Description of workshop (PRINT FRIENDLY DOWNLOAD)

The Fine Art of Self-Care for Dynamic Women!  This presentation is designed for women
with big hearts, big visions, big responsibilities and energetic lives who are seeking BALANCE. It is an interactive workshop designed specifically for dynamic women…the overwhelmed, overworked, perfectionist, and the “fixer” types that we all can be at different times. Are you the “go-to” woman at work? Do your children, family, or partner lean on you to be the problem solver? Are you the unsung volunteer of the year in your community work? Do you sometimes neglect yourself and are often too overwhelmed to do any thing about it? If you answered “yes” to any of these questions…this workshop is for YOU! We are so busy solving problems for others that we forget to nurture our most significant relationship…the one we have with ourselves. This workshop will use fun, interactive exercises to help restore balance and find ways to nurture yourself so that you might continue to manifest your life’s purpose and call to others. What have you done for YOU lately?

EMBRACE YOUR POWER!

(Written in March 2008)--After several conversations I've had recently, it seemed fitting to dig this one out of the archives.  Truth is consistent...

What a wonderful topic for me to have the privilege to share with you! I recently turned 40 years old and now, more than ever, I feel as if I have stepped into an authentic power. For me adding the word authentic is paramount and turning 40 was the catalyst for change. However we can embrace authentic power at any age.

One definition of the word power is “a position of authority”. Then adding the word authentic is about accepting the truth, which is that the only real authority we have is over our own lives. We have authority over the actions we take, the words we speak and the thoughts we believe. Possessing authentic power is about owning our personal Divine path…It is about stepping up to whatever it is you are called to do.

What did God put you here to have authority over? Whatever it is, it is unique to you. No one else can be it, feel it, or see it like you can. You can embrace it by choosing to live it without hesitation, limitation or fear. Seize your power with the confidence of knowing who and whose you are!

One of my favorite quotes is by Marianne Williamson, “Our biggest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our biggest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.” I keep the full quote on the back of my front door. It is there to remind me, before I step out into the world, to be all that the Creator has intended for me to be. I am reminded that playing small does not serve anyone. Each one of us is responsible doing our part in enriching the world.

I believe that in the end, when we all return to the Eternal Spirit as One, the only truth that will matter is whether or not we did whatever we were supposed to do to uplift humanity. Or were we too busy living in fear and playing small?

It is like this…If you had a beautiful bright bulb that could illuminate your entire house, but you never turned it on--then you would live in darkness. Embracing your authentic power is very much the same concept. It is like turning on your spiritual light for the world. Yours might just be the illumination that brings someone else out of confusion, suffering, and darkness. Hmmm…when you think about it like that it really seems almost selfish to not become your most powerful self, right?

So wait no longer—Step up today and Embrace Your Power!

Namaste,
