What it's all about....

Today was an INSPIRING day.

I put the word inspiring in caps because it's the only way I can convey through technology that it was super inspiring. 

Not your run of the mill inspiring.  A knock down, blow your socks off, rock your boat inspiring!

WHEW!

Today was the day we unleashed our awesomeness and let me tell you I am exhausted {smile}.

Not just because it's been two months of hard work putting this event together and not because the day was long, but because the amount of information that spun through my brain, the amount of healing and realization that occurred in my body within a six hour period was life changing! 

So therefore the body will need a rest!

At the end of the day I was looking around the room at the 45 people who attended the awesomeness summit and I wondered how this day affected them.  It will be different for everyone.  Some might not think it affected them at all.  Others might be doing everything they can to contain their overwhelming excitement at the limitless possibilities in front of them.

I would be in that second category.  Personally, I need a two day nap!  I went from feeling fine and presenting my information to experiencing a migraine headache, exhaustion and then full energy again within a six hour period.

The shifts that occurred in that room were palpable.  You could feel everyone coming into their own awareness and it was amazing to be a part of it.

To everyone who attended.  You are the most courageous people I know!  You stepped WAY outside of your comfort zone today.  You totally rocked it AND you proved to yourself and the Universe that you are ready to get on with it!

I am so proud to know each and every one of you and I trust we will meet again.

To the women who stood with me today and gave it 110% for the benefit of everyone in the room and everyone in our community.   I am honoured to call you friend.  I am honoured to be a part of a team of women who believe in positive change and believe that they can be that change.

That's what it's all about!

My Miracle

Checking my emails this morning, I came across an article entitled "Discover a Momentary Miracle".

The timing of this article was absolutely perfect (of course!) as I had just come in the house after walking home from Yoga class.  I decided this morning that I would walk to the nearest coffee shop, grab myself a Chai tea and head to the lake to sit and enjoy the sunshine and the singing birds.  I didn't stay long, I didn't have to; I was filled up with appreciation for my life in that small moment of giving myself permission to just be for a while.

As I felt this appreciation, I was reminded of a time when I didn't feel joyful about my life.  A time when I felt burdened by motherhood and the list of self afflicted "shoulds".  My inner struggle sounded alot like "do I stay home to raise my kids or do I go out to work?"  I felt like my true calling was to be home with my children and nurture them and at the same time I felt guilty for not going out to work and earn extra money so that we could enjoy a little more freedom.  This struggle lead to a host of health problems, IBS, depression and anxiety.

Being reminded of this past situation I felt even more appreciative of my life.  I realized how far I have come personally and how much I value each and every moment of my life as a stay at home mom and entrepreneur!

My momentary miracle today is that I understand what it means to really live, Jenn style!  No more living for someone else, or by someone else's expectations of me.  No more inner struggles of "should I or shouldn't I".  No more questionning the direction of my heart.  No more apologizing for who I am.

Even if you are living your darkest moments, I believe you can find a momentary miracle.  Because; like the article states: "Today holds the chance to build new dreams, achieve new successes, and show new kindnesses."

What is your momentary miracle?
