WOMEN LEADERSHIP

How 3 Serendipity Steps Create Value in Feminine Business and Your Life

Mermaids, innovation sprints, and surfing waves

For the people who never read my work before, or only read my poetry, I have to tell you a tiny bit about what I do. I design new economies. Ecological economies. Non-extractive economies. And womxn entrepreneurs and leaders understand the big wave of change best.

It’s all about community. Vibrant entrepreneurship. Purely natural materials. Tech. Fun. Beautiful products, locally grown, that will not destroy humans or nature in any way to be successful. And yes, be successful ourselves! Create value. Lots of values! And how I love my life, doing this!

So, what about serendipity, synchronicity, or whatever you want to call it?

Most of us know that we have been living in a 3D world for the past centuries. We only recognize material things as being length, height, and depth. Three Dimensions.

Well, that knowledge is changing now. We understand much more about the next two dimensions. 4-Time. 5-Space. We live in a 5D world. And we’re only just scratching the surface, my friends… How many dimensions will follow, nobody knows. But that we are on the way to evolve with 5D is clear in our times now.

I won’t make it too difficult, quoting quantum physics. I will just tell you with an example of last week what happens when you surf the waves of serendipity. The lessons are mighty clear for me. And hopefully after this story, for you too.

I hope you can use them in your life. The 3 Steps of Serendipity. Law of attraction. Synchronicity. Manifestation. Just plain nature and universal wisdom…

Innovation Sprint

Recently, I have been in an innovation sprint designed by Anna Blume. A pressure cooker, designing new products and a new brand with biodiverse, grown kelp. The sprint was initiated by the influential fashion designer and creative director Elena Nazaroff.

Hackathons like these are really great stuff. We overcome perfectionism. We open up to co-creation. We design, experiment and test together. And we get results super fast.

The first product on Kelpy.life is ready now. It is a skincare product. Before we will launch the first fabrics from kelp and design locally grown fashion. We’re going to change the world with products, you know. Products, local production, and education.

Kelpy.life is a platform for everything about kelp. Natural products. Webshop. But more importantly, local hubs of kelp producers in a community sense. The structure of the company will be open, so Kelpy communities can also sell products via this space in the future.

And of course, there’s education in the blogs and little films.

The conscious marketing is all about kelp, education, and love for the ocean. Why promote a product when you can promote a whole ocean and link your conscious, beautiful products to the magic of waves and whales? The products will be functional and effective. Connecting us to natural products, zero-waste packaging, and multiple uses with one product.

We are now only with women involved in the creation of Kelpy.life. And who knows if that will change. I can just say that it has been a swell journey so far! Thank you, Elena, Anna, Christiana Gardikioti, and Ayumi Matsuzaka.

Serendipity, Synchronicity

So, how does serendipity or synchronicity, manifestation or however you want to call it, come into this? Well, let me tell you how women design new things for the new world and attract their personal income streams. We manifest big time!

We started the week by making a field of intention. Very practically via zoom, because our five women-creators were in different locations. Anna, Elena, and Ayumi in Berlin, Christiana in Greece, and I’m in Holland right now.

A glass of water in our hands, drinking consciously. Our minds connecting to the kelp forests, the oceans, the fish, and the waves. Anna Blume showed the trailer of the documentary My Octopus Teacher, for whoever had a problem envisioning a kelp forest.

“In ideal conditions, kelp can grow up to 18 inches per day, and in stark contrast to the colorful and slow-growing corals, the giant kelp canopies tower above the ocean floor. Like trees in a forest, these giant algae provide food and shelter for many organisms. Also like a terrestrial forest, kelp forests experience seasonal changes. Storms and large weather events, like El Niño, can tear and dislodge the kelp, leaving a tattered winter forest to begin its growth again each spring.” — National Ocean Service Kelp Facts.

Drinking the water, connecting, laughing, and starting the process of the week. Nothing very fluffy about it. Just connecting to the field of creation as women can do so easily…

Mapping the Field

The week went on and most of the real work was done in Berlin. The women designed the product in a pressure cooker. From a distance, I contributed with zoom and phone calls. And I helped by mapping kelp and ocean contacts around the world to make it happen.

Mermaids

I write this story on a Saturday. The end of a week of manifesting consciously and unconsciously. And what happens? During the week we often teased each other about being mermaids. About belonging to the sea.

Elane was putting the kelp on her face all the time. Playing with it. Tasting it. She told us about her Russian mother who has no wrinkles although she is in her 70s. She always puts on a little on her face of what she’s eating. Yogurt. Cucumber. Tomato.

We laughed a lot and the laughter must have touched the universal field of consciousness. Because a few days later I received a comment on one of my older stories, “3 Magical Personal Development Tips from the Mermaid Who Climbed a Tree.”

I wrote it in April when we were in Ibiza. It is a story about a mermaid. And the girl Mey (9), who wrote the story with me, named her mermaid in the story Anna.

Only this week I knew why. Time is not linear in our universe. Things happen when the universe is ready for it. Things happen when you have learned your lessons in time and space and have aligned the puzzle pieces.

• Anna is the name of my soul-sister Anna Blume who’s is launching all the economic changes with me
• Anna is the name jenine bsharah baines feels a strong connection with. She’s the one commenting on my story. She’s the woman inspired by the mermaid to take the next steps in her life from a feeling of lightness

This is how it works, my friends. This is what happens when we align our puzzle pieces and work with the natural laws of attraction. I’ll give you three steps to make it work for you too.

It’s how I write my stories. I pluck them out of thin air. It’s how Mey got the name Anna. She plucked the name out of thin air also. It’s called intuition. And it can be found somewhere behind our rational thoughts and overwhelming emotions.

And people all over the world will be touched by our intuitive actions. Somewhere in time. When the universe is ready…

How to Apply the Law of Attraction

Let me first tell you that there’s nothing mental about the law of attraction. It doesn’t work by thinking about what we want. It doesn’t work with thinking at all. It works with love and fun and embodiment.

How I do it?

Step 1: imagining, sensing, embodying

I just feel what I want to create at a certain moment and then I envision the point in the future when it is already there and alive. I connect to that moment in time and really immerse myself in the feeling of that moment.

At the beginning of the week, I did that by imaginarily floating on the surface of the ocean. The waves take my body and play with me. Then I get active and dive deeper through the kelp. I lick the salty drops off my lips. I feel my skin being touched by the flows. And I feel the flows in my body as well. Laughter comes up and I laugh with the fish, the whales, the kelp.

Back on land, I envision a world where fishermen are growing kelp with 3D Ocean Farming. I envision myself wearing a beautiful dress of kelp fabric. My skin is without wrinkles because I sleep with a kelp face mask.

I feel with all my senses. I smell the ocean. I laugh with the people around me. I hear the waves. I see the sunrise. I taste the salt…

And I feel the Abundanism flowing through me and around me. Abundance. Like Nature creates it. Never harvesting more than necessary. Never harvesting more than half…

Step 1 is the important step of visualizing and sensing the future in the present. With all our senses open. With all our joy of being alive

Step 2: making waves, movement, in the present moment with what we have around us

For the rest of my week, I have not consciously been thinking about the ocean all the time. But I did make movements. Create waves with everything I have around me. My social capital. My international contacts. My local community.

I reached out to my local and international contacts to see who had useful information for Elena to get the kelp products started. I talked to many people. I connected dots in my mind to find the acupuncture points.

And the funny thing is that during this week, I have been writing a lot about the ocean. Poetry. Rational stuff about whales changing the climate.

Today, at our breakfast table, my life partner Mike just read a news item to me about a lobster diver near Cape Cod, who survived being gobbled up by a humpback whale.

I love how this works! The ocean is all around me this week.

Step 2 is making movement. Action. Waves. Seeing all opportunities around you that have a link with what you want to create right now

Step 3: my personal next step

For step 3, I land firmly in my own personal life again. The work I did for Elena and Anna and the others is voluntary work. Startups like this don’t have money to pay for my stories or my connections. But that doesn’t matter.

I gained lots of value for my personal mission, my personal passion, anyway.

This week gave me many opportunities. My project The Heroines with iCanay is fed by the examples we are now creating in the world. We need examples of conscious businesses being created by womxn leaders! We need to see it work in real life for others to be inspired.

My stories are gaining power now and I will publish many stories on the platforms of Kelpy.life, and The Heroines to give my work further visibility.

And I will help create many other businesses, linked to my stories, my personal name, and my Abundanism brand.

Our project and book Abundanism needed a website and I have been visualizing how to create that consciously for several months now. Apparently, the time has come.

This week, I received the offer to create the website with an expert. For free. My return capital is my efforts in the sprints. Feminine creation is magical!

Step 3 is landing firmly in your own life again. Taking your specific role in life. Creating your dreams. Doing what you do. No pleasing others. Just creating your life

And we will live by the sea. I know that now. We are taking steps to close some doors in Holland, sell our caravan and go nomadic. Staying in countries by the sea (Ibiza, Greece, Indonesia) for a couple of months to contribute to local communities. Write. Do. Connect. Inspire. And experience Abundanism.

All because of this strong connection to the universal field.

Life is amazing!

Want to connect? You can find me somewhere on our beautiful planet, with my hands in the soil and my eyes gazing at quantum leaps. Or find me via Linktree. Thank you, Mike, for adding your wise energy to my words.
