Taking The Big Leap

It's happening. The train is rolling, it has gathered steam and it is too fast to stop it now. I am officially taking the BIG LEAP. I have done the planning, downsized, fretted, fear-faced, worried and wondered. I have meditated, mediated and all but medicated, myself through the transition. I am motivated, agitated and exhilarated all at the same time.

After years of dipping my toe in the water of taking Faydra and Company out into the open, I am doing it full-time. I am scared as hell and exuberant all at the same time. I know I am ready and I know that what I want, wants me.

What amazing times. It has been like expecting a child who is looooong over due. I want to meet this "person" that has been baking inside of me and is ready to meet the world. I want to show her off and take her on play dates and marvel at her magic.

Every day leading to this point has been important and necessary for me to become who I had to be in order to do what I have to do to live the life I was meant to live. Each and every step I have shared with you as I learned along side of you. Yes, even coaches use coaches. We especially use them because we know how valuable they are.

If you have ever thought about following your heart and realizing your dreams. I wholeheartedly encourage it. It is worth the struggle, the fear and the effort.

You can do it, I know you can and so do you. Dare to dream, but triple dog dare to live your dream.

My Jealousy, Her Triumph

I am green with envy, I am a jealous monster and I love it!

I have a friend who is realizing great success right now. She is manifesting so many things in her life that I can barely keep up; but be certain that I am trying to.

Not two weeks ago she thought that things were crashing down in her life. She had some major setbacks and needed the "life coach." I did my best to prop her up just like she does for me when I am in "woe is me" mode. She made a spectacular self-preservation plan to take two weeks off from work and take care of "her."

Well, two weeks later she has gotten more than one amazing career lift - she has accepted new opportunities that are lighting her fire.

At one point we were talking on the phone and she said to me, "I knew this would come. I knew all the hard work would pay off." That sparked something in me. It sparked me into action. I have so many ideas and potential projects partially developed. I want them to happen. They will happen. I know they will happen.

I am about the work of making them happen. Each day brings opportunity. Be prepared each day for what you want to come. Operate as if this is your day. Make the plans, do the tasks, take the actions. Even if your big break does not happen today, you will barely notice for all the work you did this day.

Fill your day with promise, submerge your senses in promise. Feel your spirit rise in the warm shower and as you put on your best clothes and look great. Taste the promise in that healthy breakfast that fuels you for the day. Hear the uplifting words of a CD that resonates with your positive mood. See the promise of your dreams as you witness the beauty in this world as you make your way through the day. Touch your future in the hand that you shake as you meet someone new who could be the contact you've needed to make your dreams a reality.

My jealousy and her triumph is getting me closer to my goals.
