January Reflections: HOLDING SPACE FOR CHANGE

I just love the new year! It always gives me such energy and renewed hope. Do you get excited too?

This time of year is special to me because it sparks and supports so much of my healing and growing. A new opportunity has been given to us to begin again, to dream of something new, to plan for it (loosely!) and start the inspired actions to make that dream into a reality.

ON INTEGRATION: Stepping into New Identities

I can hardly believe July is over, but then again, it was a busy month. For me, the past month has been about integration: reemerging back into the world and social events as well as stepping into my new role as coach.

LIFE CHANGES: Blinded But Now I Can See

It’s been a few months since I’ve written to you. Mid-April, I withdrew from social sharing to reflect and incubate. In truth, I was afraid. At the time, I was confronted by some big, life-altering questions.

ON VULNERABILITY: Being Open with Ourselves & Others

Today, I want to talk about vulnerability and how it changed my life.

Before I saw Brene Brown's TED Talk, I falsely believed that vulnerability and emotions were signs of weakness. I falsely believed that building walls and being guarded would keep me safe from harm.

PLANT WISDOM: Out with the Old, In with the New

Did you know that when plants grow they shed leaves? As they redirect nutrients into the area of growth, the old leaves die and make room for the new. This is true for all cycles of life. There is always death before there is birth.

SLOWING DOWN: Reflecting on the Process

It's been an unusually slow week for me. I'm trying not to allow the quiet spook my peace. I'm not used to having all this time in between, and yet I must remind myself this is all by my own plan and design.

It is uncomfortable and unfamiliar. Growth has been my focus for so long.
