As many of you have noticed, my work has shifted, back-peddled, and turned on its side, trying to find its place of center. With the help of my amazing coach and dear friend Amber Lilyestrom I finally feel like I'm coming home to the purpose that has eagerly awaited my arrival for some time. Things will, of course, continue to shift as that is the course and way of life, but the path before me is clear, and I feel the gratitude pouring over me. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for being with me on the journey!

This clarity was not reached overnight. It's been baby steps and giant leaps, but one powerful realization underlies all of it. About a month ago, my best friend and I were sharing the aspects of our business that we found to be soul-sucking. We knew it was no longer work we wanted to do, but couldn't justify movement around it at the time. And that's when I said it:  I'm in the business of service, and I feel more like a servant doing this work.  

Can you believe it's already September? When did that happen? This quick passing of time (though really just an illusion) reminds me of the importance of staying present and enjoying every day we have here on this Earth. The preciousness of life is easily forgotten when we are stressed with bills, work, to-do lists... the list goes on. In those moments of overwhelm, the greatest thing we can do is push the RESET button and re-evaluate what is important to us and how we want to feel!

So what is a life review? We might have heard this term used to describe the process one goes through after they've crossed over. It's an opportunity to examine the life and see how well you lived. How much love did you give?  How much joy did you experience? And when did you withhold it? The classic tale of A Christmas Carol has Ebeneezer Scrooge transformed by his own life review.
