A Deep Breath.
The kids are gone... I am home.
Jessica went off to school and Sara is at the babysitters, Mike is at work. The cats are curled up in a ball on the chair.
It is raining/snowing and I sit in my flannel jammies with a hot cup of coffee and begin my day.
This is how I will be beginning my days in a few years time. Not having to worry about getting to the office for 8 a.m. simply allowing myself to awaken in a slow and luxurious way. Letting my creativity move through me and deciding in the moment what I want to do.
Today I begin my day reflecting on what days like these are going to mean for me in my near future. Reveling in the feeling of peace, relaxation and excitement in the knowledge that I create my days and how they flow.
My first workshop begins tomorrow. I have facilitated on my own in the past, co-facilitated with others, but never a workshop that I created that will span over a few weeks.
This feels different from Coffee Conversations & Catalysts, this is not just an open forum, it will have structure, yet still the freedom of flow, who knows where the conversations will lead and what will come up for us during these next 3 Saturdays?
There is a group of 7 participants coming in tomorrow morning, some are friends, some are colleagues, some are co-workers, some are parents and people I have not yet met. What I know is the people who are coming will be the right ones to be in the program room at this time.
When I close my eyes and allow myself to consider the outcome of my workshop, I quickly feel myself tapped into the fullness of my Self.
This is what it is, this is what I am meant to be doing at this time in my life.
How many people can I touch by sharing my story, sharing my experiences, presenting a different world view to consider of your own lives and how you are living, by simply showing up?
If I knew how many people have been moved or affected by my words in some meaningful way I know I would be shocked at the numbers (this is not cockiness this is fact). I think we all are unaware of just how much impact our stories have on other peoples lives. I think this is a really important reason to live your live authentically and speak your truth.
Today I prepare, I relax, I reconnect and settle in with the person I am. Tomorrow the world with shift a little more, once again.
There is always more... tomorrow is a new and fantastic day.

I love the image you painted. The coffee, the cats, your pj's, on this stormy day when anything/everything is possible.
I whish you more and more of yourself as the day and the weekend unfolds.
Indulge yourself in with magnificence of the moment and of who you are.
big hugs

About 1 week after returning from Catalyst a few years ago I had a morning very much like you are describing today to be for you.
I longed to get up every morning, with a sense of purpose and space. I wanted to have space for my thoughts. I imagined myself sitting and writing every day - for as long as I wanted. I felt pure potential flowing in my veins and knew that in taking the first steps in creating the life I wanted, everything else would follow.
And now, sitting with my tea, the weather blowing outside and my son at school, I know that I did indeed create it! This is my everyday life!! And your life is going to be exactly what you intend too! Magical huh?! :)
The world will indeed shift tomorrow, just like it has been ever since you set your intention free.
Have a marvelous time today and tomorrow!
Hugs,
Anita
