Change of Seasons and Reasons - It Is Our Time To Thrive

I trust this message finds you, and your loved ones in good state of health and mind. Given our current life’s chapter, my trust is that you are making the most of this unsettling time, with positive intention and a bright eye towards the future.

I’ve been doing my very best to stay in the moment, live with intention and flow in positivity – although I also have to admit that I have had some pretty dark days, and some challenging times – perhaps that is putting it lightly, but I just don not have words that can describe my state, or that of the world’s.

Sometimes I release a sigh of relief, with escaping thoughts of throwing in the towel, and then I realize that I am exactly where I am supposed to be, and I am going to stay there until I heed the message, and take in the lesson that will pivot me into my next stage of growth. 

Impatience is certainly virtue, and I battle it with fears and tears. That is human. Then I get up again, and again, and again. Each day I don’t get it right, I forgive myself and give myself permission to try it again the next day.

I Give Myself Permission To Be Imperfect.

The same may hold true for many of you - I believe this to be true for all that is happening in the world – things shift when we are not paying attention, or when we are living “busy”, rather than living significantly.

Even when you may feel like our state of affairs cannot get any worse, TRUST that you will still be here for better days. TRUST that you play an important role in making forthcoming days better.

We have seen the world change before our eyes, in ways we never imagined. Surreal on very deep levels – no one is exempt from the reality that has forced us all to just… take a seat. AND THEN, RISE UP against it all.

We are living in an unprecedented time – it is a time of elevated racial divide, unexplainable loss, insurmountable pain and yet a road is being paved for us to do something, perhaps everything… differently. 

Life is Up for Re-evaluation. Revaluate.

As the human race is asked to maintain distance, we also have an opportunity to come together in ways we could have never before. Are you going to stand up and contribute to that necessary change?

While the World Feels Like It’s On Pause, It Is Certainly NOT Standing Still. 

Now we can be more active than ever with our minds, our on-line presence and our kindness. This is a time when we can really stop to appreciate the things we have never noticed before, where we can live with greater intention, and where we can begin to make a difference in the world with our actions… not standing back as a spectator, but pushing forward as a change maker.

Opportunity Awaits Our Move.

As hard as it may sound, we are now in more control than we have ever been to effect change, and create a world, a life, and the wish that we want to see… if we work together – consistently, strategically and whole-heartedly.

There’s wide open space for us to…

Pivot without fear

Jump without a net

Live abundantly with less

Live with significance, knowing that we ALL matter… because we all bleed the same… 

Wide open space for us to…

Change the direction of our government, of our nation, of our world

Use our voice, our pen, and our ballot for change

Use our feet, our signs and our hearts for those who aren’t able

Let's Use Our Souls to Make the Space Outside Our Doors Safe For The Ones We Are Raising.

There’s never been a season like the one we are currently in… nor a better reason to do your part in effecting change. 

Find a place where you can make an impact and have an effect. Everything counts. Every move is a contribution. Every ounce is growth.

Let yourself be known, quietly and assiduously – real moves are made in silence, the greatest source of power. Make yours.
