A "Wild Woman" celebrating commitment to Self

 

 

 

 

 

“You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserves your love and affection.”

Buddha

 

 

 

 

What is it going to take for you to fully commit and take action?

 

 

A client of mine at this past weekend’s Wild Women’s Intuitive Painting Retreat shared a book with me that she wanted to burn in our campfire. She said, “I am done with this book,  ‘Getting to I Do.’  I am going to focus on loving myself first–I am my happy ending!”

 

I felt this was profound.  Not just her proclamation of self-love and reverence but also of holding herself fully responsible for her own happiness. In that sense I found the book had made its impact. It might not have been the immediate result that she was ultimately seeking when she picked up the book – which was to get married – yet the result was one far greater than she could have realized at that point.  The result was fully committing to herself.

So then ‘Getting to I Do’, takes on a whole other meaning.  It spoke to me and I see it in my own journey and in those of my clients…what does it take to get to I do? To marry yourSelf? What does it take for you to commit to yourself? Your dream? Vision? Creativity? Partnership? …Your Passion?

 

Dreams, visions and desires are all nice. I will be the first to claim myself as a dreamer with a vivid imagination.  However, Champagne dreams are just clouds in the ether unless you fully commit to manifest them thoroughly.

 

Are you willing to get to I do, by taking the journey to what you want?

 

 

 

with love, creativity & commitment,

Spend an afternoon awakening and nourishing your creative spirit by immersing yourself in over three hours of exploration, expression, play and deep surrender.

 

The Saturday Visionary Painting class welcomes continuing students and first time painters, providing a space to journey through barriers of old patterns and stagnant, less-than-serving beliefs that keep you from tapping into the internal well of creativity, power and life force energy that is within you.

Learning to trust your self to make healthy decisions that support your growth and evolution is a valuable skill, yes?

The painting process has taught me how to listen to my intuition and inner guidance and how to honor what is in alignment with my fullest expression in the world.

 

I just returned from Sedona where I joined my business mentor and coach along with a group of 35 soulful entrepreneurs from around the world.  It was truly inspiring to connect with such a powerful and passionate group of women and men.  We spoke a lot about the power of making a decision and then taking action.  All you need to know is the next step.  When we create space to quiet our minds and listen, we can be more available to receiving our clarity.  Trust your gut–to take your life, business and self-expression to the next level. Committing yourself to your next best step.

 

When we make a leap and commit to growth, it is some times uncomfortable as we leap into the unknown….think about grass that is sprouting from the earth…it is bursting through the earths crust in order to share its beauty and gift of life with the world. Our growth process is similar, some times we must break new ground and really stretch ourselves to live and create optimally.

 

I had such a powerful experience that I was guided to another decision to invest in the highest level of committed soulful entrepreneurial masterminds.  I am so grateful to have found my tribe, lead by such a powerful coach and mentor.  It was easy to make the decision because I trust myself

and my intuition whole-heartledly.   Even if I am unsure of how it is all going to play out…I have learned over the years, that investing in myself, my creativity and in my dreams is the best investment I can make.


Ready to learn how painting affects how you make powerful decisions? A fun and insightful exploration!  There is a 4-week class that begins this Monday in the studio.  And the Winter Weekend Painting retreat at Fire Tree Studios is almost full.  Details below.

 

I look forward to seeing you in the studio!

 

with love, peace and creativity,

Melissa
