Letting Down Our Guard

My Hope For You

It's very interesting how over the last two years I have developed a relationship with you, my readers. Just like a relationship between two people, in the beginning I felt a bit uncertain and unsure of what exactly you wanted and needed from me, or if you would even like me. As time went on trust developed and I began giving more and revealing more of what I had to offer and who I was.

Some readers stuck around, others left...but overall the list has grown and the response has been positive. So interesting and beautiful how relationship works, especially when we are willing to be vulnerable. It was when I decided to be vulnerable that I think you started trusting me!

Transparency

As my role in this relationship has grown I have become more and more committed to being as transparent as possible with you...my readers and my clients. It has been my mission to help YOU become more and more the YOU that is deep inside, to strip the fears and the masks we put on to protect ourselves and to support you to embark on a fearless journey towards your goals and dreams.

Okay...well at least to feel the fear and do it anyway.

And I know If I'm going to support you to do that, I know that I must do it myself...everyday of my life.

Feel The Fear

Sometimes, becoming the YOU you were meant to be is not just about going out and doing something...sometimes it's merely about accepting who you are and admitting everything you feel even if you might feel ashamed or silly for feeling it, or dreaming it. Sometimes it's being brave and admitting what you are good at and using those talents to pursue something you want, even if you're scared to death of failing. And, sometimes it's being able to ask for support when you need it, because you don't have all the answers (and you don't have to.)

Every time I take a risk and do what I know in my heart is truthfully me, I come out with peace on the other end...even if the consequences are painful or will make things tough on me. It makes me more connected to myself, more human, and brings me closer than I could imagine to others...because when we let down our guard...everyone around us is relieved. It means they are free to be themselves as well.

Receive A Blessing

Vulnerability is not only important for you...for you to be everything you were meant to be, but it is also necessary for your relationships. Not being vulnerable means you will trap your heart inside a cage only hoping that others will find it. I say let it escape and be willing to receive all that comes with it. The blessings will be far greater than any pain.
