I am excited. I am on fire, I am impassioned. I am standing with open arms in wonder of my world. I do not always feel feel like this - in fact just yesterday I struggled to find any motivation and cruised through youtube videos all evening. And. Today, I am in AWE.

I offer an amazing metaphor for the shift I just experienced in my business:

A contestant on The X Factor worked fiercely with a painting on stage. As an audience, we start to interpret the painting as one of the judges’ faces. The clock insists, the painting doesn’t seem to progress, and we grow restless. Soon, all four judges buzz her act to conclude. The artist draws a final line and gazes back at the audience as if to beg their trust.

Thereafter, the artist turns her canvas upside down, throws powder over her creation, and unveils one of the most impressive portraits I have ever seen.

I just re-watched this clip to ensure my memory stands true. My eyes filled with tears as my metaphor solidifies.

Our authentic alignment journey may not always feel crystal clear. We will not feel empowered and excited at all times as we pursue our best life. Sometimes, we will feel confused; sometimes, we will be impatient; sometimes, we will feel frustrated that it is not coming together as we had imagined.

And. Sometimes, the canvas will turn over, the breeze will settle our pieces into place, and we will experience absolute wonder for the life in front of us.

Connect with you core, dare to follow your heart & intuition & powerful wisdom, stand in the fire of uncertainty & seek support when needed, and trust, trust, trust.

Please do not hit your own buzzer. Please do not lose hope due to ambiguity. Embrace the power and infinite possibility that exists in the process. & sit in total amazement in your moments of reveal.

As prefaced at the beginning of this script, I just experienced another unveiling in my personal life. My canvas flipped, I felt the breeze pass by, and I opened my eyes to an overwhelming moment of “ah hah!”

I get it. I see it. & my goodness, it is beautiful.
