dear brave girl…a little bird told me…

Dear Brave Girl,

You were born to fly. You were born to spread your wings. You were born with the ability and the right to make the best choices for your life. You were not a bird born to be caged.

Here is the definition of freedom:

free·dom
noun
1 : the quality or state of being free: as a : the absence of necessity, coercion, or constraint in choice or action b : liberation from slavery or restraint or from the power of another c : the quality or state of being exempt or released from something onerous.

If there is ANYTHING in your life that makes you feel like you are in captivity, confined, imprisoned, limited, in slavery, restrained or restricted at a soul level, please please please beautiful girl, listen to your soul.

So many souls suffer in silent captivity. Please do what it takes to help your soul to be free.

You are so very loved.
xoxo

dear loving girl…a little bird told me…

Dear Loving Girl,

We often forget something very simple…but very very very important; that we simply can not have faith and fear at the same time. We forget that we can not feel hate and love at the same time. We can not give resentment and support at the same time. We can not be in light and dark at the same time.

It takes lots of practice to choose the good things, the lovely things, the peaceful things, the right things….but we must always remember that this also means refusing the dark things, the dismal things, the faithless things…it means refusing to give in to the fear, the judgement, the anger, the hate, the jealousy and the old ways of thinking.

The beauty of it all is that we DO have a choice…and by practicing daily, we really can get there! Remember faith comes with practice, refusing hate and judgement come with practice. Unconditional love comes with practice.

These are things that are worth the practice. Because YOU are worth the authentic joy and peace that comes from these choices, and those who love you are worth experiencing that authentic & joyful you.

You are so very very very loved.
xoxo

I teach online courses…..AND I AM ALSO A STUDENT OF THEM. :)…and a little video for you!

Hi Everyone….

Body Restoration started this week…this is the 3rd in our RESTORATION SERIES….and it’s going beautifully. It is so humbling to be a part of this. I can’t wait to share more later…but today I want to talk about something different….first of all, I have become quite a home-body..and I am loving it. The thing I love about ecourses is that you can do them from home. I am working more from home, learning more from home…living more at home. I LOVE where my life is. I wanted to talk to you a bit about what I have been learning!!!! SEE…here’s me below sitting in my “classroom”…LOVE THAT!

There’s a video below that I made…and if you don’t have time…at least skip down to that video and watch it…..I made it as part of my friend, Jeanne’s ecourse. I wanted to share that with you………but here’s what this post is about….

People often ask me how I stay inspired, motivated, connected, etc. when we are growing so fast, doing so much and trying to maintain our vision, direction and keep our BGC rules………….well, I read A LOT. I meditate A LOT. I journal A LOT. and……I become a student as often as I possibly can…this means seeking out the right teachers…..because there is so much to learn in this big huge world, ya know? You really have to connect with your teacher and believe in what they are teaching.

I decided this year I wanted to seek out more teachers. I wanted to become a student…I am ready to learn new things! Soooooo….I have been fortunate enough to not only find great teachers, teaching great things, but in many cases…I have been asked to even be a part of what they are teaching. I want to tell you about a few ecourses that I am enrolled in….

Creatively Made by Jeanne Oliver (register here..but do it fast…only 1 more day and registration is closed!)

I have been so busy and wish I would have told you about this course sooner…because there are only about 24 hours left to sign up for it. The course is currently on week 2 of the curriculum and I am just loving it. I think it is a perfect addition to anything Brave Girls Club and I love everything that is going on over there.

…it’s all about finding, embracing and sharing your creative gifts…the gifts that only you have…with your own unique combination of personality, skills, desire, experiences, flair…finding the stuff that only you can do in your special way…and doing it with passion and bliss to bless the world…and yourself and those you love. It is beautiful stuff AND Jeanne is teaching some incredible art projects and art techniques too. Will you please check it out? She asked a few of her creative friends to share their creative journeys in a little video interview….she said it was ok if I shared mine too….so you can get a sort of taste of what the class is….(if you want to register..CLICK HERE)

OK the other fabulousness that just started today…that I wholeheartedly believe in…is HELLO SOUL, HELLO BUSINESS….this is a business class like no other…….it is written and put on by two women I admire adore and love SO MUCH, my friend Kelly Rae Roberts….and the ever amazing phenom, Beth Nicholls….so….people often ask Kathy and I how we have grown Brave Girls Club….and from now on, I am going to tell them to take this course….the material outlines how to start and grow and nurture a creative business and make it just THRIVE!!!!!!!!!!! It started today, but there’s still time to sign up!!!! CLICK HERE to check it out!

Ok…..I like to share things that have been especially helpful to me…..because I know they will be helpful to you. I think if you have time, you really can simultaneously take a few ecourses at a time….if you drop time wasters….when I am in this mode…I limit my social media and tv time pretty severely. I love being in periods of intense learning and growth…I am LOVING THIS. I will tell you about 2 more courses that I am taking soon.

Remember too, that you can still sign up for BODY RESTORATION…..this class is going SO BEAUTIFULLY and has been so incredibly received that I am just humbled. So much goodness is going on there for Brave Girls from all over the world…we would sure love to have you! xoxo CLICK HERE to find out more!

For now….I just wanted to tell you about a few things that are completely inspiring me right now.
I hope you will check it all out. I think you will be so glad that you did!
xoxo

dear uncommon girl…a little bird told me…

Dear Uncommon Girl,

We live in a world that goes so fast…faster and faster every day it seems. We are bombarded with information, theories, philosophies, stories, photos, ideas, inspiration — CONSTANTLY.

It is hard to feel like it is ok to STOP and just be. It is hard to feel like it is ok to be in our skin JUST THE WAY IT IS, and to be ok with our life JUST AS IT IS. It is hard to feel like it is ok to feel like we are OK RIGHT NOW. There is always something faster, better, shinier, fancier, cooler, more innovative, groundbreaking, earth-shattering, life-changing that we are told we MUST HAVE so that we CAN FINALLY BE OK.

You are ok right now. Don’t let this fast-paced world convince you somehow that you must keep striving, seeking, changing, polishing, upgrading, overloading, trading-in, trading-up, keeping-up — whew — just to START to feel ok with who you are.

Sit and listen to your breath. Listen to your heart. When it tells you that you are ok, that you are just right, THAT is the truth. Every day there are things we can work on doing better. There are things we can learn. There are ways we can grow, this is true! But right now, YOU, exactly as you are, you are ok right now. And it is ok to be happy. It is ok to feel at peace. It is ok to love yourself how you are NOW. It is ok to be content. It is ok to crave simplicity.

Listen to your heart. Go where the peace is.

LOVE LIFE. LOVE YOURSELF. LOVE OTHERS.

Do your best and then let yourself be.

Right now, today…you are so very loved.

xoxo

what would you tell a brave girl about money?

Sweet, supportive, loving, incredible Brave Girls….you know that all around you and all around the world Brave Girls just like you are struggling.  They don’t show it, but inside they feel it.  What if you knew?  What if you could see into their hearts?  What if she was your sister or your daughter or your mom.  Today our question is…

What would you tell a Brave Girl who doesn’t have the money she wants or needs?

Remember…she is real.  What would you tell her if you had a quiet minute together?  Leave a comment and tell her…she’ll find it.

xoxo

dear determined girl…a little bird told me…

We are all so funny about excuses, aren’t we?  We are so clever at thinking up all of the reasons in the world for why we can’t start, why we can’t continue, why we can’t stop, why we can’t show up, why we can’t do all of the things that we know for sure will lead us to all of the things we want most…(read more)

 

XOXO
