How Can I Be Happy
Start Feeling A New Story
I've been thinking an awful lot lately about vibration and my online 'voice'. Who do I want to be and what do I want to stand for in what seems to be a crowded marketplace? What is the story that I want to be telling, and believing about what makes someone successful?
What Are You Creating
What are you creating these days? Is it drama, chaos and bitterness… or rest, stillness, and joy?
There are so many times I have caught myself the last few years (sheesh! decades!) condemning myself for not being good enough, not being pretty enough, not being skinny enough, and not being rich enough…
Direct Me In Your Paths
'Direct me in the path of your commands, for there I find delight. Turn my heart towards your statutes, and not towards selfish gain…' Psalm 119:35-37 NIV
We Are Being Called Out Of Hiding
Ooooohhh!! Ladies, there is something very cool happening. We are being called out of hiding, out of the dark places where we have thought we could pretend to be less than we are.
Please, please find the places where you are hiding and make a decision to clean it up, clean it out and get on with being the awesome shiny goddess you are meant to be. Let's all do this!!
Why You Need to Veg…
For most of us, and especially for women business owners, we spend the vast majority of our time in the Important and Urgent category. This is known as 'fighting fires'. Every day we are scrambling to get done what NEEDS to get done NOW in our life and in our business.
We deal with client situations, we take care of the bills, we handle the kids and the parents and our friends and our spouse and… EVERYTHING!
And, if you're like me and my people, you're really REALLY good at it.
Maybe you even THRIVE on it. It can be a rush. It can be addictive.
The Key to Smoothing Out Your Business Cycle – Part 2
If there is ANYONE who has succeeded in your business niche, that means that you can too. You CAN make it work. You CAN succeed.
But you have to be willing to be very uncomfortable. You have to be willing to do what I call Fail Forward Fast. You have to ask for help – a lot. You have to find the people who have the knowledge and skills you need to build a business and to make it successfully, sustainably profitable.
We're going to talk more about numbers in the last part of this series. Today what I want to talk about is the thing that most entrepreneurs LOVE to talk about: your thing.
Y'know, the thing you do that nobody else can do as well as you. The thing that compelled you to start your business in the first place. The thing you love.
Unplug from Culture, Plug into Your Calling
Sometimes it is easier to escape into someone else's life than it is to deal with the reality of our own life. When we are hurting. When we are scared. When we are lost.
There is so much waiting for you. There is beauty and joy and rest. A deep rest so profound that every cell in your body will take a deep breath and slowly exhale in peace.
What If We All Believed That #ImEnough
In what may be the BEST marketing campaign ever, the all-female group, The Mrs have created a magic mirror that shows you WHY you are enough.
By the time the video finished, I was sobbing and smiling and reminded once again that we ALL struggle with not feeling like we are enough.
For some of us, it is a moment to moment battle, while for others it only rears it's ugly head when the going gets really tough.
Regardless of when it shows up, I've seen it enough in my coaching practice – tormenting the amazing women that I work with – to know that it is what we call a root. A core human wound.
The Perils of Being Super-Busy
I believe that there is something truly shifting with the energy this year. We are being called into our power in a deep, deep way. The Divine simply will not tolerate us playing small and hiding any more. Every place that we have been lying to ourselves about our magnificence is being exposed and called out. It can be mighty uncomfortable.
