My Commitment To You In 2009!

We are just two days away from the year 2009! Can you believe how quickly this year flew?

For some reason today I am feeling a bit anxious about it all... a feeling of resistance. I have momentous ideas for next year. Ideas that are palpably knocking at my door yearning to be birthed into this existence to help the masses. I care so much about you. I am wanting to support and inspire you in living your potential because I know you have the power to influence so many lives. We are not one of many, we are many in one, many expressions of this one life of which we all play a part in. I see what grand responsibility comes with this, and I am taking the plunge. I don't know how it will happen, and where it will lead me but here goes...

I am taking a huge breath here. Deep breath in... I am exploiting how public this is to state this. I commit to YOU, and to myself in taking firm and consistent baby steps forward everyday to make this happen. Nothing great was ever accomplished by being comfortable. I commit to stretching myself for you and for my own well-being.

I leave you with this quote by Martha Graham. You might of heard it before but this time read it to your self.

“There is a vitality, a life force, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and there is only one of you in all time, this expression is unique, and if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium; and be lost. The world will not have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is, not how it compares with other expression. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open. You do not even have to believe in yourself or your work. You have to keep open and aware directly to the urges that motivate you. Keep the channel open. No artist is pleased. There is no satisfaction whatever at any time. There is on a queer, divine dissatisfaction, a blessed unrest that keeps us marching and makes us more alive than the others.”

Let these words' feelings and emotions reverberate in your heart. Note if you feel resistance inside of you? Close your eyes. What are you resisting? Has this resistance helped you in the past? Is it still helping you now or is it something that is no longer serving you? Take time to feel around and see what comes up for you.

Let us make this an open dialogue. What are you resisting in your life? What would support your growth?

Wishing you clarity, health, and abundance this new year.

With love, and much reflection,
