New Year New You- Oh how I hate this....

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?

..for the love of...

It. What's your "it" ? What do you for the love of it? I have pets, sit on the screened in porch with a glass of wine, journal each morning, put my face towards the sun in the winter months to remind me of what I get to have again, plant seeds and bulbs and water them at dusk...

The things I do...for the love of it...is who I am. In my best moments I am at peace, filled with a peaceful joy and fully content with life. I embrace what is, while tending to my future.
What Ive learned recently is how I'm most in love with my life when I'm fully in the present moment "while" tending to my future. That hit me last week when I was speaking at the Women's International Day Event in Denver...I was SO in the moment, connecting to those beautiful faces mirroring back to me the connection we had. I wasn't thinking about the future or the launch of my new speaking career, or any business this talk would get me. I was connecting to what I love...for the love of it...and in that moment, I was the best of me. And in the short week or so, it's like when I feel the dirt under my nails as I plant the bulbs, or the sun on my face while there is snow on the ground...More Wonderful things are coming up...around the corner...on its way.

So for the love of...whatever it is...Empower the possibilities of "it"...and witness what follows.

For "it" is a beautiful thing.
