I believe your body is magic. I do.
You are continuously cycling through the neurohormonal phases that facilitate birth, growth and renewal. All you have to do is channel this kinetic energy into whatever area of your life you want to create change in, and allow the magic to happen.You can create new things in your life because of your body.This past year has been full of change and I have my body to thank for making it all possible: launching my book WomanCode 10 weeks early, my menstrual history-making appearance on Dr. Oz, going on a multi-city book tour, moving to a new home after superstorm Sandy, and my first year of marriage.
I’m so grateful for all that has happened with such grace and all along the way, you have been there with me cheering me on and encouraging me with your stories of reclaimed health through your experiences of my work. I want you to know this holiday season that I’m so thankful for you, your support, your emails, and our shared belief that our bodies are magical.
Since I spent so long living the WomanCode lifestyle on my own, it’s incredible to know that I have sisters living it with me now, all over the world. It’s been amazing meeting you at events and seeing you share the WomanCode message with your sisters and friends. Thank you to each of you who came out to show your support and bought books for your friends and coworkers. And to all of you who tagged us, tweeted us and let your community know about us - thank you thank you! It’s been a joy to think about future travels to different cities, knowing I can reach out and connect with more of you! I imagine us having a chat over a healthy lunch or taking a yoga class together, gathering with other women to share our stories. As I look at my 2014 speaking schedule I’ll look forward to meeting more of you soon!
I hope you’ll share my book WomanCode as a gift for the women who are most special to you this year. Sharing this message is about opening up a woman you care about to a new possibility for great things to happen in her life - because of her body, not inspite of it.I’m looking forward to another year with you and bringing you more of what you need to feel good in your bodies and thrive in your lives.
Of course everything that this company has become is based on this conversation that I’ve been having with all of you over the years. Thank you to each of you who have connected us with companies and doctors to partner with. I welcome all of your ideas to help us reach more women. I read your emails so keep em coming!
I believe that aligning with our hormonal patterns is the single most important thing a woman can do for herself and her success. I believe our power to continuously change is our greatest power as women. Not only for our own health but for our lives and the world around us.I believe in you.Thanks for being with me on the journey.
Happy Thanksgiving.
Love,
Alisa
