I flew in to Toronto last week to be one of the Bachelorette’s in a Charity Auction, benefiting one of our partner charities on the Red Carpet Dreaming Tour – The Canadian Centre for Abuse Awareness (CCAA).
The CCAA do amazing work at raising awareness about the true cost of neglect and abuse. They support over 130 organizations across Canada, including children’s services, victims’ services, shelters and other agencies that deal with over 200,000 children, women and men whose lives have been affected by abuse.
The event was held on Thursday, Feb 3rd at the prestigious Capitol Event Theatre in Toronto, On, Canada.
Global News featured the event. Scroll to 11:45 to see the recaps. I am in blue. You can see me raising my arms and then I am in the background later in the clip. Enjoy!
It was totally amazing – the food, the music, decor, the crowd… and of course all the bachelors and bachelorettes looked sensational. But mostly… piles of money was raised. The final numbers are not in yet but at LEAST $25 000 was raised. YAHOO!
Some of the featured bachelors included Pro baseball player Drew Taylor, Olympian Nicole Forrester, Champion Boxer Fitzroy Vanderpool and Miss Universe Canada Elena Semikina. All 4 were very gracious and humble. Gotta love it! Now THAT is true super stardom… living your greatness and yet staying human. WHOOT!
My dream date package included a week vacation with Ultimate Living, anywhere in the world; a dinner for 10 at Tappo Wine Bar and Restaurant in Toronto on May 25th with a private performance from me follow a giant blow out party (and yes YOU can come) and a VIP ticket to our big Red Carpet Fundraiser Show on May 29th in Toronto where I will sing to him on stage in front of 500 people, live streamed across the world! The package and I were auctioned off for $1200… all of which went directly to the Canadian Centre for Abuse Awareness.
And of course when it was my turn to be auctioned off, I came out singing “Big Spender!” Had a blast working that catwalk
Such a great event! So honored I got to be part of it.
I wanted to pass along a simple but important message as you embark into the New Year. Most of us reflect on the stuff in our life from the previous year that didn’t work and then decide to make a change. This decision is great BUT the trap I often see is people then behaving out fear – pushing, rushing, doing things they THINK will work, seeking out a quick fix, etc.
There is only one thing you need to succeed in the New Year – YOU! What I mean by that is by you just BEING your true essence.
To give you an example to clarify: I have known since I was born that I am meant to perform but spent most of my life doing everything other than that. So for example, I would teach to make money to support my singing as opposed to just singing and trusting that opportunities would fly my way and that I would be paid abundantly for it. I never thought that just being ME was enough.
What is your truest, most divine essence? If you were to just sit and breathe slowly into your body and be very present, what would the still, small voice say? What is the talent or gift lying inside you that is itching to emerge? Are you doing what I used to do and spending your time doing everything but what you are best at so you can live your dream? Are the goals you’ve set for this year because you are trying to prove something to someone or because your divine essence is ready to express on a greater level?
This New Year, I really want you to know that YOU are enough. Yes just YOU! You are amazing my friend. You don’t need to be anything other than you. You don’t need to push or try. You simply need to BE and allow yourself to shine. I know it can be scary sometimes but the more you allow yourself to shine from the inside, the more it will radiate to the outside and the blessings will appear.
Know you are loved.
Love Cindy
