Our forties and fifties are a glorious time of our life! Let’s face it ladies, we’re wiser to life! We can choose not to play in the bullshit and decide who we want to play with. We’ve paid our dues.

In your heart you know. You know there is something more for you to do in this lifetime. You’re hearing a calling for more – a longing to matter. The foundation of the world you have always known is shifting restlessly. Flashing visions of possibility, or perhaps the full potential is fuzzy and unclear. You just feel it at a gut-level. Your soul is calling.
Today, I invite you to stop and check-in with your inner fire. Is it burning brightly or getting dimmed by the crazy gusts of life? Is your fire guiding your daily choices? Do you know what feeds your inner fire? Most importantly, do you intimately know your inner fire?
The dawning of each New Year brings dreams of new possibilities and hopes for what’s next in our lives. We call out to new visions… Yet, so often the New Year is accompanied by resolutions that quickly sputter into hollow declarations that get lost in the busy-ness of life. May we burst forth into 2015 – full of big energy, exploding into the world with nature’s rawness and beauty.

If your heart isn’t dancing every day, don’t wait another day. Life is too short. Declare yes-to-you now.
Today I’m declaring a Yes-to-Me Day! As a coach, I know how important it is that I ‘put on my own oxygen mask first.’ If I don’t take care of me – from a heart, soul and body perspective – I won’t show up whole for my clients’ needs.
As I reflect in gratitude on the whole week, I am thankful for the ways I have been able weave Yes-to-Me into the flow of my life.
