Choose your journey by honoring your heart enough to take the time to discover YOUR heart’s desire.   

I give myself and those around me a little more grace and channel my inner Scarlett O’Hara….afterall, tomorrow IS another day.

“The most powerful [people] don’t conquer their dysfunctions, quirks and potentially embarrassing insecurities. They seamlessly integrate them to make an impact on the world.” -Peter Bregman, 18 Minutes: Find Your Focus, Master Distraction, and Get the Right Things Done

Today more than ever, it doesn’t take extrasensory powers of observation to see how the urgent and unmet needs of our fellow humans have impacted our entire world.  We, the collective “we” the “we” that is all of us, have been so busy being productive we forgot to peek outside our bubble to see how we might do good by meeting the urgent needs of our neighbors.

No doubt our lives are a bit more complex than a USPS change of address form.  However, the reasons we need to make the time for reflection, reconnection and recommitment is no less simple:  We don’t want to miss anything.  It’s OUR life and we need to deliver in the right place.

Take all this information and make a plan.  Most importantly make room in your current life to move in the direction of your best life.  And while you’re at it, have your cake and eat it too.

Life is so full!  Sometimes it feels like busyness, but life is full of tiny moments that mean something if we let them. If we notice them.  If we honor them.  Slow down.  Regroup.  Allow yourself a few moments of peace each day.   Notice.  Breath.

What if taking parenting classes prior to becoming a parent were a given?  Not because it was state or federally mandated or because someone was assessed as “at risk”.  What if parenting classes were so socially and culturally accepted that it is something you just do?  Like childbirth classes. 

To grow we must change and to change we must push ourselves outside of that zone.  To get to a life more fully lived we have to LIVE, not just float or exist. 

I love living in the exclamation.  Life is exciting, even when it’s hard and I’d rather stay in bed.
