(Did you know that if something in this post speaks to you, you can highlight it and share? It’s easy! 🙂 )
Bonjour lovely,
I set an intention to connect with you today, but my mind, usually brimming with ideas and things I want to share with you, went blank. Alas!
Yet instead of wringing my hands wondering what pithy or engaging thing I can come up with to keep you reading until the end of my (surely bound to be brilliant – ha!) missive, I got started.
What can YOU take from this, cherie?
Create forward movement before everything’s perfect.
Recognize that clarity often comes during action.
You see, waiting until everything is perfect has been one of my most favourite forms of subconscious self-sabotage. (Maybe you can relate?)
I once said that I didn’t want to move again until I was married. I was tired of traversing the globe alone and in the perfect scenario I’d created in my head, the next time I was standing in the queue at immigration, I was going to be WITH someone.
The problem was, my SOMEONE was actually on the other side of two more international moves! (Yikes! I could still be “Single in Spokane”!)
I’d also said that I didn’t want to publish my book until I’d collected 30 stories (and I was being quite a stickler about this). 30 was the perfect number, I thought.
But my book was really finished at 20 stories.
Now if I’d waited to find 10 more stories for my book, multiple hundreds of women would’ve missed out on big doses of inspiration to keep hoping, that my contributors and I shared this year.
take the chance,
make the voyage,
write the book,
get the thing out there, already?
Maybe you’re afraid of what people will think.Worried people won’t pay what you want to charge.
Afraid of leaving security behind.
Or haunted by voices that’ve told you to be sensible . . .
Or convinced you that you “can’t do it” (whatever “it” is) . . .
Or that it’s frivolous or silly to want what you want.
Maybe you have no idea where to even start . . .
Or you tell yourself that now’s just not a good time (it wasn’t last year or the year before either, but hey, who’s counting?) . . .
If you’re not doing, having or experiencing what you want, SOMETHING is in the way. And you have TOO MUCH inside you to let another year go by while it all languishes on the “SOME DAY SHELF.”RIGHT?
Well, guess what?! You don’t have to. You get to decide right now that the waiting’s over. You’re done with the excuses. You’re done with being afraid. That “something” that needs to move out of your way? It’s outa here!
Whatever’s going on (or not going on) for you, we WILL get to the bottom of it!
Let’s find out if we’re a good fit -> Grab an Inspiration Conversation with me.

PS. If not now, when? (Actually, don’t answer that. It’s most likely just one of your old faithful excuses anyway. Wink!)
