I’m getting
ready to move … 
Have been contemplating this change
for a year now…
The house is too big for one person,
and my kids are launched into their own young adult lives … JOB WELL DONE!
They are amazing, and are my proudest accomplishment…
It doesn’t make sense to hold onto all of this space for a couple of holiday visits…
And I know they know that wherever I am, there will always be space for them…
What if we broke with tradition and instead of holidays at home, we traveled somewhere together as a group, donating our time together as volunteers in a needy part of the world…
Those experiences cement a family as surely as repetition of oft-repeated habits, and they underscore what I have been teaching them for years – BE OF SERVICE IN YOUR LIFE!
But the house is so comfortable! So familiar! I know where my things are!
It is also exhausting to take care of all this space …
It occurs to me that releasing the responsibilities/habits/THINGS that no longer have center stage in my life allows the space to open up for new directions, new opportunities …
But it’s SCARY! UNNERVING! STRANGE!
Yet it is also liberating, exhilarating, like a splash of cold water in the face…
I remind myself that I had a similar experience moving from California to Washington nearly six years ago…
Everything was new and strange …
Newly single after 20 years, ending a long-term established business, I had to reinvent myself in so many ways…
And be a reliable constant for my kids in the process…
I did it, not without bumps and bruises, but I did it…
And I emerged more aware of my resources and my strengths …
And now it is a new chapter once again … 
I have an opportunity to pare down…
To travel lighter…
To distill the lessons of 50 years on the planet and offer help and support to those seeking a similar path…
I’ve learned A LOT…
You see, it IS possible to reinvent yourself…
And you can start with small steps …
A year ago if you had asked me about blogging and social media and how it relates to business and internet marketing, I would have said “What???” I was secretly embarrassed that I did not know the first thing about all of this…
And now, thanks to my dear friend and mentor Rose Mis, I have emerged from that fog! Rose is a phenomenal teacher, and is a virtual encyclopedia of knowledge…
And she shares what she knows so generously! I love her training blog … TONS of excellent information all there free of charge…
She has truly helped me to light a fire under my business!
We are ALL teachers, we are ALL able to share our particular gifts and strengths, once we identify what they are …
But I maintain that it is the hand outstretched that makes ALL of the difference …
No matter what you may be promoting in your business, what product, what service, WHATEVER …
It is the human connection that people are craving …
We are social animals, and we learn best from each other…
I love to share what I know after 30 years as a working professional…
Whether the topic is Green Building or Natural Nutrition, Real Estate Investing or Mindset Training …
I happily share what I know if it can help someone else …
And now I feel the space opening up for yet another adventure …
Stay tuned!
