Month: November 2015

Discipline. Willpower. Determination.

Making the decision to do something is the easy part. But do I have the discipline to see it through? To keep going when the going gets hard. To keep finding inspiration when yet another road block is thrown up in my path. I want to say yes. But deep down I know it takes a lot of preparation to set yourself up for success. You need coaches, you need dream boards, you need THE reason why you are reaching for whatever goals you’ve set for yourself.

For right now though, I just want to hold on to that really special moment when I decide I’m going to do something new. It’s a powerful feeling – full of motivation and magic. If I can bottle this feeling up, maybe I can come back to it in those silly moments of doubt or frustration. Light beats the dark. And I really like the light.

Ahhhhh. New beginnings. You gotta love new beginnings. The mornings that I wake up ready and willing to be seduced by the day are always the best ones. Thank goodness for sunrises – they give you a new beginning every day. A chance to do something you’ve never done before, start something you were too scared to start yesterday, be someone you have always wanted to be. New beginnings come in all shapes and sizes – we just have to be open enough to try them out when they cross our path.

So take a deep breath – right now – wherever you are, and find some new beginning in your life. “She loved the smell of new beginnings…” Of hope, of relief, of adventure…of peace.

We all want a cozy, welcoming home – insert toy explosion from my 18 month old – nothing says welcome like baby dolls and board books. Regardless of the state of cleanliness my home may be in on any given day, smell and sight are the two most influential senses to me when I walk in my door. The following link has some simple and great ideas to add some positivity to your casa. Enjoy! And get your sage on!

Most often the difficult things we hold on to are things we cannot change. The outcome will never be any different, so why do we continue to carry these burdens? They are so very heavy, and they cause fear, and anxiety, and they steal our joy. It’s time to let them go. So whatever heavy burden you carrying around with you today…….just let it go. Reclaim your joy.

Enough Said.

November 10: What are they saying? Something like 6 weeks til Christmas. Our neighborhood stores begin to put up their pretty lights, their festive greenery. You begin to think about holiday shopping, you begin to think about next year. Resolutions. What you’ll do differently so you aren’t in the same spot next November 10th. But it’s not too late. It really isn’t. Start daily resolutions, not yearly. Let’s do something good and positive every day until Thanksgiving. That’s at least 2 weeks of moving in the right direction. 2 weeks of moving down a new path. Let’s. Start. Today.

This past weekend was a special one over here at TDSS – All three of us sisters were in the same city, and we had such a fun, wine-filled time together! Lots of Daily Soul Sessions dreaming went on. We cannot WAIT for the book to come out. It’s looking like December is the magic time!

Why don’t you find a cozy little nook and do a little dreaming today? Whats that thing that ignites the fire within you? What do you dream about that gives you butterflies? What are you scared to take the first step on? Not because you fear it, but because you’re worried that it won’t come true? So not trying seems safer than trying? Screw that! Who cares! You have to take that step – you have to try. Do one thing today to get you closer. Write down some goals, light a candle and say a prayer, write that first chapter, make a bracelet, strum the guitar…one thing and you’re one step closer!
