Why.......I thought you'd never ask!

I have a dear friend that I met through my business.......she was granted a scholarship to my first women's series......my little grass roots one, that was around a table at my church........the beginning........:) And her finding me in the way she did, was meant to be......as some circumstances took hold in her own life during that series that made the "why" clear......and spending time with her is a gift to my life......we find ourselves at lunch, at a restaurant that takes 5 hours......just chatting away about all of the deep stuff.....and she had mentioned this life coach to me.....one I hadn't heard of yet.....and she thought I should check out her blog, and podcast.....etc.....thinking we had lots in common.....and she mentioned it to me more than once.....and I signed up for this woman's empowerment party.....and loved it, and initially I had applied to be one of her speakers that night.....she was raffling a free spot, and I thought I would take a swing.....but I wasn't chosen, and when I went to the party and event I knew I was brought there to LISTEN:) And there were so many amazing speakers that night that I found inspiring.....well fast forward this coach and I have connected, and I have done some sessions with her and we have become fast friends......kindred spirits in all of the ways.....having SO much in common......and at our coaching session last weekend, she asked if I would speak at her fall empowerment party!!! And well......it has been a quiet yearning in my heart.....hoping she would ask me at some point to speak at one of them......and it was on my bucket list and I am so excited and honored that she did.....her work and growth has been inspiring to me.....and this visibility.......will be so key for my business too both personally and professionally ......and it just feels all SO aligned......and as I sit and marvel at the pieces and connections......and events that seemed unrelated, but were not at all, because they led to RIGHT HERE.....I am humbled. Thinking way back to that first women's series......where I took a leap of faith.....not sure anybody would show up at that church with me.....but then they did.....and meeting my friend who led me to a pivotal piece of my next chapter, and getting the pleasure of watching her journey the last few years and all of the extraordinary things she has done......so my new friend and coach asking me to speak feels in line with ALL of it......and I am IN:) I launched my new dates for my second group of girls, and just created a Four Week To Fitness empowerment coaching series in person, that I am launching this summer! Will put it out there today! My kids are heading with their dad today and I am headed to a place in Pine Island to hear some live music under the full moon tonight outdoors with some friends......but first I must mow the lawn lol:) and then connecting with another client turned friend tomorrow for brunch......she is soaring also, and moving away from here, and I am soaking up some time with her......and well.......life is good......it is aligned.....it feels more like ME every day.....there are no places where I don't feel like me.......and I have fought all of my life for that......I am a little offbeat....and I get that about me;-).....I don't run in soccer mom circles.....and I don't say that as a judgement.....at all......I love that that calls to some mamas.....but that just has never been my calling.......I have always walked in other places......and found myself in other spots.....and maybe trying to fit in in earlier parts of my life.....trying to feel more normal.....lol whatever that means;-) And today finds me feeling none of that.....I am attracting a tribe, and have a tribe of people surrounding me that inspire me.....that elevate me....that nourish me......love on me.....and more keep showing up, and I adore the ones that have stayed for years.......and the best part of it all is that I get to be FULLY ME with all of them.......not shrinking or hiding parts away........and my life is following suit as a result......the I Got YOU GIRL chapter is so aligned with it all......I have so many business ideas sprouting under that umbrella......expansion on the horizon......and it all feels like I have been walking my way here all of my life......learning to work with parts of myself and being forged in fire for THIS time in my story.......perhaps, and gosh I hope, getting my karmic lessons out of the way early in my life;-) So that I can live a life that serves others.......using those lessons.......because each time I have been hurt, and learned profound lessons, my inclination and desire has been to use it to help others......and that is not something I take credit for......it is beyond my power......other worldly......I just keep showing up in it.......but what I can say is that I know with every cell in my body that it is true......and what I am supposed to be doing........and so as this year marches on, I am no longer holding back.......laying all my cards on the table, and going all in and trusting that the right inclinations will show up, the right people, the right doors, the right opportunities, the RIGHT everything......FINALLY and I just feel so damn grateful is all.......it is a privilege to get to use my pain for purpose each and every day, Amen:) xoxo Happy Saturday!!!!
