If this is your first visit with me I’ll begin with a nudge to begin not with this entry, but with my last entry – Journey to Wholeness.  Starting there will add depth to what I’m about to share – a background if you will to why Making Choices is a personal celebration of what happens when you take a stance to live the wholeness of your life.

It’s been two weeks since my re-commitment to design my “Work Life” first to serve my personal and spiritual evolution and secondly to meet my financial needs. I’ve spent the better part of those two weeks stepping back and looking at the options before me. Imagine standing on a country road in the middle of nowhere with three possible roads calling out.

There’s the road I’ve recently traveled. That one holds big adventures, personal affirmation and oh yes… lots of doing. I can already feel the adrenalin kick in as I contemplate this road. I feel my heart race and my stomach tighten as I think of big goals, long to-do lists and… the absence of ME. Been there, done that. While this road holds many rewards it also requires a pace so fast that I miss out on the scenery, the simple moments and a connection to myself. No thanks.

This second road beckons to me from a world I’ve moved in for 24 years yet recently stepped away from. It’s a world filled with positive people – each one on a quest to achieve their deepest desires. Curious about what this world still holds for me, I stepped back in just last week.  While certain elements felt familiar and fun, it provided a mirror for me to see just how much I’ve changed in just one year. I may venture down this path now and then for the right client or project, but this road is not the path that honors my promise to do the work that deeply supports my personal and spiritual evolution.

The funny thing I notice about this third road is that I’ve been on it since the first of the year when the profile of my ideal client or project moved into alignment with who I was attracting. The people I am serving are playing a significant role in bringing the planet back to its natural state of contribution, collaboration and abundance. It’s my client Jennifer Hoffman whose book, 30 Days to Everyday Miracles, is changing lives all over the world. It’s Pat Pearson, who has been bringing her psychologically based, life-management strategies to direct selling women for more than 30 years. It’s Carolyn Cooper, a gifted energy intuitive whose heart is as expansive as the impact of her work. It’s Peggy O’Neill, a professional speaker  who has the heart of an angle, the courage of Goliath and stands tall at 3’ 8”. These clients are perfect for me.  As I help them grow their business, my life is changed – nudging me further down my personal path of transformation. Cool… Fun… I love it!

So my nudge to you dear reader is to simply TRUST. To step toward what you want by saying NO more often – no to the project, the job, the client or the request.  Because in the place of letting go of what doesn’t serve you, you are simultaneously moving toward your heart’s desire.
