 _I hope you've enjoyed the SacredSexyU Twelve days of Giftmas as much as I enjoyed putting the proverbial 'gifts under the tree'!
The last offering I have for this twelfth day is two-fold: a poem and a wish. Also, I've decided (just now!) to extend ALL Giftmas offers through 12.31.11, to allow for more of you to take advantage of some amazing deals and offerings. You can do so here.From my heart to yours,
Enjoy!Love After Love
by Derek Walcott
The time will come
when, with elation
you will greet yourself arriving
at your own door, in your own mirror
and each will smile at the other's welcome,
and say, sit here. Eat.
You will love again the stranger who was your self.
Give wine. Give bread. Give back your heart
to itself, to the stranger who has loved you
all your life, whom you ignored
for another, who knows you by heart.
Take down the love letters from the bookshelf,
the photographs, the desperate notes,
peel your own image from the mirror.
Sit. Feast on your life.
That poem has touched my heart in so many ways, for many years. I used to carry it in my pocket until it got too tattered and worn. I hope it touches your heart, as well!----------------------------------------------
My wish for you, in 2012, is that you commit to loving yourself better than you ever have before. That you treat yourself and expect others to treat you like the royalty that you are. That you claim your cosmic sovereignty in new and exciting ways. That you become a more fully-expressed version of the you that you truly are. That you shed any old, outdated expectations, lies or false beliefs that may have served you for a while, but now hold you backThat you, when the year is over, look back, smile and say "WOW! What an amazing year!"
With love and gratitude for each of you who this year has made my life more meaning-full, color-full, and adventurous as I could have ever dreamed, I wish you LIMITLESS JOY, BOUNDLESS GRACE, and INFINITE OPPORTUNITIES to SHINE LIKE THE STAR YOU ARE.In joyful appreciation,
Lisa Carmen

 _Early on, I missed a day (whoops!) so now I'm catching up by offering TWO great offers... one is a contest and one is a crazy-deal.
OFFER ONE!
On the EIGHTH day of Giftmas, SacredSexyU gave to me...
It's a SacredSexyU Haiku Contest!
WRITE A HAIKU about being SacredSexy... what it feels like, what it is... what you are in your most sacred, sexy potential... you get the idea... whole, strong, power-filled, bad-ass, soft, tough, beautiful YOU!
All entries will be posted for anonymous voting tomorrow. The one with the most votes wins a $75 SacredSexU Gift Certificate!
If you remember, a haiku is a three line non-rhyming poem with syllable count 5-7-5. They are the easiest, most fun little poems to write!
For example...
Autumn moonlight--
a worm digs silently
into the chestnut.
Trusting the Buddha, good and bad,
I bid farewell
To the departing year.
Everything I touch
with tenderness, alas,
pricks like a bramble.
On your mark, get set, HAIKU! Post your haiku on the SacredSexyU Facebook page by midnight TONIGHT to be entered in the contest to win a $75 gift certificate!

Sha na na na, na na na. Na na na na na!
Remember that episode of the Brady Bunch where Peter's voice was changing. Instead of leaving him out, they all recorded the song together anyway, "When it's time to change, you've got to rearrange..." Well, I apologize in advance, because now you will also have it in your head, but I've had that song in my head all morning, because I know for me, it's time to make some important changes around my health and wellness that I've been avoiding like the plague. When I turned 40 this year, I finally admitted to myself that my body is exhibiting some 'wear and tear' as a result of the lifetime of nonchalant choices I have made, the stubborn refusal I have shown to give certain things up, and frankly, just some plain old immaturity. "You can't make me." I'd say to myself... yeah, that's right... so stubborn I won't even let ME tell ME what to do. I'm a hedonist, dammit! Well, our bodies are wise and intuitive messengers, and while they may initially nudge us with whispers, when ignored, the whispers turn to shouts, the shouts turn into disease, chronic pain, dangerous, life-threatening symptoms... the body says "REMEMBER ME? Care for me. Love me, dammit. Listen, lady. Without me, you're nothing." And while I'm a big believer that we are far more than our bodies, let's admit it. They do supply us with the ways and means to exist in this super-fun time-space reality and do our super-fun human thing. Sure, I'm looking forward to being an ethereal spirit body someday, but right now, I'm here, in this body, and yes, Peter, it's time to change. Soooo that being said, in the interest of transparency, what greater way to be accountable to these necessary changes than to share the journey with you. I ask you to join me, as witness, as I embark on my 2012 Wellness Overhaul. Yes, it's an Overhaul. The baby steps were getting me nowhere. Don't get me wrong. I DO believe in baby steps... I see them work, in many, many cases, in my own life and the life of my clients and friends. And SOME movement is always better than NO movement. But what I need right now are BIG LEAPS OF BOLDNESS. I'm putting this out there also because I know once it's 'out there', I have to be accountable to more than just myself. And that makes me stronger and bolder. (Right now, it makes me a little queasy, but I'll get over it.) I invite you to follow my journey. Even better, I'd love for you to do more than follow. To allow my determination to get really, super duper healthy, to finally pay attention and care deeply for this body, and to prove so with action, to makeover my life, inspire and ignite your own necessary changes. Join me. Any big challenge is easier when tackled with friends. You in? Lisa Carmen Creator/Coach SacredSexyU Feel free to reply privately to this email your bold declarations, or post them on the SacredSexyU page if you're into public proclamations. Either way, let's support one another, so that we can together have the MOST AWESOME YEAR EVER.
I'll be getting specific about my plans and practices for wellness in 2012 in future emails, blogs and recordings. Stay tuned!
