Working Together

You might notice a few little “badges” on the right side of this page.  Two will lead you to the wonderful website:  http://www.writingourwayhome.com, the home of Small Stones and other cool writing motivators.  Note the new “Small Stones” page on this blog where my  Small Stones of the January 2013 challenge are residing.

The third will lead you to my inspiration:  http://www.leoniedawson.com.  I first discovered Leonie’s website a few years ago and it has ballooned to a huge success for her, and in turn, for those of us lucky enough to play with all the Goddess courses and books.  I was so inspired by her practical approach to goal setting, and more importantly, goal reaching, that I followed her methods to start my business, create a website, and write my first book.  As a long time teacher, all of my efforts are focused on helping students achieve school success by incorporating the habits of visualization, yoga, positive thinking and manifestation techniques I have been weaving into my life for years, into the lives of students.  I have been so inspired by:

Leonie Dawson

Brene´Brown

Diana Lang

Louise Hay

Mike Dooley

Michelle Jacob (website on the way!)

Holli Rabishaw

Colleen Carroll

and the many others who inspire so many to find their true purpose and live authentic lives.  This can be done in so many ways and I want to inspire children to find the path that is their truth.  We are all unique and it is when we share that special part of ourselves that we leave an imprint on others.

Take a moment, explore those that have inspire me, or begin the search for your own inspirations.  It is by allowing ourselves to lean in to who we are meant to be that we become models for others.  Please share any information you find useful. Comments welcome.

Taking My Time

I am taking my time.  This is something new for me because I operate at high-speed, my Type A personality functioning best with lists, schedules, and immediacy.  I return emails promptly, phone calls a.s.a.p. and strive to fix all problems with ingenious solutions.  Breathing deeply is a struggle for me and sitting to relax usually results in immediate sleep because when my motor slows down, it just stops. 

Recently however, I have come to a realization.  Most situations are not emergencies.  Most questions do not require immediate answers and most importantly, time is precious.  So, I am taking my time.  I am training myself to breathe first, listen more carefully and ponder more often.  I have not come to this conclusion alone.  I have had many mentors along the way both virtual and those in my real life.  The books I read keep me focused on the importance of taking each moment as a special gift.

So if I take a little long to make a decision, to respond to an email, to text back and answer or to return a phone call, you now know why.  I am taking my time.

It is amazing what a little breath can do to quite a heartbeat, improve vision, sharpen hearing and to enhance perspective.
