Sunday Free Write

I haven't done this on this blog before, I usually save this kind of writing for my journal.  Today I wanted to share it with you because I'm realizing how important it is for me to be as transparent as possible.  I want to share my stories with you so you know that you can make your life what you want it to be!

Today I felt the urge to Free Write and this is what came out...


How can I stop myself, from blocking myself, until I know that I'm blocking myself?

But then when I know, I have to sit with it and feel it's density pressing against my dreams, threatening to permeate.  I have a choice.  Do I push through it??   OR...  Decide to back away?  ...Again...

Why wouldn't I just go for it?  Why wouldn't I just do it?

It's scary?  It's unknown?  It feels uncomfortable?  It's uncertain?  I'm vulnerable?  I don't know what I'm doing yet?  I might make a mistake?  I probably WILL make a mistake!  It's new after all.  That would be embarrassing...to make a mistake.  Wouldn't want to do anything new just in case I looked stupid doing it!  Who would think I look stupid?  Does it matter anyway?????  NO!!!!  HELL NO!!!!  I have to just do it!!!!!!!!!

I can't even spend another minute worrying about what anyone else might think but me!  I have to go out there and DO what I'm being PULLED to do and stop being afraid of it!  I need to step into the FLOW of ALLOWING it and ENJOY the ride!!!  Why can't I enjoy the ride?

I do enjoy the ride!  So much more than before.  But I still shrink it back, wonder if this is too good to be true.  Wonder if I can really do it all.  How can I allow such love and beauty in my life when so many others are suffering?  When is the other shoe gonna drop?  When will the bubble be burst?  All this good stuff, when is the bad gonna show up?

The truth is, it's already here.  There's always good and bad present.  Highs and lows.  Light and darkness.  They're always here at the same time.  So don't rob your own joy anymore!!  Quit allowing the worry! It's a done deal!  I can do it!  God is leading the way!  I am being Divinely Guided!  I can't ask for it everyday and think it's not working, I have to TRUST that this is all happening for me so I can be the VERY BEST I can BE!!!  It can be as good as I let it be.  ALL signs are pointing...Step Into Your Light!!!!!  

Let it shine as bright as you can and THIS is how you will help others step into theirs!



Anything else?  No.  I think that's it for now!

Love to You!!

In the Flow...

Could it have been over a week already since my last post?  How does the time go by so fast?

As you know, I've started the 30 Day BE. Inspired Exercise Challenge and it is all I wished it could be!  The team is feeling better after just a few days of exercise!   I'm feeling inspired by all the positive messages and knowing that it's helping others at the same time it's helping me!  It's an incredible feeling to create something.  To bring it to life after it's been a thought for so long.  I'm stepping into the flow of my life like never before and it feels AMAZING!!

There are lots of thoughts coming together as I step into this new phase of life.
Here are some of the messages that give me strength and encouragement:

REFLECTION...a special post!!

These days, I feel like my heart has been burst open wide!  My eyes are noticing things like never before, and messages are coming to me from ALL OVER THE PLACE!!  Today started with a few small things and then I read this post from one of my bestest friends ever, Kim!  WOW!!  She has this amazing blog called Design Thoughts where you can find beautiful ideas for creating the perfect home, hints and tips about DIY projects, AND ways to be a thoughtful and PRESENT parent, wife, and woman!  Kim takes you on a journey through her passion with design and also tells her story of creating the life of her dreams!  

Today's post was a beautiful reflection of pieces of her life.  It struck me so much because I also have been reflective the last couple of days.  I believe it's such an important piece of creating and manifesting.  When you take the time to see how far you've come, you realize your own strength and personal power.  You realize that you have made it through so many challenges!  You also realize just how short life is, and how fast it goes...and why it's so important to make the most of today!  Right NOW!  :)

So check out this post!  I know you're gonna love it!

Just take that leap! NYC..what I learned

As I was sitting at my job the other day, listening to David Gray,
I was taken back so quickly, 

to the days of working in New York City...

Our first time in Soho..Spring of '05

I was 29, and we had moved one year before, from our home in Michigan. 

I remember being so sad the first year I was in NY. I wasn't working in the city, 

I was in Westchester. I missed my friends, and my home

 ( we went from being home owners, to landlords and renters in one quick move)

and my family seemed so far away, they felt untouchable.
I was SURE we made a mistake! 

Although we were proud of ourselves for "Following our dreams" 

and "taking a leap of faith"  it wasn't feeling so dreamy. 

Then, I started working in the city, I felt alive!! I was surrounded by new sounds, 

and sights, and the hustle bustle of people everywhere. 

I began to LOVE my walk to work each morning, seeing cutting edge fashion , 

and personal style that just oozes out of every doorway. 

Watching the city transform each season from beautiful flowers and flowing skirts, 

to bare trees and bulky sweaters.

 I remember the first day I walked out of the beautiful showroom
I was working at, across from Gramercy Tavern, 
and the T.V Show "The Soprano's" was being filmed on our street. 

I remember noticing how the true New Yorkers, really didn't give it
much thought, it seemed they all had very important places to be..lol.

( I became THAT person only 2 short years later) 

Then in one day, I met Natalie Portman, AND...

30 Day BE. Inspired Exercise Challenge!

Hi Everyone!

Today I'm busy working on the 30 Day Exercise Challenge and I'm getting so excited!  WooHoo!!  Have you signed up yet?  I added a new page to the website to make it easier for people to find it and sign up!   I'll be making a new video post tomorrow but today I just wanted to share this post about the challenge, just in case you missed it!

You can also find the following post on the 30 Day BE. Inspired Exercise Challenge page:

If you're anything like me, you want to make your health a priority but with busy schedules, families to take care of, work to be done, and households to keep up, it's not always easy to do!  Wouldn't it be easier to exercise regularly if you had daily support?  What if somebody was there to give you inspiration and motivation everyday?  What if you had help with accountability in a positive and exciting way?  Wouldn't it be easier to do it if it was FUN?

If this sounds like you, you've come to the right place!  The 30 Day BE. Inspired Exercise Challenge will begin on April 1st and I would LOVE if you would join the team!!!

So what is the 30 Day BE. Inspired Exercise Challenge?

1. Everyday for 30 days you will exercise for at least 20 minutes doing an activity of your choice.  (I will give you ideas on what you can do, but it will all be your choice!)

2. Everyday for 30 days you will "check in" on my Facebook  BE. Inspired Coaching page once your workout is complete.  You can write: Check!  Done!  Did it!  I ran today!  ...whatever you feel comfortable with!  (If you aren't on Facebook, you can still participate through email check in, though you will be missing the team/community interaction that goes along with the public posts.)

3. Everyday for 30 days you will receive positive messages of  inspiration, motivation, encouragement, and enrichment!  I will provide you with guidance in exercise, health, and overall well being through my own personal experiences as well as citing expert sources.  I will encourage the team to be interactive and supportive of one another through posts, so you will be receiving live assistance every day!!

4. Each week you will receive a video from me with stories, tips, and tools that have helped to make it easier to incorporate healthy living and exercise into my life.

5. Join with a friend or friends, and each of you will be entered into the prize drawing!  The prize will vary depending on the number of participants.  For at least 25 people, there will be a $25 prize drawing,  50 people, $50, and 100 people (which is my goal!) I will give away $100!!!

My goal is to help as many people as possible start to live a healthier life NOW!!!  I know it's a challenge to exercise regularly on your own, to find the strength to keep going...I want to help you with that!  I want you to feel good about yourself!  I want to help you do your best!  I want you to feel good about your life!  I want you to have more energy and feel comfortable in your own body!  I want you to feel strong and EMPOWERED!!!

I KNOW you can do it and if we do it TOGETHER, you will have the support and guidance you need to keep going when things get tough!!

The investment is small, just $15 for the entire challenge!  That's just 50 cents a day!  $3.50 a week!  Less than the cost of a gallon of gas!  Less than the cost of a Starbucks premium coffee!  Less than a drink at a restaurant or bar!  What a small price to pay for a HUGE investment in your life and your health!!

How do I sign up?

There are two ways to sign up: click on the 30 Day BE. Inspired Exercise Challenge "Add to Bag" button on the sidebar of this blog or click here to go to my Facebook BE. Inspired Coaching page, click on the blue "shop" button, and find "30 Day BE. Inspired Exercise Challenge".  Simply click to sign up!  Please let me know if you have any questions or need any help!

Also, if you sign up with a friend or friends, remember to email me at 30daybe.inspiredchallenge@gmail.com so I can enter you all in the PRIZE DRAWING!!!

If you've been wanting to do this on your own anyway, today is the day to take that step!  Don't wait anymore!!!  Sign up with someone who truly cares about your success and see what you can really do!!!  I look forward to having you join the team and working with you on this challenge!!

Love to You!
