It isn't what you have, or who you are, or where you are, or what you are doing that makes you happy or unhappy. It is what you think about.”
Dale Carnegie
Tomorrow I leave for Hawaii. My intention is to blog while I am there. There is a chance I will find myself unrecognizable when I get there. Sort of like a balloon with all its air released. I am really looking forward to the space, the beauty and most of all the endless hours in the water. Being in the water inspires me more than anything. I am hoping to be so removed from the circumstances in my life that I get to tap into some really great stuff. Wisdom for me is wisdom for you.
This is my real turning point for changing how my life looks. I will be starting my coaching intensive at the end of October and changing my work schedule to flow with my program. It’s an exciting moment, a real moment of clarity and decision.
This is the part where you get to tell me what you are taking on or changing or committing to. I am very clear that I am not in this alone. It’s not enough to read something and have a feel good moment. It’s all about action. There is no action too small or too big. So please even if its anonymous or you give yourself a nickname, leave a comment about your action or fear that you are walking through. There is nothing too small or too big. Let’s stir things up and make something happen for me and for you. I appreciate the emails and the Facebook messages so much but for this leave a comment on the blog so we can see where people are and what everyone is dealing with. If nothing is up for you that is ok too. Just give me a smiley face to let me know you are participating.
I am really clear that change happens when you have courage to take a step. And it’s a lot easier to take a step when you have support. Be the change that you want to see in your life. Move in the direction of your desires and together we will change our lives and by default, the lives around us.
Today I am grateful for my mothers’ love and support. She is the essence of beauty, love and joy.
Hi Ash-
ReplyDeleteMy action is a commitment to moving through life without focus on negative thoughts that weigh me down. Its about learning to re-think my way thinking.
Its about understanding that my thoughts create my existence and not allowing my existence create my thoughts.
I love you :)
My action is to read your blog every day and to re-read it when I lose my way. And to continue to think of this as a 12 step program. One moment at a time, one day at a time. Am so grateful for your work

Ash,
ReplyDeleteI've so enjoyed watching you throw fear out the window and start to follow your dreams. This blog is just the tip of the iceberg. You truly have a gift for this and as is my nature I will always help you in anyway I can. I have endeavored to provide you with the soil in which to grow tall and to blossom. You have given me so much and I in turn have given unselfishly of myself to you. I want to help you to build B the Change into something extraordinary. I assure you I will be there for that. But you have been pushing me to look at my own talents and not to forget my own dreams. I want you to know that I have listened.
My action is now to take the words you have spoken and the steps that you have taken on my behalf and use them as the soil for my own seeds to germinate. I will throw my hat over the fence in the coming days and weeks and make a move forward for myself. You have shown me that I am worth it. JUST MOVE! ;) Bless you on your trip to paradise and on your life's journey towards real presence. B yourself. B the love. B the difference. B your dreams. B the change!
p.s. Here he is ---> :-)
Love your posts... That's one great nugget: "There is no action too small or too big." Oh, and, here's another great nugget............. :-)
ReplyDeleteMy sweet Ash,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the very kind words. I was deeply touched. I look forward to reading about your thoughts and feelings each day. I am proud to call you my daughter. I respect you for the honesty that you share in your writings, and the inspiration you give to others.
I love you very much.
MOM
PS..If I don't talk to you before you leave....have a great trip. Peace be with you.
Well, ashy you amaze and inspire me. My little sister has wings and she's flying now. I see , feel and here you. You great teacher , listener . Yeap it's so......your a coach.
ReplyDeleteAs per our great conversion last night . I'm doin a little flying myself. I arrived here in cordoba this morning and by the time you read this I will have flown in a parachute above the vally and passed a good time with a great friend.
It took a lot to leave my house and set out for a journey alone. But I did it baby and I'm fulllll of gratitude.
I'm on iPhone and can't see. No glasses. Anyway you rock and I'll ad to what you said about our mom. She stood up "literally" for me and she is my angel and I love her mucho. Bye bye for now . Should I get on a plane and come share that water with you???? Jaja. All my love bro Jeff
I lied to a friend who cares about me. I didn't feel I would be supported in the way I needed. I didn't want to feel judged. You see my fear is to be abandoned by the ones who care about me the most. Now I feel awful and she is crushed. I wasn't a good friend. I should have told her the truth no matter how much she disagreed. So, my fear won. And I lost her trust. So this weekend, I want to speak the truth and not give attention to my fear.
ReplyDeleteI commit to wellness. Physical and mental. Stopping the fear and worry that comes from consumption on the future and what is lacking, vs. a focus on the present and being ok with what that entails....
