“What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make.” Jane Goodall

You make an impact on the world. I guess you just have to decide what kind of impact you want to make. 

Hiding out for me is no longer an option in my life.  Trust me sometimes I just want to numb out and coast into tomorrow but my future is calling.  I haven't been blogging because I have been working on my other endeavors, one being an eBook.  It's so interesting what comes up when I am confronting my own uncharted territory- reason after reason of why I stop.  Some days I am so pumped up and excited that this is my life and I am doing what I love and then comes a day where doubt is like a floating cloud above my head.  Do you ever feel that? 

I have learned that I have to have go-to rituals that remind me of my truth, remind me that my voice matters.  So I am hear to remind you that your voice matters.  What are you holding back from the world?  You make a difference so take time to observe and reflect on what kind of difference you are making.  How do you want to remembered?

Today is your opportunity shine.

“To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.”
― Ralph Waldo Emerson

OK so I am a little behind in saying Happy New Year.  I am chewing on a lot these days, contemplating my plans and how and when I want to launch my eBook and other surprises I have in store.  This is my year to spread my wings and that can be a little scary.

I have been in preparation mode and that can start to get comfortable just like school did and I tend to want to stay in it.  There is something comforting about structure and having things laid out.
Now I stand at the precipice of making my work available and taking visibility to the next level.  I am excited and scared but know that it's time.

I had an experience at the gym today where I was in a class and I was right in front of the mirror shadow boxing.  Right left right left right left, we punched nonstop for what seemed to be eternity.  My instructor would yell out my name, "Give it all you got Ashley" and I did, and I went from feeling weak and like I wanted to give up to feeling strong.  I just became so acutely aware of the conversation in my head that says my body isn't good enough and why cant I be better.  It was crystal clear in that moment that I am my worst enemy.  I have so much to share yet I cut myself at my own knees.  It was a great moment to see my weakness and fight for my spirit that is not bound by limitations.

I say all of this because we all have something that is uniquely our own and sometimes you just have to get in the mirror and fight for it.  Fight for your vision, fight for your passion and keep fighting until you believe how wonderful you are.

Today is a perfect day to start......You fill in the blank.
