THE SEASON OF CHRISTMAS ....

Can you believe it's that time again. I swear I blinked and this year just zoomed right by me. Was it like that for you too?
The holiday season is upon us and I wanted to share with you what my thoughts are this Christmas being a Mum now and what this New Year Means to me.

Now if you know me you know that Christmas is my most favorite time of year. I can really feel the magic all around!! How can you not? It's the perfect time to take a look at where you are at, are you happy? did you achieve any of the goals you set for yourself this year? The Christmas magic is that little voice inside your head that says "I'm going to make those changes that will make me happy doing what I love in the new year"  That voice, have you heard it?

This Christmas I am filled with so much excitement as this is my first Christmas as A Mum. I can't wait to see my shining little stars eyes on Christmas Morning  seeing all the presents under the tree and the Christmas Carols playing, and of course Santa has outdone himself this year (Way to go Santa!) There is going to be some bright eyes this Christmas morning .....

For me personally this Christmas I am looking forward to reflecting on how I've changed and evolved this year. And what the new year means to me staying connected with the goals that lie ahead as we enter this new decade. WOW new decade, there's that time thing again! I have such a good feeling as we enter a new year AND decade how about you? how are you feeling about it. What plans and goals have you set. Keep them close and don't let them get lost.

As the holidays approach I can feel my body wind down from the grind and move into a more aware space of  self love. With everyday life so busy and dang hard to fit in all you want to do, the holidays are a time for me to slow my mind and breathe. Ready for some much needed family time.and reflection on what's to come.

What are your plans this Christmas, and what are you planning for yourself for the coming new year and decade?

THE BEST JOURNEY YOU COULD EVER TAKE ..

We all travel in our life, exploring with family and friends. But do you know what the best journey is you will ever take? The one where you explore yourself.

I want you to think about it for a minute, we have Family and friends that we know so well on a deeper level. But how well do we know our self? Sounds crazy right. But it is a trap that so many women can fall into. Hey, we lead busy lives been Mum's, Wives, and everything else in between. I guess along the way it became part of our job to know everyone on that level. But I never took the time to get to know me! Who am I? What do I want out of this Life?

At first it was pretty daunting getting to know me, but once I started peeling back the layers I found that I was a women with a mission to accomplish! A women with BIG DREAMS AND GOALS. And it was so strange seeing myself in this way because I never imagined myself on a mission. And certainly not a mission that could change lives.

Indecisive....that's me(Just ask my husband). But the more I dug deeper into who I was and being clear on what my vision was, The better I became at making decisions. A win win situation and so helpful in moving forward to creating my vision with so much confidence. Now I'm not saying it's easy because it is not easy at all! It really takes a lot of hard work and guts, hey I know you got this!

Here are 4 steps to help you on your journey....
1- Realize who you are and not who you want to be.
2- Find what you are passionate about and what lights you up.
3- Find out what you are good at and not so good at.
4- Take the time to be quiet. You will truly know your self when you are still.

While you are on your journey of self discovery listen to what other people say and find your own core values. This is super important and helpful to achieving any goals you have set for your self. And importantly enjoy the ride! Find what your strengths are as well as your weaknesses. You might just surprise yourself...

DOUBT KILLS DREAMS.

OK let's be honest. We all have dreams. that something that we daydream about and dream about at night. You know the one that ties a knot in your stomach when you see someone else living it, and it makes us doubt our self as to weather we are capable of big things. Well guess what YOU ARE CAPABLE OF BIG THINGS. Start telling your self this and eventually you will believe it. The sad thing is only some of us will bite fear in the butt and stare our dream in the face and make it happen.

DECISIONS. There comes a point in our lives where we are faced with decisions. And one really big decision is deciding once and for all to just go for it and make it happen. We worry about time and money and resources. But ass I have said before, if you want something bad enough you will make ti happen. Will it be easy. NO it won't but you will still make it happen. All those times with all the excuses under the sun, were the times hat I knew I had to do it, that it was going to change my life in so many good ways. And knowing that this is going to take dedication and persistence on my part, with a whole lot of risk taking. But do I ever shy away form the grind NO WAY!  I guess I'm my Mother's daughter that way.

I can see it so clearly. That moment when I knew what I had to be doing. What would make me happy and bring me joy. And importantly what would make a difference in the lives of other women.  I remember the struggle to believe in myself. Believing that I could do it. The pivotal moment when I said to myself "If I don't believe in me, why should anyone else?" I was so scared when I listened to my first free webinar, and when I invested in my own education will my first course. It was such a huge leap for me., But I took a deep breath and moved one foot after the other FORWARD.  No doubts, just moving with the fear and praying to the universe. Getting ,my butt into gear and making everyday another step closer towards my dream. Yes it's so scary, and there will be plenty of risks along the way, but it will pay off in the end BIG TIME! 

When we are faced with certain decisions that await us to say "Yes I believe in me, in what I'm capable of and I will show you proof" you will see the magic start to happen. You will see yourself start to evolve. SO DON'T JUST SIT AROUND AND WAIT FOR IT TO HAPPEN MY FRIEND, BECAUSE YOU'LL BE WAITING A LONG TIME. MAKE THE DECISION TO STAND UP AND DANCE FORWARD KNOWING I'LL BE THERE TO HELP AND SEE YOU SHINE.
