I hope all of you had a beautiful Mother’s Day filled with love. I sure did…it was wonderful to be with both my daughter and my mom on that special day.

For today’s Wake-Up Call Wednesday, I wanted to share with you the poem I wrote for my mama for Mother’s Day. My mom is one of my personal “sheros.” So mom, this one’s for you!

For My Mom – You Are The One

That’s my mom, Linda Grant, at our Easter gathering cooking up some love and good food!

You are the one
Who shows up every time
With a fabulous dish
And open arms
Ready to listen (really listen).

You are the one
Who smiles
And hands over the beautifully wrapped gift
And says, “This made me think of you.”

You are the one
Who arrives early
Just in case you need a hand setting up.

You are the one

Who sneaks into the kitchen
And does the dishes
After the party of 100 of your closest friends
(Who when thanked exclaims with a wave of the hand
“Oh I was just putzing.”)

You are the one
Who makes us all feel seen
And deeply loved
Hugging us saying
“Everything is going to be OK.”

You are the one
Who everyone wishes
They could call Mom.

I am so lucky!

Love,

P.S. I’d be honored to have you share my poem with your community and to hear from you. Please let me know your thoughts below!

It is all too easy for us to sleep walk through our lives. So for today’s Wake Up Call Wednesday, I simply want to remind you that you can choose to feel alive and vibrant right here, right now. One of the amazing Inner Wisdom Golden Circle members read this quote on our call last night:

“Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.”

-Howard Thurman

So I ask you, dear one, what makes YOU come alive? Let me know here.

With unstoppable Enthusiasm,

P.S. I hope you will take a moment right now to close your eyes and remember what lights you up. And then honor that today!

· It’s OK to Ask for Space & Not Everyone Is Your Friend: Four year olds are learning so much about how to interact with others. When one of Bella’s classmates started in with the phrase “You’re not my friend anymore” my heart broke. Geez! At four years old? But then I realized that it was simply an expression of needing space.  And that is OK. And guess what?  Not everyone IS your friend…in other words, we can all get along and be kind, but we’re not best friends with everyone we meet. We don’t resonate with everyone. We gotta find our tribe. So Bella and I decided the best phrase to use was “I need some space right now.” I encourage her to trust her Inner Wisdom about who she truly resonates with and to find ways to express it that are kind and respectful. Do you ask for space when you need it? And do you allow yourself to truly be AT CHOICE with who you let into your inner circle?

· Art is Not Optional: When did we ever get the idea that art and creativity was optional? The notion that some people are artists and creative and some aren’t is a Big Fat Lie. Take a tip from my little one (and my soul sister Shiloh Sophia) and get out the paints, crayons, glitter and CREATE!

4 year Old Annabella at her first dance recital!

· Do What Scares You: I watched with butterflies in my tummy as Bella conquered her fear on the high monkey bars. She was terrified, saying she couldn’t do it. It was too high. Too scary. We worked our way through it after lots of talking and encouragement, until she finally went for it. She let her feet swing and she got to the next bar. Phew! I was so dang proud and inspired by her. When was the last time you dared to do something that scared you?

· Painting Your Nails, Dancing & Dress Up Are So Much FUN: Uh huh. Yes. That’s right. Now throw on a boa, paint your nails done hot pink (or sparkly purple or fire red or jet black) and dance, darlin!

· Beauty is Everywhere: Bella sees beauty everywhere she goes. A feather on the lawn is a treasure. The moon showing herself on a cloudy night with a soft glow, stunning! The purple dress I throw on for dinner gets greeted with “Oh mommy…you look beauuuutiful!” Find the beauty everywhere you go!

· Hug, Cuddle and say “I Love You” as Often as Possible: This lesson still hasn’t changed… it’s only expanded. Bella still loves a big hug and snuggling up to her loved ones and saying “I love you.” She even asked me a few months ago if we could hug and count to 100. I swear those were the best 100 seconds of my life….I highly recommend it.

Your assignment, if you so choose to accept it, is to chose one of the lessons above that you’ll take on as inspiration for this week to incorporate in your life.

I’ve spent the last 3 days in Disneyland with my 4 year old watching her drink in pure magic…smiling at awe at Mickey Mouse and princesses and fireworks. I’ve had the joy of experiencing a profound sense of magic myself; the kind that makes me tear up and feel like a little girl again.

I made you a video straight from my heart to yours to inspire you to bring some magic in too.

Click play to watch it. (You may want to adjust your volume down a bit…lots of roller coaster glee and kiddos in the background!)

From my little girl to yours,

P.S. Please take a moment and leave a comment and feel free share.

For this week’s Wake-Up Call Wednesday I have a challenging question for you: What are you waiting for?

I’ve seen it time and time again with my clients…and in my own life. Our Inner Critics and Inner Mean Girls tell us Big Fat Lies like:

“It’s too late for me”

or

“I don’t know how”

or

“When the time is perfect, then I’ll go for it.”

So take a breath right now, close your eyes and ask your Inner Wisdom…if I stopped waiting, what would I do?

And then do it.

How can you start TODAY?

Let me know what you discovered below…go public by posting your commitment in the comments below!

With unstoppable enthusiasm and great love,

  P.S. High Achieving Women who are READY to create more happiness and meaning, wanted to make sure you say the invitation to join me and Christine Arylo for our “Trading Your Golden Handcuffs & Achievement Junkie Habits For Your Golden Life” call tomorrow, Thurdsday. Go here for the deets: http://innerwisdomgoldencircle.com/highacheivers

Recovering achievement junkies, doing addicts and work-a-holics are invited. It’s time for us achievers to also learn how to be great receivers! Ahhhh yeah!

Dear One,

You know how it can be. You’re at a party or networking event or meeting and you suddenly find yourself alone with no one to talk to.

You feel awkward. Lost. Like a fish out of water. Like you don’t belong.  Yikes!

And then your Inner Mean Girl chimes in spewing Big Fat Lies. What are we to do?

I recently had an experience exactly like that, so I made a Wake-Up Call Wednesday video about how I took my power back and how you can to. Check it out:

It’s time for us to be our OWN best friend!

The movie ends with these words:

“Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot,

Nothing is going to get better. It’s not.”

- Dr. Seuss, The Lorax

This is why the world NEEDS visionaries like you . Powerful people who have a positive message to make the world a better place. Maybe you’re a coach helping people live their dreams and wake up to possibility, or a nutritionist who is dedicated to helping people break away from food addiction, or a parent who is taking a stand to help our children get a better education. Whatever form your mission takes, I trust that you are shining your light for good in the world.

You are part of what Martha Beck calls The Team.

And I’m so grateful for you and your message and your heart and your soul.

As Melissa Etheridge says, “We are the ones we’ve been waiting for.” YES!

And here’s the truth; I know how hard it can be to have a vision, a mission, a calling and be struggling with getting it out into the world in a big way. And be trying to figure out how to pay the bills with your bliss. I’ve SO been there!

I get emails everyday from Team members, visionaries, asking me how I’ve managed to create my business, get my book deal and get my message out into the world, all while having a young child in tow. I wish I could personally respond to every single email and invitation for lunch so I can spill the beans. This Wednesday’s webinar is my response to those requests for help and support. Go here to sign up.

The truth is that it hasn’t been easy (and still isn’t…I want to keep growing and stretching and each level of success poses new challenges). My Inner Mean Girl and her Big Fat Lies have gotten in my way, led me astray and made me feel lost on my path. Throw in marketing strategies, click thru rates, sales pages, book marketing and UGH! It can be enough to put any visionary back into bed.

That is why I’m doing a complimentary webinar with my dear friend and fellow visionary, Dr. Lissa Rankin. She’s been in my mastermind group for a year and I just adore her. And I’ve personally watched her go from frustrated entrepreneur to blissed out six figure book deal, TED talk super star. It’s jaw dropping!

We both feel so much inspiration to share all the secrets we’ve learned on our path. Consider this a team meeting for visionaries and way-finders. We’d be honored to have you join us. It’s our gift to you!

Visionary Ignition Switch:

10 Red Hot Secrets to Fire Up your

Message, Money and Meaning in the world

Tune into the webinar live via phone or webcast or grab the recording afterwards.

Register for the webinar here: I’m ready!

On this virtual event you’ll discover:

- The simple thing that quadrupled Lissa’s newsletter subscriber list in 1 month (if you’re not doing this right now, you’ll honestly have a “no duh” moment!)

- The mistake Amy almost made that would have cut her book sales in half (this is so simple you’ll flip out!)

- The one thing Lissa’s agent challenged her to do that changed everything (we will give you the same homework assignment!)

- The best way to turn your sheros and heroes into business partners and friends (get ready to tell your Inner Critic to take a hike!)

- And MORE!

Sign up now gratis and invite your visionary friends so you and your friends can avoid making the same mistakes we made and skip straight to the juicy part of realizing your vision and watching your business – and your life – thrive.

Sending you so much love!!!

With unstoppable enthusiasm,

We are going to give it up and dish so we can all realize our visions and make the world a better place.
