Are You Not Being Heard? Have You Been Dancing Around Your Dreams?
May 25, 2011
As George Eliot once said, “It’s never too late to be what you might have been.”
Let’s imagine for a moment that your life hits a bumpy road - and you encounter turbulence. How do you handle it?
* Do you go around the turbulence, pretending like its not there - turning a blind eye and looking the other way?
* Do you turn around and go back, giving in to fear and quite possibly some form of regret or resentment?
* Do you go through the turbulence with a determination to make it through - taking risks by picking up a few hard knocks (life lessons) along the way?
I’ve worked with many women over the past two years and one of the things I’ve noticed is how much “old programming” controls one’s courage in life.
Take a moment to think about your “life story.” How has it played out - up to this point?
* Were you encouraged to take risks?
* Or were you told to “play it safe” - taking the comfortable, practical choice?
* Was your voice heard and received with love and respect - making you feel like your opinions, your thoughts, your emotions really mattered?
* Or were you silenced - making you feel like you weren’t worthy of having an opinion, a thought, or an emotion?
Now take a moment to think about the history of your “life story.”
* What messages did you receive around “courage?”
* What patterns do you have in your life - right now - that prevent you from fully stepping into YOUR courage?
Join me on Thursday, June 2nd at noon (eastern) for a free teleclass, “Stepping into Your Own Voice: Having the Courage to Speak Up - and Be Heard.” ~ We’ll be pulling in the energies of a new moon in Gemini (the astrological sign of communication - the sign that rules voice) and weaving in the messages that a new moon brings around new beginnings.
It’s time to give birth to your dreams.
It’s time to step into “what it is you might have been.”
It’s time to create YOUR new beginning - and have YOUR voice heard!

Journaling by the Moonlight - Continuing the Blog Tour
May 2, 2011
I’ve really enjoyed my blog stops and have engaged in some fascinating dialogues!
I recently visited the brilliant Paula Tarrant and her blog, “Inspired Women Work” - where we discussed journal writing, life purpose, astrology, intuition - and my book “Journaling by the Moonlight: A Mother’s Path to Self-Discovery.” You can take a peek at Paula’s wonderful blog and check out our conversation: http://inspiredwomenwork.com/journaling-the-moon-and-you-the-path-to-self-discovery/
And what a joy it was to visit the blog of Moonlight Business Moms client, Dawn Espelage! She is a brilliant writer and a highly creative individual with a true passion for bringing voice to women and girls through the art of journal writing and creative storytelling. Dawn and I had lots to talk about with regard to intuition, authenicity and telling our life stories. You can check out our conversation (and Dawn’s many creative offerings): http://lifelinesjournaling.blogspot.com/2011/04/journaling-by-moonlight.html
I also spent time with the fabulous Jaki Bent - where we discussed journal writing with quotes, the moon phases and how they can support personal transformation, personal identity, and the importance of expressing our truth. http://jakisblog.com/tmg-jbtm/
There are more blog stops coming, so stay tuned!
