Good bye 2014!

2014 was indeed one of the best years of my life, with everything that happened, the good, the not so good, the great and the ugly!
I chose to step into uncertainty and I was scared shitless! (excuse my French) I remember stating the year with enough rent for 2 months and to rent a car for 2 weeks and 600 in cash, no job, no prospects and too much pride to ask anyone for anything because I said I chose this I owned it! I had my book, I had my family, I had my friends and I had the Universe behind me full tilt and I stepped into Life and 365 days later I have learnt so much and will take the things I want to take into 2015 and leave the rest!

When we see that EVERYTHING is happening FOR US and never TO US, we see the tremendous
amount of Grace that our lives are filled with and we can nestle into that knowing
that - indeed, every-little-thing-is-gunna-be-alright - and even better than that,
everything is PERFECT as it is! So for today, leave the goal setting aside, leave
the achieving at the door and just reflect - reflect on this year that is gone.

What can you let go of? What would feel SO GREAT to be free of? What are you most
terrified to admit? Then - step into it and let it go!
We will open the book.  Its pages are blank.  We are going to put words on them
 ourselves.  The book is called Opportunity and its first chapter is New Year's
Day.
We are all moving ahead into 2015 - it's close enough. But for this moment, let
us think back about the year, let us reflect, take a moment to pause and really
give 2014 a conscious goodbye - and with it - the habits, stories and beliefs that
should stay with it. The first step to creating something new is letting go of what
no longer serves you. What no longer serves you?
Peace!

What is being of service? Looking upon another human being with kindness and compassion and not judgement is a profound act of service and though such a form of service lacks for whistles and bells, this expression of “service” comes from truly understanding the power of your soul and what it means to “look upon another with eyes of grace.” Carolyn Myss 1.

What Does Support Look Like to You?

Image
  You save yourself energy when you learn to ask people what they need, instead of assuming you know best then acting on your own impulses. Allowing people to define what support looks like gives you an ability to assess if you have the capacity to show up - Minaa B If someone asks you right now, what does support look like to you, what would be your answer? It takes self reflection , self awareness and more importantly a whole load of authenticity to answer. On the flip side, do you rush to support others without them even asking- there may be times when that is required, however many a time we assume that we know what others want and need. The times when we do assume, after a while a feeling of resentment builds because "how could they be so ungrateful?" or "why are they not seeing their need for my help?" the other classic is "they must need my help to show them because they clearly are not seeing that they need support" We continue to assume what othe

Sensible Optimism

  Optimism is usually defined as a belief that things will go well. But that's incomplete. Sensible optimism is a belief that the odds are in your favor, and over time things will balance out to a good outcome even if what happens in between is filled with misery. And in fact you  know  it will be filled with misery. You can be optimistic that the long-term growth trajectory is up and to the right, but equally sure that the road between now and then is filled with landmines, and always will be. Those two things are not mutually exclusive." Who told us that all the roads on the Journey of life will be smooth and bump free? And even if you knew or remember who told you, why did you believe it given what you know? What if the blessing, what if the growth, what if the joy is found on the rocky bumpy road? What if? And if it is, we can rest easier that the bumps and rocky roads are designed with us in mind, designed for us to grow, to learn, to live a life that is filled with varie
