On having a Vision...

Happy Monday! 
Hoping your week is off to a great start!  
Today I reflected on the importance of having a Vision. A clear view of purpose that leads to lasting fulfillment and satisfaction in life! Will your vision leave an imprint and define your legacy?  What is your vision for yourself?  How are you working toward making it happen?  What motivates your vision?  Are you actively working toward your vision? 
There are times when life's vision can be clearer than at other times. Taking the time to examine these questions periodically can be beneficial.  Many times we can hit the ground running and feel the wind on our backs moving us forward... and it feels wonderful! But there are also times when the vision becomes blurred with obstacles and hitting the proverbial wall can knock the wind right out!  Some of the obstacles can be external and some can be internal.  One interesting view I learned in a recent Brave Heart women webinar I viewed was that the internal obstacles are the most challenging ones. The ones created when achieving the vision becomes difficult, and the some of the  work involved in achieving the vision is tough, tedious, and not fun. Perhaps we don't enjoy or know enough about marketing, selling, networking, or studying innovative concepts...that are may be required for the realization of the vision. This brings stagnation and putting off the vision... possibly even putting the vision away for a better time to come around. And that can be a choice...after all, it is about choices.  However, time passes so quickly and having regrets is no way to honor your vision. The point is building the courage to break through the wall...dispelling fears and self-imposed limitations that prevent us from living our vision.  This is the time to take a step back to renew and re-strategize, seek support, collaborate, re-focus and develop an alliance to your vision and yourself. 
It is when challenges and obstacles try to block our vision is when we must focus more intently on what we set out to do!! Find your vision and stick with it... 

Peace, Light, and Well-Being,
Evelyn

What's in it for ME? Let it go....

Oh how time flies....It's been almost 2 years since may last post.  Life is what happens when you are busy making plans... :) As I reviewed the last post, I concluded that this time passed has served to help me galvanize my thoughts and feelings about authenticity and awakening during this period in my life... Now in my late 50's, I find that my priorities have changed and that living authentically is more important than ever! Watching my grandchildren grow begs the question.. what kind of a world will these little ones inherit?  And here we are ... in 2016! In my day to day work  I assist people in the impoverished segment of our community with serious medical and mental health issues trying to navigate a complex health care system.  Each day brings with it, unique challenges for the people I serve and for myself as a professional. That being said, it has become clear to me over time within the myriad of positions that I have had in the helping profession,.. that until we

On Being Authentic....

Hello all, It's been a while... the month of May is hours away.  I hope April was good to you! Certainly was to me as the family welcomed a new addition... a girl... Mya Julia to the world! My second grandchild! She is healthy and absolutely adorable, as you can see! I was thinking about authenticity... and the importance of being true to oneself and how we each have to figure it out what that means for us.  We are influenced by so many things.. environment, people, technology, location, society... a myriad of stimuli and information that pours into our psyche. It is up to us to learn  and decipher to find what we are truly comfortable with.... to live authentically! I believe it can take some longer than others to find this place of being authentic... As we move through developmental levels, we find that some things become more important than others and continue to peel away at the onion.  Peeling this onion is an ongoing journey, but the aha moments and the wonder of self

Hello !!  I found this and I thought "Hmmm...I need to share this".  I know at times we all can experience moments of doubt and fear... and we all also KNOW that focusing on fear and the naysayers will get us nowhere fast! Living in this culture, we can be faced with standards that are not only unreasonable and generic but potentially harmful! It impacts uniqueness, individuality, and creativity!  So I thought I would just remind you of how amazing YOU are!!!  Make it a fantastic day!!!   Peace, Light, and Well BEING! Evelyn
