entering 'The YEAR OF Faith'

12/9/2017

 
Picture

​For the last few years I have declared a theme for the year. A few years ago it was 'the year of ABUNDANCE'.  I wasn't even sure of what that meant until I reflected back almost a year later. I realized that I got a house, my BFF (Louie, my pup), increased my salary and had the community of soulmates that I have always longed for.  It was indeed a very abundant year.

2017 is and was 'the year of LOVE.' I learned what it's like to receive unconditional love and even more importantly, I learned what it's like to practice giving unconditional love. Neither are for the faint of heart.  
​
As I get ready for this next year, 'the year of FAITH.'  I think that means having complete trust and confidence that everything always works out for the highest good for all. For someone who likes to feel she's in control of everything I think it's going to be a very interesting time. What's the theme for your 2018?  I have faith you know what that is for you.

"May your choices reflect your hopes not your fears." - Nelson Mandela

Ready to fly

9/7/2014

I say I want to fly but am I really ready to let go of old assumptions and beliefs that have kept me safe for so many years?  It is a constant struggle for me to let go of the illusion of control.  I find myself in the endless cycle of getting something new and letting go of something old ... and the worst part is the judgement that this isn't normal. In reality it is very normal, and more than normal, it's natural. It is how nature works... and it seems to me that nature gets something.  So the question becomes, do you want to fly?

Please join me August 5 at 6pm in San Francisco

Every day we experience the uncertainty, risk, and emotional exposure that define what it means to be vulnerable.  Based on the pioneering research of Dr. Brené Brown, this work dispels the cultural myth that vulnerability is weakness and argues that it is, in truth, our most accurate measure of courage.  Vulnerability is indeed at the core of difficult emotions, but it is also the birthplace of creativity and innovation, authenticity, adaptability to change and accountability – the key elements that every business needs to survive and thrive.

In Daring Leadership™ you will learn how to:
  • Model vulnerability and transparency and expect it of others, creating a climate of risk-tolerance and unfiltered trust.
  • Normalize the discomfort of courageous conversations and master the art of giving, receiving and soliciting engaged feedback that moves people and processes forward.
  • Re-humanize the workplace and eliminate shame and blame as management styles.
  • Cultivate an environment where empathy is a valued asset, accountability is an expectation rather than an exception, and the human need for belonging is honored.

Life is a practice

Under duress, we do not rise to our expectations – we fall to the level of our training.
- Bruce Lee

I love this quote but I felt it needed a slight modification....

In times of stress, we do not rise to the level of our expertise, we fall to the level of our practice.

What is worth practicing?


Time to blossom

2/8/2014

The cherry blossoms are starting to bud.  It's always a sign to me that spring is on the way.  And it's a beautiful reminder how nothing in nature can be rushed.  The cherry blossom will not bloom until it's ready... until it's more painful to be closed than it's scared to be open and vulnerable to the unpredictable elements.  It's time for you decide.... stay closed for another year or open up and drink in this one and only life.

The Year of Abundance

1/8/2014

 
Picture
It's hard to believe we are a week into 2014.  The start of a new year is a time to reflect on the past, dream for the future and be grateful for the present moment.  There are so many very good methods out there that can help you do this.  My go to is free and I learned it from my dear friend, Kris of Kris Gleason of Sea Change Coaching .  It's called the High, Low and Awkward. What was the highs of the year, the lows and the awkward moments; what did I learn about myself in each of those moments and what could I do better?  Then I allow myself to imagine what this coming year will have in store for me... maybe a safari in Africa, hopefully  furthering my studies and healthier relationships.  Therefore I named it the "Year of Abundance."  I wish you a very abundant year as well.

The Year of Surrender

12/20/2013

At the beginning of 2013 I spent a lot of time and probably a lot more money on books, trainings and coaching to get clear on what I wanted for my life in this year.  I named it, my year of surrender.  Whenever I felt lost throughout these months, unsure of the next step I always came back to the surrender theme.  Now, I am sitting here immensely grateful for all the abundance that was manifested over these 12 months.

I am mostly thankful for the lessons that I only had to learn once.  I am hopeful that some life long lessons will not have to be repeated this coming year.  And lastly, I learned that liking where I am right now, in this moment, was the first step towards getting the life I truly wanted.  Happy Holidays everyone! See you next year!
