Loren says in her book Life Tuneups “believe that all things are attainable, and that you can be the real you again, not just on a good day, but every day.”
That statement would had been pretty foreign to me a few years ago. I lived a life that I thought I had to hide the real me from the me that faced the world outside. At the time, I seemingly had so much our society tends to define as success. An investment banker in Asia with all my material needs met and vacationed in the best spots: scuba diving in Maldives, hiking in Nepal, golfing in New Zealand, biking in India, etc.
The truth was I wasn’t happy. I was living by the assumed rules of my family, culture and society. Something was missing. When my father passed from cancer, I finally walked out of the industry in 2002 . It took me a few years of self-exploration, letting go of old beliefs and assumptions and discovering what is the life I truly want. It wasn’t the easiest journey at times especially because I lost my mother and sister to cancer during this period. But it was nonetheless an exhilarating journey with teachers, mentors, and friends like Loren showing me, not just telling me, showing me what is possible when we dare to allow ourselves to dream. I’m grateful everyday to have people like Loren, and her husband, Shore in my life who are true inspiration to me.
I now live in Los Angeles being the real me and doing what I truly enjoy every day. I have a commodity futures trading business. But my true joy and meaning is in the philanthropic work I do with a number of non-profit organizations, as well as my own non-profit, Beyond Wisdom which brings awareness to the public that true health and healing goes beyond just curing symptoms of our dis-ease.
And of course my work as a LoBella facilitator! Nothing makes me happier than to provide other women opportunities to connect, especially with themselves and to know how truly beautiful and powerful they are! And most importantly, give ourselves the chance to dream, dream big. Dreams just might come true!
