Hello Aspiring Women!

Have you ever had writer's block? Moment's when you were unable to access your creative well spring like you'd like too? I just had such a moment when trying to write a new workshop. So, I went for a walk to clear my mind and to hopefully free my creative self. I decided to really see my surroundings and to be a witness to the moment. Along the way I saw a father tenderly holding his daughter's hand, a couple engaged in a loving kiss and a large dog joyfully racing after the Frisbee just thrown by his owner. It occurred to me that it is in these small moments that living happens.

As I walked, I felt a flood of gratitude overwhelm me. Gratitude for the simple things in life. For the casual moments that put everything back into perspective and open the floodgates of creativity and inspiration. Laura and I truly hope that this month's newsletter supports you along your own walk of life. This is what we are all about. If you want to be more empowered, centered and balanced, give us a call. We are here to support you.

Aspiring fearlessly,

Coaching Tip to Increase Confidence

Sometimes there is something that we want to do yet we feel afraid. It seems natural to imagine the worst that could happen and sometimes this can be empowering if we use this visualization to see the fear isn’t that bad or to guide us. Yet, the danger of this activity is creating a habit of awfulising that will anchor the fear versus reduce it.

Next time you feel fear about something you want to do, ask yourself “what’s the best that can happen?” Place a focus on the good reasons you want to do something and the many benefits that can result. Then envision yourself stepping into the activity while FEELING the good feelings that may come with your achievement. This will boost your confidence and help you stay motivated as you accomplish your goal.

Does Happiness Come with a Price Tag?

By Susan Liddy

Does money buy happiness? It's a question that sparks much discussion and debate. Who hasn't felt the initial rush of an impulse purchase... trying that new skirt on in front of the mirror... proudly displaying that beautiful new table by the front door of your home. Sometimes it really feels like spending our money on material items is all we need to feel good. read more

At first she really thought it was all about the shopping, after all, she's a girl who loves clothes! As a little girl, Lynette would spend hours as a little girl dressing her dolls and her sister. Growing up her family endured many years of home re-modeling projects and shopping sprees as her mother was always making her surroundings beautiful; no doubt this passion for fashion began at an early age. read more
