The Lake of Your Heart 💙
What would it be like for you to plunge (or even dip a toe) into the lake of your heart? Come join me in this Making Room For YOU experiment… To turn inward this Valentine’s Day (or any other day!) and swim around in the welcoming waters of the lake of your heart.
What a Foal Taught Me About My Leadership Presence
The main takeaway I got from the retreat was a teaching from the beautiful foal lying on the ground at my feet in the photo above.
Her teaching to me: that I am very, very trustworthy.
My learning since reflecting on the retreat recently: That since I'm so trustworthy, I can trust myself even more than I already have so far. I can grow into greater self-trust as I continue to grow into my leadership. (Not surprisingly, my clients also learn to trust themselves at much deeper levels through our work together. We coaches often coach on what we also need to learn. ;))
Finding the Celebration in You
“Life is a dance to the music within you.”
In the last few years I’ve found much better and more consistent access to the party, the celebration, the joy, the music within me. 🎉💃🦋
Permission to Be Kind to Ourselves
In the last few years, I’ve become increasingly fierce about promoting and validating qualities that have been labelled “feminine”, such as kindness and compassion, and therefore seen as weak or at best, secondary to, “masculine” qualities like rationality and logic. It's time for us all, as human beings, to own the power of these "feminine" qualities within us and each other, and using them for more good, for ourselves and for the world.
Becoming Your Own Best Friend ("OBF")
At one time or another, many of us feel stuck in a rut, wanting to grow into our bigger, better selves, but not knowing how. This can feel lonely, and scary too, since growing means changing, and changing tends to feel scary more often than not.
