"I have been blown away by the enthusiasm and passion that Tara brings into this world. Anyone who knows her would say the same and sees that her presence is infectious. She has taught me that I deserve the best out of life and by taking care of myself is of utmost importance in order for me to be the best person I can be for all those around me. I make it a priority to get facials, pedicures and manicures and yes buying lingerie! I have officially marked that on my calendar every month. It’s amazing how good that can feel! It’s the little things in life that mean so much, and Tara is that gem you find on a long stretch of a sandy beach. Thanks so much for your incredible insight into life and its pleasures. I love you." - Stacy

Can you own Your Perfect?

Yes! You can own "Your Perfect." My guess is you know you can too. If you have a version of perfect that fits you, than who am I anyone or else to tell you that you can’t own Your Perfect?

It turns out it's not a cut and dry case though. In fact, the English dictionary says the idea of women owning their perfect is wrong. And we're going to challenge it!

You see the very means which we use to communicate, the English language, doesn't allow for us to own Our Perfect. Well, I have decided to fight to get that changed… for all of us. And I could use your help.

Let me tell you the full story... When I coach women through "The 3 Women System," my clients find “Their Perfect." It’s the definition of what their version of perfect is for themselves.

I discovered my perfect when I began creating Elegant Femme. So recently, I decided to release a new coaching program, and I knew exactly what to name it!

Your Perfect was just what women were experiencing with "The 3 Women System," and so the name was born… Your Perfect Coaching Program.

BUT, I realized almost immediately when I typed it into a Word document that spell check told me and everyone else that you cannot own “perfect."

I shared my belief that women could own their perfect last week on a telecall - and the result was a resounding YES, as women from across the World emailed me saying, "Yes Tara, I want to own my perfect."

So this gave me a brilliant idea. What if we as women go to the authorities themselves and give them a chance to amend their error?

I am considering starting a petition of 1 million women who are ready to own their perfect. So tell me, what do you think? Is it possible to own YOUR Perfect? Are you ready to take off the mask of perfection and truly live Your Perfect? I want your comments, and I want to know what you think. Will you sign this controversial petition, and do your part for yourself, and for women everywhere?

Are You OK?

Today I want to challenge you. Are you up for it? Come on. I promise this will be very easy and fun. The best part is you will feel great if you follow this simple process. 

It is a little exercise that can get you to DO Something. Too often I see people wait. Wait for tomorrow or wait for when they feel they DESERVE it, maybe when they are truly successful or when their weight is perfect. So let's skip the waiting shall we?

Ok are you ready? Take out a piece of paper. Preferably a nice piece of note paper that looks special. Not the back of an envelope:) On the top of the paper write down this phrase

Things I Want to Do

Then I want you to write down 10 or more things that you want to DO. Sounds easy right. Well hopefully it is but often many women have a hard time doing this. So just write down 10 things you would like to do. Here are some examples…
  • Ride a bike.
  • Go to Egypt to see the pyramids.
  • Take a hike up the mountain you drive by on your daily commute.
  • Call your old college roommate who you have lost touch with.
  • Volunteer for a local charity (make a wish, habitat for humanity, your church, whatever charity you are drawn to).
Now this is the fun part. Think about which of your 3 women you need to honor. All you entrepreneurs out there may want to honor your Frenchie or your Indie. You get the point.

I want you to look at your piece of fancy paper and pick one that excites you and honors the woman inside who can use some attention. Now today, right now take action on it. Yes do it, you deserve it!

If it is something elaborate like a trip then make a call to a travel agent and get the ball rolling. If it is a hike or something you can do this weekend then plan it and even more importantly do it.

 Make it a must do for you! Make yourself accountable to the feeling you have inside that knows this is something that will make YOU feel great.

If you don’t do this it’s ok.

The question you should ask yourself is "Are you OK with just being OK?"

My guess is no. You deserve more.

Change Your Plans and Find Your Balance

             Vs.                 

Can I be personal just for a sec?

Recently I completed something I had been thinking about for years. In essence, my very well thought out plan was ready to be unveiled.

The work and planning that went into this was pristine and it was going to be a complete success.

If I went forward with it lives would be changed. I had committed to the plan and I was feeling I had to follow through, so much was already in motion. I felt like I couldn't stop.

But there was a problem. My planning did not take something HUGE into consideration.

You see yesterday was the birthday of my first born son Mason. He passed away from pneumonia back in 02. Please don't feel sad when I say that, it was one of the most beautiful gifts of my life. It taught me compassion, and I needed to remember that gift of compassion for myself yesterday.

So here is the lesson and the mind shift you can put into place today to make the “RIGHT” choices.

It will help you avoid getting into the cycle of no time with too many things to do and feeling like you are on a treadmill with no OFF button. The truth is you do have a choice and so did I.

After I looked at what I was about to do yesterday I realized it was all business (New Yorker for the newbies;)

At first I thought it would be ok because this is always a very powerful day for me. In fact some of my biggest successes have actually materialized on this day.

Then as I was taking my walk to the beach yesterday I thought about my spirit (Indie;).

Sometimes one of your 3 women is in the zone and can almost dominate you. It didn’t happen to me this time, but it almost did.

Rather than letting my New Yorker take the stage, I decided to honor my Indie and take some time for me.

I changed my perspective just a little and noticed that I was in danger of allowing myself to get out of balance.

By acting quickly you too can make a “change of plans” that best supports your ultimate vision, the authentic YOU.

We have these opportunities every day. Sometimes it is as small as taking 5 minutes to get up from your desk and taking a walk to go smell some flowers in your garden.

Other times it is something even more monumental that is so obvious that you just have to say YES to you.

Honoring these times will give you what you need and are missing in your life, a true sense of balance. I encourage you to keep your eyes open when these presents show up in your life. Ask yourself:

"What can I do today to make a “Change in Plans” that will allow me to really take care of myself?"

Have a beautiful day and please hug the people you love.
