Excitement is Building!

Are you feeling a sense of anticipation? Are you feeling that there are BIG things ahead? I AM!! (And I hope you are, too!) These feelings have been building inside of me for some time, but they came spilling out over the weekend.

I am FINALLY feeling comfortable in my own skin. Mentally, I knew I wanted to be comfortable being me, and I kept getting closer and closer. But, old habits and thought patterns kept reining in my “Me-ness”…until this weekend.

So, what happened over the weekend?

I attended Wendy Blum’s Strong Mind, Healthy Body Retreat. It had all kinds of subjects*, which are near and dear to my heart. And it was dynamic and truly life-changing for me! The information presented, the activities experienced and the relationships formed were all so very nurturing and supportive.

And while I was there…I walked on glass!!! It was amazing (and kind of funny!) the mind chatter that took place when the opportunity to walk on glass first appeared in front of me. And it’s even more amazing the transformation that took place when I DID it! Lots of internal barriers came tumbling down.

For me, the other side of that walk brought total honesty (with myself!), transparency, genuineness…and great exuberance and JOY!! Really!!

So, this past weekend, I went from this:

“Listen, are you breathing just a little and calling it a life?” — Mary Oliver

To this:

“Love yourself first and everything else will fall into place.” — Lucille Ball

And now I am more my true self than I have ever been. And it is so very exciting!
