How My Love Triangle with Ben and Jerry Got Busted + Big News!

by on 02. Dec, 2011 in Books, E-zine Archive, gratitude, happiness, Latest News, love, Make the Quantum Leap, new beginnings, Spirituality

Today I am feeling giddy, famous, and turned ON! You know why?

I am featured in bestselling author Gail McMeekin’s newest book,

The Twelve Secrets of Highly Successful Women.

I am often asked about my personal victories and failures along the road to success.
My training as an Olympic gymnast shaped me to be persistent, determined and resilient to the nth degree -all good things. But that same background made me extremely wound up, chronically exhausted and often lonely – as in, years of no one but Ben and Jerry in the bedroom. (Frisky, yes, but in an ironic way!) Clients and colleagues ask me:

 

“How in the world did you get from there, to here?”

Years after choosing not to get back on the bus and return to Ukraine, I boarded a dilapidated Greyhound and rode across country to Boulder, Colorado. I was on my way to attend Naropa University – a college founded by a renowned Tibetan monk. The experience stretched my mind and my heart immeasurably. I moved from a life of go, go, go to allowing, receiving and asking for help.

What a reality flip-flop!

Fast forward to 2010: I walked away from my booming Raw Food consulting biz of three years to answer my calling to write a book and speak on the stage. (My love triangle with Ben and Jerry was officially busted when my Hot Monogamy Manifesto came on the scene!) It was at a seminar for speakers that year that I met bestselling author Gail McMeekin. She was impressed by the fact that I had taken bold risks in my personal life to become who I am today by starting over from scratch – multiple times!

She asked if she could feature me in her upcoming sequel, The Twelve Secrets of Highly Successful Women. I was hugely excited and honored – and of course, said Yes.

And here we are. One pivotal decision (to not get back on the bus) has led me on an adventure filled with public speaking, business creativity, passion, pure love – and now the glamour of being featured in the sequel to an empowering bestseller!

What is the ‘bus’ that you are choosing not to get back on?

What will you do with your passion and creativity -make movies, make love in exotic places, write your own bestseller, raise babies?

When will you take your very first step? Today? Now?

Let loose the Jaguar Woman of Passion within you!

P.S. What does the bestselling author SARK (Succulent Wild Woman) have to say about the book?

“The Twelve Secrets of Highly Successful Women gets right to the loving heart of how
women are redefining success and building lives that are wildly creative and creatively
successful! I’ll be recommending this book for many years to come.”

Dear friend, here is the song from Steve Gold

You can listen to the sample here and download the full version if you like

http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/stevegold2

.

In my Yoga class this morning, a beautiful song was playing:

bent backwards, heart cracked open, feeling super vulnarable, on the wings on this song a vision comes to me

(and just from the sheer fact that you are on this page – this vision is for you):

An open field of flowers – yellow, purple, red.

And one yellow flower is being pushed upward by the black wet Earth herself.

And as the yellow flower unfolds – her pure song, her perfume is picked up by the breeze and scattered all over the open field.

And all the butterflies, and the mice and the bugs stop and sniff…sniff.

And each one squeels with excitement “We have been waiting for you for a long time!”

And they drink the pure nectar of this yellow flower.


Let Your Heart Be Known

Listen to the song above to transport you into an open field – your true self is  Emerging. Consider this message as the confirmation.

Enjoy the song,

with love,
Olga

Benefit #2: Effortless Weight Loss

by on 29. Mar, 2008 in Q & A with Dr. Green Apple

Olga: When I hear the word “effortless” it brings to mind a story about my friend Nicole. In the Spring of 2007 Nicole,
a successful financial consultant and seminar leader in San Francisco, lost 10 lbs doing a month-long raw food cleanse.
And the truth is that weight loss was not even Nicole’s primary INTENTION.
What Nicole really wanted was to REBOOT her personal life -
PURIFY the physical, emotional and spiritual patterns that have been limiting her FULL EXPRESSION of self in the world.
By the end of Nicole’s purification, she told me that WEIGHT LOSS was like a BONUS she got without even trying.

Dr. Green Apple: Yes, weight loss is normal for people exploring raw foods. If one has ever dieted, and 40 percent of women
and 24 percent of men in America are dieting at any given moment, one is probably familiar with how the mind can develop
an OBSESSION about what, how, when and where to eat or not to eat. It is believed that one has to work hard to lose weight.
And the reason your friend Nicole lost weight without even trying is because she did not deny herself food,
but instead allowed the incredibly POTENT enzyme-rich LIVING FOOD to WORK ON HER.

Olga: Are you saying that the raw food ITSELF will do the work of cleaning me out, whether my goal is to loose weight or
to TRANSFORM my whole life for that matter.

Dr. Green Apple: Precisely.

Olga: So the wise men and women are right, truth is SIMPLER than we think, not always easy though.

Dr. Green Apple: Maybe it’s not easy at first. On every Hero’s journey, one dives into the unknown and it can be a bit uncomfortable.
But as each of our stories has it, the guides and the SUPPORT always show up to take us by the hand and make it EASIER for us.
No one has to do it alone.


Olga: Thank you for that reminder. And that is precisely what my role is – assisting people in becoming more invigorated, balanced and fit
in order to MANIFEST their Hero VISIONS in the world.

Dr. Green Apple: Cheers to everyone’s greater EASE and SUCCESS!

Olga: Thank you Dr. Green Apple for another terrific interview. And I look forward to the next month when you reveal the last Benefit # 3.
