New Year New You…
Oh I hate this saying, I’ve been seeing it a lot lately and it really bothers me. WHY-you ask? Because it implies that you “need” something you don’t already have to be wonderful. I like “New Year Real You”…even though it doesn’t rhyme. Our society is constantly telling us how we NEED something NEW to BE better. And the truth is, we need the REAL you. The “you” that already fully exists underneath OLD ways of thinking, OLD habits, OLD ways of operating and showing up in the world. It is about uncovering our Brilliance- not obtaining it! What you need is to let the real you OUT… let it shine, dress it the way it deserves, treat it the way it deserves to be treated, honor yourself as you are…and you WILL see the light you already have within become brighter and stronger…more glorious than you ever imagined.
So as this NEW YEAR is upon us…What will you do to unleash, expose, reveal to the world the REAL YOU? How will you show up authentically?

am I a FROG?
Am I a FROG?
Today I ponder the metaphor of the frog in the boiling pot…you know the one. If you put a frog in a pot of cold water and put it on the stove, slowly heating the water. The frog gets use to the temperature gradually and never really notices how hot it is actually getting, until it’s too late...i.e.: cooks himself. Terrible story I know. I don’t like animal cruelty stories, but I don’t know of another one that gets my point across as much as this one does. So what I ponder is this:
What is your boiling point? Do you even know how much pain you are in? When was the last time to stopped, looked around, and noticed how uncomfortable things have become? What will it take to JUMP? Or will we ever?
Well…I like frogs, but I don’t want to be one, especially a cooked one. SO I’m jumping! There is something in my life that I have become “used to”. Recently I looked around and recognized that the pain was greater than I realized. Being Authentic in my life is HUGE for me. It is part of what drives me in all areas of my life….but one. It’s that one area that until recently served me well (TRUTH = I was good in warm water)…and now I’m quite aware that It’s become too hot…unbearable really. And I’ve got to jump...
So what about you? What area of life area you sitting in a pot of warm water? And what are you willing to do about it?
