Surfacing...
Now that the new site has been launched, I have come up for air. I am thrilled with the wonderful response I have gotten from so many people about it! It's a great feeling to have created a place to convey what I do, what coaching is and to present the possibilities available to us when we are willing to go deep. I hope you visit often and post your comments and thoughts here.
I have been acutely aware lately of the ways in which we hold ourselves back and create limitations in our lives. There are so many ways that we do this and I am no exception! And yet, it is a choice. Instead of holding back we can choose to experience all of who we are. Self expression is at the root of being passionate beings, and without it, life can feel lifeless and dry. Think about all the ways in which you are holding back from expressing yourself. What if you chose to let go and risk feeling stupid, looking silly, being vulnerable or making a mistake? What's the worst thing that could happen? What if you took the plunge into the unknown and there were fantastic treasures just beneath the surface waiting for you? I am not suggesting you jump off a cliff without a chute, but rather allowing yourself the freedom to choose what you really want. Even if it is in some small way. Big ways are even better! What are you not allowing in your life that you really want and deserve? There must be something. When you uncover it, bring it to the surface and then do something about it. You will be amazed at how good you will feel.
Your life can be a ripe, juicy peach ready for the picking. Or it can be a dried out saltine cracker that sticks to the roof of your mouth. When you take a bite out of life...choose juicy.

It really is so simple, yet so difficult to just be ourselves. And that's what I like about your article Lisa - it is simple, easy to read yet packed with profound truth. Thank you for the reminder to take risks. Bigger is better, but any risk is progess and a step forward. After reading your article, I really heard "what's the worst that can happen", and with that remembering, the part of me that loves to take risks jumped forward. I now feel more secure (at this moment) about a small, yet meaningful risk I am endeavouring in right now. Keep 'em coming! Karen
