SECRET MESSAGE SOCIETY

A day that didn’t go as planned and felt herky jerky was saved by my routine (which is a great resource I have developed) and by surrendering with self-compassion rather than trying harder for more. What I have going for me is beautiful and I can’t mess it up. Some days are just like this.

Dreams often live in Fantasy Land and they feel like they are just there to escape reality, so when you make a shift and start to really live your dreams in small ways it gets really exciting! My Spanish teacher is helping me initiate conversations with Spanish speaking acquaintances and I am seeing real progress. It feels like I am living my bilingual dream today!

Your dream doesn’t happen once you get there, someday maybe. It happens everyday that you say yes to it. Your adventure is here now. I share a story about arriving late at a dinner and the adventure that ensued.

What if you can’t always bloom where you’re planted? What if sometimes you gotta get a little further down the road to acquire some skills or awareness or confidence in order to bloom. I share about how I followed stepping stones that took me away from what I thought my dream was to be a writer and into teaching which I had little preparation for. And then teaching taught me things I needed and gave me insight into new dreams!

What worked before may not be working anymore. How to use burnout, fatigue and unwanted feelings as an invitation to realign with your dreams.

Feeling overwhelmed and like I couldn’t possibly muster the energy to get out of a negative loop I was stuck in, I tried a few things and landed on a way out that utilized movement and imagination.

Happy New Year! May secret messages always find YOU!
