Updates on Life Coach Stella Vidal

Happy Spring everyone!

As soon as Spring hit this year, I immediately felt the energy go lighter. It is as though we all shed old layers collectively and emerged as lighter souls. I am not saying that it has been an easy ride. The ones that have embarked on the journey to seek truth and spiritual enlightenment, feel the planetary shifts much more vividly. If you are one of us, you may have felt as though your body is made of led some days, and yet others you feel complete alignment with the new Divine person that you are becoming.

Through meditation, silence, and being in touch with nature, we reclaim our balance and are able to face the demanding facets of our lives. Of course, our loved ones play an intrical part in this journey.

The month of April has been intense. I would like to share with you several things that are worth noting in my own evolution this month.

• I published my book 7 Intentions to a Happier YOU! on Amazon. It is getting outstanding reviews! Get your copy today for your mom and other women in your life. Oh, make sure to pick up a copy for yourself. I made the cover and the content men and women friendly and there is tremendous tools in it to get you back on track with the manifestation of your DREAMS! Here is the link:

• I was invited to be the MC for an annual gala benefiting the Transplant Foundation. Seeing that I lost an uncle (Tio Noe) because he had to live with one kidney and couldn't find a successful donor, I was honored and blessed to have done this event. We had a great time with live music, entertainment, lots of great people and fabulous food. I will continue to give back to my community by hosting these types of events. As I say in chapter 6 of my book, 7 Intentions to a Happier YOU!, I intend to give back to my community. My amazing husband was there to support me all the way. I am so blessed!

• I was able to also MC for a Joshua's Heart Foundation talent show that the volunteer children put on for the Miami Jewish home. The kids put on an amazing show, which included a girl prodigy piano player, dancers, singers and other fun acts. The residents of the home had fun and they were even clapping and singing to songs by the end of the show.

• If you're a parent you understand that your kid's blessings are also yours. My son Billy, auditioned to enter one of the top performing arts schools in the nation, New World School of the Arts. Out of over 400 students that applied specifically for chorus, only 14 were chosen, and Billy is one of them. We are so proud of him and are looking forward to seeing how God shapes this young man's life. It is worth noting that I had Billy start to meditate daily, and I have seen amazing changes in him. He is more confident, and more open to receiving the gift of his voice. He is starting to understand his purpose in the world. At 13, Billy will also vouch for the benefits that he has reaped by meditating consistently. Go Billy!

SO THAT WRAPS UP APRIL 2013. My life is about to take off exponentially and I will keep you posted of what I'm up to. XOXO Stella

SO WHAT IF MY AS$ IS NOT THE RIGHT SIZE?

ADVISE FOR GIRLS AND WOMEN...

As women, it's difficult to come to terms with our inner goddess. We live in a society that promotes purchased perfection, instead of raw dignified beauty. If you don't fit the mold of what is considered perfect at any given moment, you probably have doubted your own beauty and self worth. 

Our concept of perfection has shifted, and we no longer seem to honor people for who they are, but the fantasy they sell. Twenty years ago, the beauty of a woman was valued more by her ability to be the best she could be. That in itself made her sexy. Dignity was considered beauty. A woman who was not perfect, but was raw and not afraid to show her imperfections, was considered once a goddess. Today, a goddess tends to be one who can purchase her perfection, mostly trying to reach an idealized version of herself, that isn't based on anything subjective. Instead, her ideal is what society perpetuates and sells.

I began modeling in my mid thirties after the Mortgage Company I owned with my husband collapsed in the real estate market crash of 2007. My little boy saw me looking for a new job on line and he said, "mommy, why don't you model?" I thought, what a clever idea, and had my first photoshoot at 37, despite the fact that I had a Master's degree in Psychology and could have gotten a job in that field. I sent out my pictures to several agents, and, in no time I was being booked daily for shoots and television.

Being in Miami, where the modeling industry is mostly bathing suit and promotional modeling, I found myself competing for modeling gigs with 21 year olds. I got casted many times under the category of 20 something, to my she grin. It was a fun ride at first, modeling mostly bathing suits, and some fashion. Got lots of work and I was enjoying it. Going through the daily routine of being "camera ready," was almost like a game of dress up. It gave me the energy that I needed to come alive. However, what I wasn't realizing was that I began focusing too much on my physical appearance and almost concerned about not being "found out." My age became an issue only for me. Although God has blessed me with great genes, I somehow felt that I was misrepresenting myself.  Meanwhile, no one cared as long as I looked the part. The truth is that I had to accept and love myself at any age. No one was judging me as harshly as I was.  

After gaining awareness of where I was headed, I began nurturing myself again and got rid of my self deprecating thoughts that were keeping me bound.  I no longer worry about how old I am. I do not define myself by that nor do I care if you do.

I now workout for ME and how it makes ME feel. I accept the shape my body has at any given moment, is ok with me. I understand it is a sculpture. I am patient.  I work on it daily, and consider it my temple. I no longer judge myself by how big, small or round my as$ is. I simply nurture "it" as the one God intended me to have. I've also learned that I can not compare myself to other women. I will never be them and they will never be me. Our paths are different because we all have our own unique purpose. I now know my purpose.

At 43, I want to inspire you to live a full life. I want to see you acting as old as YOU FEEL. I FEEL 28 and probably always will. Go ahead and try to tell me it's not my right. I will continue exploring the limits of my existence and I sure hope that you tag along. If you don't I wish you well, but don't be surprised if you come back for more :)

Love that body of yours. Become the goddess that you were intended to be. Work on looking within and loving yourself instead of using your energy wishing you looked like someone else. 

 God provided each and everyone of us the spirit of a goddess. Don't let one more day go by without acknowledging that.  You were meant to be here. Understand that your body is the temple in which your goddess spirit resides. Love it. Love it some more. Honor it. Be protective of it.  Take a picture of you, and honor it as a work in progress.
