The Sound of My New Space

Hello Friends, it's hard to believe that it's been 20 days since I last posted.  I've been in a whirlwind.  My book launch was April 6th - woohoo - and it was a great success.  I gave it all I had the entire Launch Week culminating with my official launch.  What I wasn't prepared for was the emotional low that followed.  You see I had been high octane behind the scenes for 3 months.  Growing three businesses and self publishing a book ain't no joke!  Even now, I don't know how I did it all - even with help.  I was P-U-S-H-I-N-G hard to get this baby out and once it was over I felt relief.  I could finally go to bed at a decent hour.  I could breathe.  Still, I hit a real low.  I didn't expect it quite honestly.  I thought that the work I had done with my Business Strategist and the products and services we had put together would be enough for me to move efficiently on the other side.  I was wrong.

Freedom Morning

There it was again.  That torturous theme that wakes me up crying and in so much emotional pain.  Trying to talk to someone and they refuse to listen to me.  I don't know what happened in my child hood that was so traumatic that I have this recurring dream...READ MORE  

Today I posted invitations to my book launch. I am so excited about April 6th. Already people are securing their spots with free tickets through Eventbrite's website, http://www.thesoundofmylife.eventbrite.com. Today, I reread my book as if I was a reader. I found some small things that needed to be tweaked here and there, but all and all, it is ready. Once I've gotten back the copyright information, the book will be ready to ship. Until then, we'll take pre-orders so that folks will be able to receive their book early enough to have it at the launch..READ MORE.

Book Launch Exactly A Month Away

Book cover....CHECK!
Landing page being developed...CHECK!

It's exactly 30 days until my book launch.  The excitement is growing and I feel it inside.  I ate breakfast and lunch today....CHECK!  Oh so important.  I got to practice what I preach.  I tell the folks I coach to take extraordinary self care, so I've made a pact with myself to do the same. 

My sweet boyfriend came over yesterday and let me put my feet in his lap while he looked at television and I typed on the laptop.  He wouldn't let me kiss him with my Tilapia and onion breath though.  Got to show him where in the manual it says the boyfriend is suppose to let the girlfriend kiss him no matter what...lol. 

It's those times that keep us grounded and sane.  Love, light and positive energy.  No drama.  No negativity allowed.  Nothing but staying open so that I can flow with where God is growing me to.  When I'm not concentrating on all that I have to do, I actually feel like I'm walking on water.

You know that Bible story in the New Testament where the disciples are in the boat and fear Jesus walking towards them on the water.  They think he's a ghost at first.  But that daredevil Peter says to him,"If you are Jesus, bid me to come and walk on the water."  Jesus simply answers, "Come."  Who in their right mind, not knowing if it's Jesus or not, would get out of the boat?  Most folks wouldn't. 

I thought about that as I meditated today and talked with God about all that's happening around me.  At first, I was lying in bed talking with him nonchalantly but something else took over and before I knew it, I sat straight up in the bed and with tears streaming down my face declared, "You told me when I was a child, 'Don't put me in a box.  I'm too big for that.' "  If You're outside the box, then I want to be too.  Bid me to join you!!  I don't want anything the box has.  I don't want to be confined.  I want to walk on the water with you.  And I don't want to get back in the boat (limitation) unless you are getting into the boat too."  I meant that thang, y'all.  I meant it down to my very bones. 

God is a GREAT BIG God.  And I want his predetermined GREAT BIGNESS for my life.  It's enough.  I don't have to be like anybody else or covet what anyone else has.  I don't have to measure my success by any other standard.  If it rings true for me, then that's enough.  Not everybody is going to be monetarily rich whether they employ me as their life coach or enroll in my coaching program.  But if it's what is needed for them to fulfill their purpose in life, then nothing will be able to stop money from running after them, jumping them and filling their accounts.  The wealth is to tap into your authentic core.  You own unique sound.  And I know I'm gifted to lead those who want to go.  How that will manifest in your life, only God knows.  This I do know though.  You'll feel alive as you follow.  The more attuned you become to that Knowing inside of you, that North Star, the more joy, contentment and satisfaction you'll have with your life.  This is what I'm living and this is why I'm so excited.  I'm listening, I'm staying true and when I feel myself deviating or being moved by my ego, I take a deep breath, check back in again and ask God for help so that I stay true to myself.  I know the sound of my truest self.  That's where the power lies!!!
