Amplifying, Alignment and Appreciations

Posted by: | Comments (1)

This has been a week for lessons and growth.

I’m all for lessons and growth…matter of fact I welcome it with open arms and always appreciate it, but that doesn’t mean that it’s not challenging.

Lessons feel like crap!!  Actually, I take that back. I think it’s more appropriate to say that SOME lessons feel like crap. I have certainly had my share of sweet and delightful lessons that cracked me open and left me feeling more aware of my own brilliance.

This week’s lessons were a bit rougher than that, and had me wondering “what the fuck?” a few times over. On the grand scale of things they were minor events, but in each instance I had a big moment of awareness that I am grateful for. Matter of fact, I appreciate them so much I’m going to make them the focus of my Amplification Friday basking.

This is what I’m appreciating and wanting more of this week:

That feeling of discord I get that lets me know when something is out of alignment. It’s totally cool that I’m becoming so much more sensitive to it and only need a gentle nudge to tune me in that something is off rather than a big dramatic slap in the face.

Lessons, gently delivered in the form of kind caring people. It is awesome to have people in my life who care enough about me and what I’m doing that they take the time to share what they feel. It feels very sweet to be held in such a way. Being seen is awesome-even if I’m not really showing up the way I want to be. It is all good!

Source energy!! It’s constantly supporting and guiding me in my expansion. I know that every lesson is exactly what I need to move forward. It rocks to be able to experience more of who I am, and embrace and acknowledge the different aspects of me.

I’m also appreciating the opportunity to notice how my energy was around the problems and issues that came up the past few days. I got to notice when my energy was sliding into victim mode, rather than taking full ownership of what was happening. Standing firm in a place of being 100% responsible for my outcome kicks ass!

I’d love to hear about what lessons you are appreciating from your week!

Basking in this Energy Feels Good!

Posted by: | Comments (1)

It’s Amplification Friday so that means it’s time to do a bit of  celebrating and appreciating all the juicy goodness from your week.

I love doing this! It is a great way to wind up my week and start my weekend of right!

This week I’m celebrating what feels like a giant shift in my being. I worked through some tough stuff around finding my voice and my flow in my coaching biz. This was something that had my energy feeling really bound up and constricted, and once it shifted I had an enourmous opening and my creative energy has been flowing like crazy!!

I appreciate the clarity that I’m experiencing and the flow of words that comes with it. Choices and decisions are so easy when I’m standing in this place, and my path is obvious.

I’m celebrating the awesomeness that is my sweet loverman.  He is wise, kind and sweet, and seemed to know exactly what I needed to hear in order to shift back into a place of excitement and enthusiasm. He is all kinds of awesome and I’m thankful to have him in my life.

I am so very appreciative for the help and support of the amazing VA’s that I now have helping me create offerings and make my coaching biz more awesome. It feels wonderful to be supported by helpful, talented women who actually like to do the stuff I hate.

Yummy, Yummy!!!!  Basking in this energy feels good!

Come on in and celebrate with me. Share what you are appreciating in the comments below!

I appreciate the open, honest communication that is ever growing and expanding between me and my amazing lover man. The vulnerability and intimacy that we share with each other feels so right. I love how we are each able to stand in our truth and respect each other even when we are not in agreement.

I appreciate the amazing awesomeness of the freaky, unique, creative people that I call friends. Boy do they know how to through a party and celebrate life together! I am always amazed by the way we come together and the fun that we have. It’s totally Kick-Ass!

Amplifying, Basking, and Bouncing Around

Posted by: | Comments (1)

Hey there freaky people!

I have been deep in creative space this week with my head down working on a new project that I will be rolling out in September. My days have been flying by and my cats are feeling a bit neglected-they are so spoiled by my working at home and I haven’t been indulging them in all the belly rubs and play sessions that I ussually do- but it’s all good!

All I can say is that this new offering is going to ROCK!

I’m feeling really great about the way it’s all coming together. It feels right and my energy has been consistently expanding as I get farther into it-which is an awesome sign that I’m onto something big.  I know that it’s going to help lots of non-conforming souls figure out what will make their lives Kick-Ass, and that’s all I’m going to say about it right now.

I do have it together enough to know that today is Friday, and that means it is time to play Amplification Friday!

Join me in taking a few minutes to think about all the things that you’re appreciating from your week and to bask in the juicy good feeling of it. Then take a minute to share about it down in the comments.

I’m appreciating the amazing weather that we have been having here in Boston this week. The days have been so sunny and warm and the nights are perfect for sleeping. Working from my back deck rocks!

I appreciate my creativity flowing through me and out into the world.

I’m appreciating all the amazing fun people in my life. I’m lucky to have a wide variety of friends who are all so different, and bring something unique to my life. This week I’ve had the pleasure of spending time with so many of them! It fills my heart and feeds my soul.

I appreciate the abundance and prosperity in my life. The Universe does an amazing job at providing me with exactly what I need. I appreciate myself for knowing what I’m worth and investing in my continued expansion.

Your turn! What are appreciating in your life this week?

Appreciating my Appreciations

Posted by: | Comments (2)

I love Amplification Friday!

It feels so good to take a few minutes and to sit and reflect on all the awesomeness of my week and to bask in the juicy good feelings that come with it.

I admit that I sometimes need the reminder to do it because I get so caught up in my ever expanding journey, and what I still want to create, that I forget to appreciate all that is already Kick-Ass in my life.

Does that happen to you too?

Here are a few of my appreciations for the week.

I appreciate this amazing city that I live in. Boston rocks! It is beautiful, and full of awesome things to do.

I appreciate warm sunny days and sitting out on my back porch working. It’s awesome to have the freedom to do that!

Chihuly- The Boat

I appreciate the opportunity to see the Chihuly exhibit for free at the MFA. It was so beautiful to see the way he manipulates glass beyond what anyone else has done, and incorporates natural themes into his work. My sweetie and I had a blast. We were in divine timing and seemed to show up at the right places at the right time to avoid getting caught up in the ridiculously long lines to get into the museum and the exhibit. It was wonderful.

I appreciate the helpful people that I work with and all the support I’m given as I put together my next offering which will be focused on helping you break free from your pre-packaged life to discover your purpose and what you need to thrive. I’m really excited about this new project and the way it is unfolding. It feels amazing to have such clarity and a plan of action to roll it all out.It feels wonderful to be supported in this work and to gift myself with the help that I need to get it done.

I think I’ll stop here.
