As I started my own business, I found myself trying to fit in one more thing in a desperate effort of feeling in control by doing. One of the first things that "rights" us again is the experience of stepping straight into giving.

I define courage as feeling the fear, diving it anyway, transforming. This it what it means to live this courageous life. That's what I know.

As I was transitioning from part-time to full-time coaching, I felt such gratitude that I stuck with the challenges my Coach had placed before me--to not leave the job in a huff of frustration or in the darkest moments, but instead to fully clean up my side, to get in integrity with me. I became flooded with gratitude for my teaching job and everything that came along with it.

Deserve. What a loaded word! Who deserves to have their wishes fulfilled, and who doesn’t? And if one is not deserving, how does one become deserving?
