Dancing in the Rain

When was the last time you danced in the rain…or have you ever? Twice in the last two weeks, I threw my arms up open wide and twirled in the rain. Both were beautifully warm summer showers and it felt amazing!


What I noticed about myself when I did this, was that all-consuming feeling of gratitude, the power of the universe and…surrender. Yes, surrender. I took long deep breaths as I held my face to the rain and let it take me. Wow – was it cool!

Having spent the last six months getting my coaching certifications, I had the opportunity (and took it!) to do some personal development. Several themes came to the surface about how I’ve been living my life for the past 5 years or so.


First, I realized that I have been in a state of “holding my breath” most of the time. Of course I breathe and often breathe deeply. I’m talking about a sort of “holding pattern” with my emotions. The past five years have had many challenges, and many blessings too. I don’t know if menopause has anything to do with it, but I have kept my emotions on a rather even keel. Or at least I thought I had. The truth is, I was numbing myself and holding all of my fears, worries and anxiety in the pit of my stomach. Eww!


Second, I realized that I’m really good at being “busy”! Being an entrepreneur of two businesses, raising 4 daughters and maintaining a household kept me busy. It occurred to me during my development that I don’t have to be this way – geez, what a concept! LOL. While I love what I’ve been doing, I have begun to craft my time the way I want it to be spent. I am finally understanding what balance is…or at least I’m getting there!


Finally, I realized that I have been playing life at a three-star level, and girlfriend, I am a FIVE-star lady! So what does that mean? Well, let’s start with panties. Have you ever worn your panties to the point where there are holes in them and the elastic is so worn that they droop down to your crotch when you walk? Yep. That was me (oversharing! LOL). And guess what? All of those panties have now been replaced by silky, luxurious panties that feel GREAT! I didn’t even bother to donate the old ones – into the trash they went.




Living my five star life only started with panties. I am constantly looking around for ways in which I’m living at the three level. A pan, for instance. Yesterday I tried to clean a pan that was crusted with burnt popcorn. It was an old pan – at least 15 years old – and it was stuck on but good! So, I stopped myself. I marched that pan right out the side door and dumped it in the garbage. Ahhhhh. It felt so good!


In what ways are you living life below five stars?


One thing has come from this and that is, dancing in the rain (or in the kitchen or at my desk, or in the car…you get the idea) is going to be happening on a daily. Why? Because it makes me happy. And, after all, don’t we all just want to be happy?

How to Write Your Future into Existence

By Claudia Loens • July 27, 2021
One of my favorite manifestation tools is writing a detailed description of my vision. I’ve used this technique to attract major changes into my life (my husband, our dream home) and minor changes (new wardrobe, new job, a car). Perhaps it’s because I’m a writer with a deep passion for words and all their meaning, but this is a very easy way for me to design my life. Want to design and attract something in your life? Here are the steps you can use to write your future into existence:

How I attracted my Ideal Partner Through Law of Attraction

After a disappointing first attempt at marriage, followed by a dysfunctional relationship, I went to counseling in my early thirties. I was determined not to repeat the patterns I’d had before. The one thing that I knew without a doubt, was that I NEEDED to be a mother. Being an auntie to all my nieces and nephew and all of my girlfriends’ kids, I knew I wanted my own. I even thought about adopting or using medical means to get pregnant. I had a deadline for myself of the age of 40, which was quickly approaching. Still, I had faith. One of my closest friends, Annie, once said to me “Claudia, when you meet HIM, your WHOLE life is going to change!” I didn’t believe her, but I hoped… Enter Eddie.

Taking the Leap

By Claudia Loens • May 28, 2021
I was that kid in elementary, middle and high school to whom other girls came to for support and guidance. I was that young adult who listened to friends and gently offered advice (usually over cocktails or coffee!). I was the business consultant who was a leader and a mentor to peers and newbies. I became an instant mother of three beautiful daughters. I was their mother in place of one who couldn’t be, and their mentor. And soon a fourth blessing was gifted to me through birth. I became an entrepreneur, teaching and helping others achieve their marketing goals through my other baby, Wordflirt®. I branched out with my best friend, Karen to start a wellness website so we could teach others about the benefits of CBD through our marketing and our workshops.
