I can’t believe all of the conversations I’ve had this week about people being in “transition”…life is sort of up in the air…things are pretty unpredictable…even unstable…BUT…the cool part is…when I ask people…”so what are you gonna do?” they start telling me wonderful things that start with one of these sentences…
“Well I was thinking I could…”
“Something I’ve always wanted to do is….”
“This is giving me the motivation to finally….”
……and other wonderful phrases like that……
I challenge you this week…NO, TODAY…to ask yourself this question…
then ask yourself……
and then think hard about this one…
Maybe THiS IS YOUR TIME!!! Don’t let uncertainty get you down…let it PROPEL you toward the stuff that you’ve been thinking all along…..
I love times like these….I keep hearing the most amazing ideas…I can’t wait to see what comes from all of it…I am going to journal these very questions AGAIN today.
MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR LIFE!!!
It IS time!!!
Lots of Love
Melody

crazy that you wrote about this today, my new favorite line to everyone is “i’m in transition”, after struggling mentally and emotionally for 5 years, I to am saying, I want to this, I’ve been wanting to do that, I sometimes or almost always feel like I can’t get my life into perspective. I feel so lost. I feel like I know what I want to do I just don’t know how to get there.
thank you- I need to step out of the cage and FLY!
Perfect day for this. I have been waiting for a change for years. I think the time is near to quit waiting and take the creative plunge. You girls are great and so very inspirational. Thank you for all your support.

What’s most important is the hardest to get to. What I really want is at the end of a scary, rocky road. The right answers are so rarely the easiest ones.
i’m with you! in fact i no longer ponder what i’m going to do next, i’ve already begun … the wheels are moving forward, and sometimes it feels like i’m going so fast the wheels might come off, but they’re on snug and tight for the first time in my life. the wheels are fixed on with self-love and they ain’t never lettin’ go!
i have a sense of joy i haven’t had in years, maybe since i was little and knew what it was like to spin ’round in circles, get dizzy, fall and not care one iota because the feeling of freely spinning was what mattered. being in a better place for me translates into a better place for my family, but right now i’m focused for the first time ever on me.
as the buddha advises, i’m lighting my own candle so i can someday have the capacity to light candles for others while keeping my own burning bright.
thanks for all you do, brave girls club — i am a member for life:-)
This is much needed today! I hear you loud and clear. I am going through a lot of changes right now. House, job, mental/emotional stuff and physical things. I am defiantly in transition right now on a lot of levels, which is scary and exciting. I am trying so hard to listen to my inner guidance and be reasonable and logical at the same time…Thank you Melody!
YES.
IT.
IS.
TIME.
SMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOCH

thanks you for this…….you saved me this morning…….
Funny that this is posted today. I just finished Body Restoration and feel like I spent the past few weeks in the “goo”. I am slowly emerging into that butterfly and doing new things…..it has given me the motivation to move forward
Thank you again for all you do!
for ten years i went to every gift and apparel market i could with my jewelry line… and then one day… it seems like everything changed… a big part of it was having a baby at 43! i sort of started waking back up at The Creative Connection (thanks for the class there…) and Soul Restoration I has kindled a fire in me… again. So, today i went down to the Dallas Market to scout around and see if i’m ready to get back in the rat race. and you know what? those very same questions came to mind… what IS my heart saying to me? what do i really, REALLY want? what IS most important to me?
THIS time, Melody and Kathy… I’m going to do things MY way. Not the way all the other designers do it. I’m going to do what I’m best at… creating… and taking care of my beautiful family… here. right here. where i have a very soft place to land.
So, I want to thank both of you… and all those around you that create this space for ALL of us to be BRAVE girls and to share this journey together! xoxo Big Love, Mj
I have been unhappy in my career for a while now. Fear and feeling beholden to a certain salary to meet my responsibilities have kept me from doing anything more than fantasizing about change. Every time I would think about “what my heart is saying” fear would tell me I couldn’t possibly leave where I am. How will I pay my mortgage? How will I manage?
Yesterday, I realized my salary isn’t what takes care of me. I took the first step and updated my resume. I started to look for a new job. There are a few positions in my field in my area. I am going to do some investigating to be sure I’m not jumping from one bad spot to a new bad spot.
I feel so much better simply by losing the fear, remembering who takes care of me, and taking concrete steps towards what my heart is yearning for…
Then this morning I see this post…absolutely the icing on the cake! Thank you for listening to your heart and following your purpose–It enriches us all!!
I am joining the chorus. I found Brave Girls Club and am enrolled in Soul Restoration 1 right now. It is a gift that has been given to me to see that there is hope. I too am searching for “something” better. I am divorced after 28 yrs. (not my choice), empty nester, cancer survivor, unemployed trying to find my way in the world and hoping my savings hold out until I do. So….living in the moment and figuring out what is right for me now and going forward is awesome. Luvu Melody, Thxs!!!!
YES! I feel like I need a pill for motion sickness when I read your blog because I find myself nodding so furiously in validation of what you say.
LOTS of love to you & Dramamine for everyone!
Ditto! I have also been thinking it’s time to fly out of my cage! God has been preparing me for something bigger and at times it’s scary. I’m so grateful to Him for placing you -Brave Girls in my path…confinue inspiring us to reach for our dreams!
I chose to walk away from a marriage of 23 years because it was not the best for me or my children anymore. The sense of peace and freedom it has given me are beyond priceless. Times will be hard, but with my heart intact, my mind on the future, and my goals in line, I know I can do anything! Because I already have!!!
I’ve been ruminating on the things that I am most passionate about, scribbling them on my whiteboard as I think of them. Today, I committed them, with my smelly Mr Sketch markers, to a big sheet of paper I hung on my closet door. We’ll see what happens next.
I love that this came out today because it is perfect timing. I got an email from my niece who is job interviewing right now for a positive change in her career and I’m sending her these thoughts. May all of us be propelled with our positive energy to live our dreams!
Funny…Talked about this today..I just got divorced. Now sister is getting divorced, now BFF calls with the same. All in one month…My wings are spent.
Melody you are helping so many of us in transition. I am also going through a devorce that was not my choice but I see I am not the only one going through this. After being married for 27 years and now my partner decides he no longer wants the same things is like WHaT? But now I see the hope and happiness that I can have. The life I was ment to live is near at hand. Your truth teller leads you always in the right direction. Melodys classes are amazing and will help you find your true life. I am so thankful that The Brave Girls club came into my life. It is one of the things that is helping me get through this life change. You are loved is the comment that helps me get through every day. Melody and Kathy You are so loved and I hope someday to be able to tell you in person.
This was perfect for me today… I am “in transition” waiting for something to happen so I can move forward… But I guess you can move forward even if it feels like you’re standing still! Thanks so much for this!!!
I don’t know the answers yet, not sure how to find them. Yes I am in transition I chose to leave my marriage of 15 years but I haven’t found the peace yet. I am still scared, unsure, hurt. I will start looking for these answers.
I needed this today…actually yesterday and the day before. Today when I woke up I made a choice to face the day and my life. Let life happen no forcing it into the direction that is easier to deal with for the moment. Because I have discovered that by doing that has led me into a very lonely, unhappy place. So today and forward it will be me doing what I wasn’t to do that feels right for me and then realize some changes are not comfortable at first but it’s ok! Thank you for you daily truths!
Melody…you are Gods gift. I know you listen so very carefully to Him. Thank you so much for sharing this. You get to the core, you ask the right questions, you make me change for the good. I love you so much sweet girl. xo Always… xoxoxoxo
