We met at a workshop two and half years ago, journeyed through an amazing mastermind experience together and have enjoyed numerous conversational retreats that expand the soul. It is my pleasure to feature in this issue of Living Life like Never Before – Tamara Younker.

As a Transformational Presence Coach, I have the amazing opportunity to witness the emergence of my clients’ unique authentic presence, and how that presence then creates a beneficial impact in their relationships, work, community and beyond!

For more than a decade, I have known that I am a transformational presence in the lives of others, but it was only two years ago that I found the courage to leave my 20-year business career behind and follow my dream to become a Certified Coach Practitioner. Through my own journey of discovery, transformation and revelation, I have become aligned with my own authentic presence, and am now blessed to employ my awakened consciousness in service to clients doing work that is abundantly joy-filled and pleasurable. Now, my life takes shape through partnering with the greater potential wanting to emerge through me, and I’m most definitely living life like never before!

My specialty is working primarily with women solo entrepreneurs to determine the energetic structure they’re currently operating from, and the degree of energetic resources available to them with which to consciously create. I guide clients through powerful transformational processes to energetically reorganize into a more expansive way of being releasing habitual patterns that keep them stuck, and increasing their creative capacity and potency. For me, being of service in this way is living life like never before!

Tamara Younker founded her own business Awakening to Soul, The Art of Heartful Being in 2008. In addition to being a Certified Coach Practitioner, she is a Certified Mediator, Certified NLP Practitioner, and a Certified Reiki Master. She can be reached via Email (click here to email Tamara), or 970.631.8680, for private consultations and introductory no cost energy assessments.

100 Ways to Serve Others
This list is a great example that being of service is more about being than doing. If you like checklists that make a difference this would be one to keep.

It is my great pleasure to feature Kim Gray this week! Kim is an amazing visionary who is enjoying life while launching her new association, the National Association of Virtual Assistants for coaches (NAVAC).

While Marie and I were having lunch last week, she asked me to share how I was living my vision and fulfilling my dream. Living my life as intended has finally resulted in an amazing opportunity. I am working with a small team of talented virtual assistants and coaches to launch my new association: National Association of Virtual Assistants for Coaches (NAVAC).

In June, NAVAC will officially launch as an association dedicated to virtual assistants who support coaches. We will be transforming how our virtual assistants build their businesses using a product funnel model in 2010. In 2011, we will move towards our second phase of their business transformation — collaborative partnerships. I know how much work I’ve had to invest in this part of my journey, but I am more proud of those who have helped me along the way. You know, you can’t truly achieve your life’s dream without the help of others and God’s spirit blessing your efforts. NAVAC is a combination of my passion for serving others and my passion for sharing my experiences.

My experience as an administrative professional proved valuable as I built my virtual assistance business. But my experience as a theocratic student has helped me develop the important fruitage of the spirit. As a virtual assistant turned association founder, my life dream is coming true. My hope is that NAVAC will allow me to allow others to pursue and reach their life dreams. I give thanks to God and all those who have supported me along the way and into tomorrow!

Kim Gray is the Founder and CEO of the National Association of Virtual Assistants for Coaches and can be found at www.navacoaches.com or kgray@navacoaches.com

Have a great week and remember to live life like never before!

Until next week…

This week’s question came from a reader who asks the following question,  “I would love for the picture to be painted… what does a day, week, month and year of balance look like?”

A balanced day, week or year could look like…

• Time for yourself just before day breaks to enjoy an early morning meditation, walk or maybe a cup of tea before you begin your day.

• Scheduling your day, week or year with a gaps between each event creating a space to inhale and exhale the breath of life before you begin the next right thing – simply ‘be’.

• A healthy mixture of spiritual practice, a lifestyle filled with freedom and choice and a business or career guided by your life purpose.

• A delicious mixture of ‘being’ your best self and ‘doing’ the things that you enjoy.

Your portrait may be painted with different hues and shades of harmony, peace, joy and opportunities to grow. It may even be sprinkled with music, laughter, family or  simply an inward journey but most of all it is unique to you.

Living in balance means different things to different people. Mostly it’s about how you show up in your life.  I offer the following keys to begin painting your very own individual portrait of peace and balance:

1. Take the time to listen - Sit in quiet contemplation and ask your self the question, “What brings me peace and joy?” And complete the following sentence; I am the most happiest, when I am…
2. Courageously and gradually do more of what you enjoy to create the life that’s right for you, one that fuels your desire to step into your life and purpose without reservation.
3. Set boundaries around your time and choose mindfulness over multi-tasking when doing your everyday task – be present.
4. And most of all, enjoy the journey.

Until next week…..

This year, however, I simply stepped into the year confidently and courageously knowing that it is already magnificent!!!! Stepping into this year with confidence has allowed it to unfold with me doing things I’ve never done before or doing familiar things in a new way. The theme of the year found me. The excitement of living life like never before is so exhilarating that I invite you to journey with me!

So what would it be like if you could live your life like never before? Would you share it with others, the celebrations and possibilities? Well I’m going to do just that and would love for you to journey with me.

Each week this blog series will feature stories of people living their life aligned, reaching their dreams and being of service.  And there is a space just for you! Whether it’s planting a garden, bungee jumping, experiencing a sunrise at the beach or your biggest business month ever, we want to celebrate with you. Simply send your entries of 200 words or less to editor@inneralignmentliving.com and we will feature them in the Live Life Like Never Before blog series. Twice a month, in addition to the print version we will feature a special audio blog interview as well.

Have a great week and remember to live life like never before!
