One of the things I love doing for people is holding their hand and championing them when they don’t yet see the light for themselves.

Sitting in the vantage point of fear, it is easy to get stuck in in-decision, stuck in what if’s and stuck in catastrophizing.

Where in your life are you experiencing fear and believing it to be true? We can get so caught up in the feeling of fear, it can feel so intense and it can come with REAL PHYSICAL SYMPTOMS that we get tricked by the feeling, into believing the story we are making up in our mind to be real.

“How did you live when you were on holiday?” He asked. – “Moment by moment, day by day. If I wanted to go in the sea, I’d go in the sea. If I wanted to go for dinner, I’d go for dinner. When I wanted a coffee, I had a coffee” I replied.

Each morning I take a meeting with myself.

I meet myself exactly where I am. No need to be anywhere else. I I look to see what’s alive inside of me. I look at what thoughts and judgements, fears and feelings I’m experiencing. I notice what is present in me and I look for the meaning in the story that is creating my experience.

I just meet myself there and I sit and I notice and I meet myself with love and I gently inquire as to what’s important about this for me.

I was asked this week to share more about my recharge weeks. Why I do them, how I use the time and what they look like.

I spent a few hours yesterday wandering around a place here in Vancouver called Granville Island.

Soaking up the little quirky gift shops and the art galleries. There was something very inspiring about the energy of this tiny island I feel will be included in the next part of my journey.
