Look what I did! My registration page is finally available! Thanks for your patience while we got all the buttons to work properly.

We also made a few changes to the class material so that it serves more of the people who were asking about it.

Is flexibility one of your superpowers?

All humans have emotions, even me. It’s part of life. Even though I know so much and I am a life coach, I still have feelings.

Yesterday was a day of disappointment. I let myself down. Expectations were not met and all the feelings came - frustration amidst sadness and a little grief. But it did not get to the level of darkness I have had in the past.

The feelings and emotions did not overtake me as they have in the past. Before when I would have a bad day… well, honestly, the bad days ran together and were not distinguishable as “days”.

Negative emotions would overcome me for weeks at a time.

But that was not the case this time!

I have learned processes and moved my spirit to a different place where I am stronger than my feelings. I still have them. They are necessary as part of human life. But they do not control me anymore.

I still watch with some awe, and complete gratitude, as I move through my feelings in hours now instead of weeks.

Hope returned with renewed confidence in my abilities, trust in my adjusted plan of action, and peace in my heart before the night had ended.

I’m going to be teaching some classes about how I turned my life around.

There are people out there who are where I used to be with a dark gloomy cloud hanging over you. It feels like trying to swim through thick peanut butter. Maybe not impossible, but not easy and not fun.

It doesn’t have to be that way. We can change the peanut butter experience to gliding through clear calm water. We still have to swim and sometimes it will be upstream, but it is easier and more enjoyable when it is water.

Knowing how to experience feelings in a different way supports my internal superpowers. I am better able to relate to others, find solutions to problems, and communicate. My relationship with myself is a happy one now and I am able to lead like I never could before.

Other side effects of learning to process/manage emotions and unleash your superpowers are clarity of thought, ability to make decisions quickly, and engaging others to cooperate more effectively.

This class is going to go deeper than my previous free classes so this one will have a small investment. I am more eager to get my clients results than ever before so it’s still going to be extremely affordable, only $27. If you want to upgrade to VIP and get extra time after the class and access to the replay it will be $7.

Ever think that if your problems could be classified as challenges, what are they challenging?

Today I had a challenge - it challenged my commitment and asked me, "How committed are you to this dream?"

I answered, "Enough to show up anyway."

It's about that time of year when statistically most of us give up on our goals, and by extension ourselves.

When you give up on reaching for your goals it's like you are giving up on your heart and it creates a vicious cycle of destroying trust and hope. This is not the way to achieve your goals!

DON'T GIVE UP!

You are worth the effort! Keep trying!

One of my best skills is not giving up.

If you want help, I'm here for you.

If you want extra skills of your own, I can help you there too.

Whether it is how I gave birth to 4 babies at once while having 2 young toddlers...

How I keep our marriage happy after 28 years...

How my dyslexic daughter ended up being the co-president of the writer's academy at her high school...

How my autistic son who stopped talking when he was 4 years old ended up teaching and training volunteers how to use heavy equipment on a service mission...

Or any of the countless other ways my family and my clients have turned our challenges into success and progress through resiliency and using The ReFRAME Formula...

I'm sharing the most important pieces of the foundation for resiliency in the webinar on Wednesday.

It's starting at 10:30 Mountain time, 12:30 Eastern Time. I hope you can make it!

Have you reverse engineered your goals and put the baby steps on your calendar yet?

Welcoming the new year I decided I want to read a book each month. That means I will read at least 12 books this year.

I love to read and have had this idea before, but why didn't it work?

Becasue I had so many options and didn't decide which books I was going to read ahead of time. I didn't have a plan, only the desire.

So I went to choose 12 books from my collection and discovered I had already got 10 that were in progress! See all my bookmarks sticking out?

So chose 15 to allow for the difference of already having so many started and stacked them in order of which ones get the focused attention first.

Not long after the negative voices showed up in my head. They said, "You never finish anything. You can't..." blah blah blah.

I was feeling pretty bad even though I was putting up a good fight. I also struggled with the idea that all my kids are grown now and we never did establish any real traditions like I wanted to. It was closely tied to the finishing negative voices. They told me I missed my chance. They told me I procrastinated too long, and a bunch of other negative stories.

Well surprise! My son came to me last night and asked, "When are we doing our traditional toasting and new years goals thing?"

What? We have a tradition? Actually, yes we do! And I was so wrapped up in what it's supposed to look like, I didn't realize we had established something anyway.

Time to cover everything in gratitude again!

So last night as part of our saying goodbye to 2023, we had our traditional game night as a family, meaning the boys and dad used their brains while Lily and I broke out the colored pencils.

I started AND FINISHED this picture. Proving to my subconscious that I DO finish things!

We made some noise on the porch at midnight hollering "happy new year" to the world.

Then we sat around the table toasting the good from 2023 and the success that will happen in 2024. When the sparkling cider ran out we switched to orange juice and water. We had so many things to toast, to acknowledge and celebrate and support for each other coming up.

We finally said goodnight around 1AM.

Sometimes we try too hard. There is awesome already happening! It doesn't have to be perfect.

I hope you found things to celebrate and hope for. I'm so glad you are on this planet!

What's a tradition you have?

I just learned this! I did a quick research and found it is true! Lambs blood is snake antivenom.

“A rattlesnake bit one of my sheep in the face about a week ago. Deadliest snake that lives around here. The sheep’s face swelled up and hurt her terribly.

But the old rattlesnake didn't know the kind of blood that flows through the sheep. Anti-venom is most often made from sheep's blood. The sheep swelled for about 2 days but the blood of the lamb destroyed the venom of the serpent.

I was worried but the sheep didn't care. She kept on eating, kept on drinking and kept on climbing because she knew she was alright.

Don't worry about the serpent or his bite, just make sure that the Lamb's Blood is flowing through your veins.”

Have you ever had so many amazing things happening that there hardly seemed enough days to hold them all?

I'd love to hear about it!

For me, I've got some extra super exciting stuff in the works!

Just to name a few:

I'm SO excited about the progress I am making recovering from my surgery! (Doc has given permission to ramp up and resume "normal activity" in the next week. YAY!)

My son is getting married this Saturday (in 4 days! SO Excited!)

Then of course there is Christmas, gearing up for the new year (watch for the invitation to the class/party I will be hosting on Dec. 28th! SO excited again!)

Next year will be a massive life changer for our family.

How bout you?

Happy Friday! What's been happening this week?

Counting all the little things makes a huge difference. It creates accomplishment energy which creates momentum that pulls through tough times.

Today I ate and ENTIRE piece of toast. I felt so accomplished! And I brushed my teeth all by myself. Not gonna lie, I felt like bragging a little.

Your turn to brag! What little things are you doing worth celebrating? (It is all worth celebrating)
