend time with my mom before she goes home, I’ll detox my cupboard tomorrow, etc etc etc!!!!) WOW! SO MANY EXCUSES!

I made a decision to ask Sam to please put the course on hold so that I could take a step back and start again from where I jumped off the makeover bus. You see I know that this is just the perfect thing I need in my life right now. I need to stop getting caught up in the whirlwind and really live life and love life!

I’m really loving the makeover from the daily inspirations to the reading and even the action challenges (which are continually pushing my boundaries) and WOW am I enjoying the me time! I’ve taken the idea of the worry box and brought it into my relationship with my boyfriend. I sat down with him and we both listed things we wanted from our relationship like love, happiness as well as things that we didn’t want and wanted to get rid of such as lack of flexibility, disorganisation, not thinking as a couple. From that list we thought of solutions to fix these things and discussed all the issues in a really open manner. Once that was done I posted the good things on my clipboard to see everyday and put the list of bad things in the box and hopefully it stays there!

This has turned into quite the essay, haha. But ladies before I love and leave you I’d like to leave you with a quote by Michael Althsuler  The bad news is time flies. The good news is you're the pilot.

Make me time a must in your daily life and I’m sure you won’t regret it."

Before I started the program I knew that I needed a big wake-up call, Life just felt a bit stagnant and I knew there were things that I needed to change but didn't know how. And then you came to my rescue!!

I always think its strange how things "happen" because when I met you at the Women's Show at the CTICC..I wasn't even planning on going but had a free ticket in my copy of the SHAPE magazine..and I wasn't doing anything that day so thought I would just check it out as a sort of spur-of the-moment thing.

My best part of the program are the action challenge's - it forces you to DO something and when you see the results it leaves you with such a good feeling. I am starting to get out of my comfort zone and do things that I would have before said no to, purely due to the fear of failure. I am experiencing the "ripple effect" you speak about and it
is actually amazing to see how such small things can have such big consequences.

Anyway, I am hoping that if I focus my attention and energy on the pretty powerful program it will help me to make the right choices and decisions.

Its such a good feeling knowing that there is someone rooting for you everyday:)

Thank you for signing me up as a member and allowing me to experience things that I have up until now- been too scared to.

Pretty Powerful is just that.... Meaning it has turned this pretty woman (Annalese De La Rey) into a Powerful Woman. Every Manual, Tool, Hint or Advise has positively inspired me, expanded my knowledge & put the passion & motivation back into my life.  I have grown & developed a deeper sense of self-worth. 

I have reclaimed control over my life (intellectually, emotionally & financially). 

I will no longer accept defeat !!!

I live my life everyday being motivated to take hold & to take action, to make my dreams come true.  My goal is to do this in the shortest space of time. 

I've started to journalise on a daily basis everything that I'm grateful for (no matter how big or small).  For example its strange how we all take breathing or any of our senses for granted... !! As a result my health has improved tremendously.

I handle daily stresses with ease.  I've learnt that its vital for "ME TIME", daily. Life is not solely about working - its also about rewarding & treating Myself. As selfish as it may seem ~ I put "ME" first.  I need to Love Myself first before I can Love anyone. I needed to be able to be comfortable, enjoy my own company & relaxing alone before I can enjoy being in anyone else's company. I'm on the path to cleansing & healing my heart of past hurts.. In so doing, I'm making room for new unconditional Love & Empathy towards others.

You have given me the key to open doors to richer, happier & everlasting Avenues.

Sam ~ thank you once again for the wealth of knowledge you've imparted to me.

Light & Blessings...

Annalese  De La Rey

Dearest Sam and Cat
 
Today I got up and said to my mom - I have changed and something has shifted in my life. I for the first time am truely happy and contented no matter what comes my way. I look and see things differently then before. I am dressing different and have a confidence about me that did not exist before.My exact words to my mom was I have realized myself. What a lovely way of putting it.  
 
I am ever grateful for you both coming into my life and making the difference for me. I know I still have a long way to go and am looking forward to the relationship and money makeovers I am know both these I need desperately.
 
I am sold on Pretty Powerful and would recommend it to anyone that has lost who they are and looking to find themselves. This programme is a wonderful tool for learning to love and appreciate yourself and life itself.  
 
Thank you ladies - you are my hero's.  I would love to sit and have a cup of tea with you both when the programme is complete and share some more breakthrough stories with you. Let's make a date.
 
Loads of love and laughter

Hey Ladies

I would like to give you some feed back on the Mood Make Over Coarse.

Since I started the coarse I have definitely become more aware of my feeilings and felt a sense of ease when experiencing them whether good or bad. Its helped me trust in my intuition more. I have become much more accepting of my negative feelings or should I say kNOw feelings and listen more carefully to what they are trying to tell me.

My feelings are my friends and I am on a very productive path in getting things done more easily than before. I choose discipline!

Thanks very much and have a beautiful day

Warm regards

Hi there Sam, just thought I would drop you a line to say that the course is going great and is very thought provoking.

I have been a stay at home mom for almost 20 years now and feel like my life needs to become my own now. This course is helping me to work through some of the stuff that we as woman, wives and mom's just put down to ... oh well that's that then. I have been following a path of discovery on my spiritual side by going to weekly meditation classes, I have done a course in colour therapy as well as Reiki 1 and 2. I scrapbook every Friday (although I like to do that more for the chatting than anything else). These things are what led me to believe that I can be so much more and just because of my age it doesn't mean that it's all over for me. I also think that staying at home for so long and being at the beck and call of my children and husband has not been the best thing as you are not taken seriously and just taken for granted in the end. I had an occasion when my 21 year old told me that I have no real say in the home as I have no real job in this world and am just sponging off my husband. Whilst the comment is so vile it certainly is a wake-up call for all of us stay at home moms - we forget to add ourselves in the balance of the family. We are so busy making sure that everyone has everything that they need that it becomes second nature to us not to even add ourselves into the planning process.

Following your course has made me see that by being honest with myself about who I am and what I want and need is the beginning of my life as me. Today's action challenge - determine your values is something very dear to my heart as I detest having to compromise my values, it makes me feel physically ill.

So this is very exciting for me to do this part of the programe. I am also busy setting up a very small business for myself that I am very very excited about. I will be working from home using all my creative ideas and will keep you in the loop as to my progress. At the moment I am keeping my options open and am looking for all sorts of way to find me and express me.

I hope you have an awesome day!
Denese

Hi Sam

I was on the train, on my way to work on a dreary Monday morning, after another unproductive weekend. I clearly remember thinking that I needed something to “wake up” my life. I was on anti-depressants, sleeping tablets and popping Rennies all the time. I had a ticket to go to the Women’s Show the weekend past, but didn’t go for lack of transport. And there, in my in-box, was the mail from you, saying I had 24 hours left to sign up at the Women’s Show special price. Well, if that wasn’t the answer to my thoughts on the train.

Since then, I have weaned myself off all tablets, I have done the décor and planning for a Wedding and a 40th Birthday Party, something I love to do but never felt confident enough, I have de-cluttered much of my environment and I have a beautiful “My Space” at the back of the house.

I am very much into crafts and, although my day job is sitting behind a desk crunching numbers, I have begun to dream of selling my hand-made Teddy Bears, Catering and Decorating for Functions and teaching cookery to teenagers.

So, thank you so much for your wonderful programme and “WATCH THIS SPACE”.

Regards
Kim Heyburgh

 

Hi Sam,

The 90 day makeover for me is a priceless gift that I could have given to myself. It has thought me discipline, highlighted, value of life, how to live to the fullest. I have only one regret, why I did not do the" Pretty Powerful 90 day program" earlier.

Your pretty Powerful
