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?

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.

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.

Ps. Watch the Video first. It explains the gift.

I was living a lie and hiding behind the mask.  Watch this heartfelt video and find out why I hid from everyone 

including myself.  This makes me a little uncomfortable posting this but I know I am not the only one who has 

done this. 

I hear from so many women that they are experiencing many of the same things I was.  They are overwhelmed, 

stressed, and lacking balance in their life.  

Watch this video to see how you can take the mask off.  Posting this makes me feel vulnerable and I would 

love it if you would tell me your thoughts.

So leave a comment and let me know if you can relate.  Have you ever worn the mask?  Are you still wearing it?

A little while back I told you not to set your goals for the New Year - so were you able to hold off?

Why?

You want the truth? Goals NEVER helped me, in fact they made things worse. I always felt MORE pressure, it just seemed like another to do list. Can you relate?

There was actually a much deeper issue. On the surface everything seemed to be 'perfect.' But underneath I was completely overwhelmed and my life was way out of balance! I was so lonely inside that I remember locking myself in my life size closet with a glass of wine and crying softly.

I felt so guilty for not being happy, but there was something missing. I wasn't living MY life. I was an impostor.

Why am I telling you all this?

Because there are so many women out there that are suffering. I know what it's like. I was trying so hard to be perfect. My days were spent with an overwhelming to do list! I needed to slow down, get off autopilot and start taking care of myself, but I had NO idea how.

* My relationship with my husband was suffering.
* When we had sex, it was bland.
* I felt insecure and my body image was in the tubes.
* Money was coming in, but I had NO idea where it was going.
* I felt totally out of control in my picture perfect suburban life.

I remember how bad it hurt... There was a space inside me that wanted more, that knew I was capable of being happy and of living a life of my dreams...of my design. I needed to unlock, unleash and discover the REAL ME.

But how?

I stopped with the goals and started asking new questions.

* What made me feel excited, sexy, and inspired?
* What made my heart race and flutter with anticipation?
* What was my vision for my life?

This was the first secret I discovered to living the life designed for me.

It's your life. Not anyone elses. So don't plan a resolution list or a life for that matter that is for someone else.

Ask new questions.

In the next couple of weeks, I want to share it all with you, no holding back! But first I want you to tell me, Why do you think women are suffering in silence, trying so hard to be perfect? It breaks my heart, there are so many women out there who are feeling this!

Why do women try so HARD to be perfect, what are your thoughts?


With love and beauty always... Tara Marino

“So this is Christmas and what have we done. Another year over and a new one...” reflects John Lennon, in that beautiful seasonal track that we hear so much these days. Do you believe how quickly 2009 has flashed by? I think many of us are looking forward to the new year and that breath of fresh air that it seems to deliver. How was 2009 for you? Will you be looking forward to rebooting your system and leaving the past behind, or will you be looking to capitalize on an existing, refreshed outlook?

2010 represents hope and new prospects and this is a great time to really analyze your position in life and what you want to do to make a difference, both for yourself and for your loved ones, as you go forward.

So what's next? Resolutions of course… Well not so fast.

You see in my experience not everyone is ready to put the pen to paper and set up the next year of their life. We know that 97% of people do not follow through on their resolutions. Why is that?

· Are they setting too high of expectations for themselves?
· Do most people want to fail?
· Are they scared to grow and step into the person we want to be?
· Does society make it too hard to stick to commitments?
· Are they just bad at planning?

You know in my opinion our problems do NOT lie in the questions above. In fact I am sure they don't.

I have found the problem to the New Year’s resolution failure rate, and it’s not your fault.

I am going to tell you to do the opposite of what my peers and SOCIETY are saying to do. Don’t set goals for 2010... yet! Not today… Not tomorrow… maybe not even next week. First we have something else to do. I will follow up in a few days to give you some more insight on when, how and how NOT to set up your New Year's Resolutions for 2010.
