We all need a catalyst, something that pushes the right buttons to instigate a change. Something that speaks our language, inspires our dreams or that brings us so close to our authentic and vulnerable place, we have not choice but to change.
My journey started on April 27th this year… yes, the very day of the everyWOMAN Whistler conference. No co-incidence, it was exactly the place I needed to be that weekend. Away with some fabulous girlfriends, sweating and opening my mind to, well, to options.
Just the fact that I left the weekend know that there were choices ahead of me, and that as soon as I was capable (re: courageous enough) to make a decision, everything would work oout.
I remember the car drive home as we silly women wobbled between tears and laughter. We all had huge choices waiting for us at home, defining moments ahead of us… and while we were terrified, we were empowered by our experiences to face our fears and take some risk to build ourselves an amazing life.
I believe that as a society we are acclimatizing ourselves to pain and discomfort. A sore knee, a bad back, a consistent head ache, and general unhappiness with life… we accept this and carry on thinking we have no choice.
But, in fact we do. We have the option to build a life we love, just by acknowledging what it is that we don’t love about our life.
I will be attending everyWOMAN again this October 27th in Vancouver. I am continuing to change my life for the better, I am working hard on getting rid of the fear and building the courage to go after what I want.
I hope you’ll join me… it will be one hell of an adventure!
