Orlando - Be The Change

What I know today is that I have been away at an amazing event and am feeling a little bit guilty over not posting for several days!  I had intended to have my materials ready before I left so that I could schedule them to post while I was away like I didn't miss a beat!  My best intentions fell apart and, in my preparation to leave to Orlando for my training, time ran out.  A lesson for all of us that no one is perfect.  The world still goes around, and even if we can't get to something, it isn't the end!  I didn't want to let my readers down, but I realize that you will be OK without my posts for a few days!

I went to Orlando, Florida for a conference called Be The Change.  The inspiring woman behind this amazing event is Suzanne Evans.  I have been following her for a few years and she is an amazing example of living your purpose.  She is a joy to listen to, simply because she speaks from the heart.  She teaches, while providing laughs at the same time.  Truly inspiring!  Stories we heard from others who have followed her program and have become successful entrepreneurs are a testament to her wonderful talent!

For me, I truly have come home changed.  While I was there, I made a decision that literally brought me to tears.  As Suzanne spoke, it was as though she was speaking directly to me.  My work is about getting out there and helping more people.  I don't want to leave this life with the music still inside of me.  I was teary-eyed all morning knowing that I must take this bigger, and yet it is all so scary.  How will I do it?  It seems so overwhelming with all that will need to get done!  I am not technical at all, all I want to do is what I do!  Who has time to figure out all this computer techie stuff?

I decided to join her advanced coaching program.  As she spoke about the benefits of her coaching, I was fighting tears.  When it came time to sign up I was shaking.  Not because of the financial commitment, but because I knew this was so right for me.   I was teary because I was FINALLY saying yes to me and to my purpose.  I know if I do what she asks me to do, I WILL succeed.  I have been wanting to take my teaching onto a bigger platform for a number of years now, and the dream is coming true.

The really scary part is doing something that I have never done before.  Something that I don't even know that I am capable of.  But I must try.  I don't want to look back at my life and wonder what it could have been like if I had tried.  I must be the change that I want for my clients.  I must do this so that I too can lead the way.

As I said in my very first post, I am done with ordinary, and settling for a mediocre life.  There has to be something better than this!  It is time to create big changes in my life and, in the process, show others the way.  It isn't just about making money (although that will certainly be a bonus, as when you make more money you can help more people.)  It is about helping more people.  When Ellen Degeneres gives away cars on her show to struggling families, that makes my heart swell.

I am making a commitment to all of you that I am doing this and ready to take this bigger and on-line.  My dream is helping people to find their purpose, re-design their lives and teach them that they can have it all.  I have been teaching and coaching for nearly a decade and it is time to share the tools and knowledge I have learned along the way.  The tools get results, but not unless I am teaching others how!

Stay tuned - you will see big changes in the coming months ahead!  Thanks for sharing this journey with me.  My dream is that you too will be inspired to Be The Change!
