2013 Year in Review - Flying Sisters Blog Circle

Wow.

What a year.

I chose the word Transformation for 2013.

How appropriate.

My main two goals this year were to: 

1 - Get my life coach certification. 

2 - Move to a bigger home.

Done.

And done.

Whew.

It's been wonderful nesting in the new place. 

I absolutely love our new home.

We have SPACE.

It's glorious.

I've learned a few valuable lessons about me this year - 

1 - Don't take on too many projects at once.

I have so many passions, 

I get carried away wanting to do everything.

However, there just isn't enough time for me to do 

every single thing that I'm passionate about.

I need to choose one project at a time.

I need to read one book at a time.

One thing at a time.

No more silly art classes - they are such time wasters!

2 - I need deadlines.

If I don't have a deadline, it's possible it's still on my to do list.

I've noticed if I have a scheduled class or 

have to check in with someone,

I'm totally on the ball.

3 - My body needs the gym.

I need exercise. 

It has to be part of my life. 

A habit. Like brushing my teeth, 

I've got to do it.

With trying to get my own business going, 

I sometimes neglect the gym.

I've learned that my body is more important than posting more items on Etsy.

My body is a priority.

For 2014, I'm going to keep it simple.

Simplify is my word for 2014.

One project at a time.

Honor deadlines.

Honor my mind and my body.

And the huge focus - well - it's gonna all be about life coaching. 

I have so many ideas, I just have to implement them!

I'm about to take my best to a new level.

Bring it on 2014.

Gratitude & Thanks (Monthly Flying Sisters Blog Circle)

"The more grateful you are, the more you get to be grateful about. It's that simple." ~Louise L. Hay

Today is a traditional day for people to share their thanks, 
however, I encourage you to practice gratitude
every single day.

As I was writing this post in my head, I was thinking how practicing gratitude every day allows us to 

be open to all of the abundance in our life. 

I then go into my Deepak and Oprah meditation for the day 

and Deepak says,

"Gratitude is the gateway to abundance."

It truly is.

Off the top of my head here is my current
list of things I am thankful for-

the air I breathe

the love in my life

knowledge

creativity

intuition
inspiration

writing

words

 the internet

meditation

morning pages

Julia Cameron, Wayne Dyer, Louise Hay

heat

my home
my boyfriend
my friends
my family

my car

my job

my clothes

my many pairs of boots

my own craft room

the beauty of being alive

From Day # 14 of Desire and Destiny Meditation 
with Oprah & Deepak

Mindful Moment

Set the intention to greet each moment of the day in gratitude. As each encounter and situation crosses your path take time to pay attention to all of the things that you can be grateful for in the moment. May you cultivate the spirit of gratitude with effortless ease and enthusiasm, for as you do so you transform your world.

"Each day begins with a prayer of “Thank you,” which are the first words out of my mouth as I awaken."

~Wayne Dyer

Enjoy today with your loved ones and ponder the question...

What are you thankful for today? 

I leave you with Alanis Morissette's "Thank You."

I'm A Possibilitarian! Are you? September Blog Circle

*Part of the Flying Sisters Blog Circle for September*

Possibilitarian Project with Kelly Rae Roberts

For the longest time, I've wanted 

a career where I can help others.

I feel it's my calling.

My soul expands in joy when I think about it.

Also, for the longest time, 

I couldn't pin point exactly how to do this.

For years I've created empowering necklaces and candles that inspire people - but I needed more.

A year ago I took an online course that changed my life.

I signed up for Flying Lessons with Kelly Rae Roberts. 

Flying Lessons was all about getting your creative biz going - making it soar! 

When the class started last September, 
I threw myself in head first. 

I got up early every single morning to 

read the class lesson and take notes. 

Everyday I learned new things about having a creative biz. 

A fantastic bonus of the class was a Facebook group of everyone enrolled in the course.

Truly amazing.

 I now have so many universal connections.
I am part of a group of approximately 600 creative women 
from all over the world!

Flying Lessons - Kelly Rae Roberts

Taking Kelly Rae's Flying Lesson e-course is the best decision 
I've made for my creative biz. 

So many benefits...

The class is over, but our journey isn't. 

I can hop on my laptop and there they are -
my online beautiful muses. 

It feels good.

We have that like-minded connection, common creative biz goals, all of us cut from the same cloth.

And this connection stays with me. 

It inspires me. I feel moved to keep creating, keep working on my creative biz, get that new Etsy shop up, keep blogging, take a painting class, etc.

Anything is possible!

I have a universal crafty support group. 

Because of Kelly Rae's course,

the inspiration and possibilities just keep flowing.

I have now been on a continuous streak of creating 

and it's not slowing down.

And through all of this I have realized my calling. 

I know what I want to be when I grow up!

Through my inspirations and soul searching I found my calling -becoming a Life Coach.

I have felt a shift in me.

I even held a successful crowdfunding project that enabled me to get my Life Coaching certificate.

There is no turning back. I am on a roll.
