March to Your Own Beat...Be Exactly Who You Are!

“There are absolutely no limits on what you can achieve. Your possibilities are truly endless, and you have the power to create the life and business of your dreams. You must find the place inside of you where everything is possible.” ~ Cara Alwill Leyba

Everything you want in life really can be yours. I never used to believe this because I had no evidence of it in my life. The reason I had no evidence of it was because I kept making the same bad choices over and over again and as a result, the same bad things kept showing up in my life.

It’s really quite simple…I decided one day that I mattered. Things didn’t change overnight, because at that point in time, I was only saying that I mattered, but honestly, I didn’t feel that I mattered. However…saying it was a good place to start. Looking back, I realize that it was a first step on a never ending journey of learning to live every day with joy. That doesn’t mean I don’t have bad days…everyone does and it’s part of life, but I know…deep down in my soul, that everything is happening for me…not to me. I know that there is a lesson in everything and we can choose to learn and move forward, or to be bitter and mad and stay stuck in a small, lonely life.

It’s such a game changer to learn to love yourself in spite of all of your quirks and weirdness and whatever else. Each and every one of us has an opportunity to invest in ourselves by taking the time to learn…and there is so much to learn!

In the course of the past 5 or 6 years, I’ve read more self help books than I can count. I’ve been to courses and master classes, done yoga, meditated, listened to YouTube videos made by people I have so much respect for. I’ve hired a coach, joined a year long program and literally journaled books. I’ve decided that it’s time to invest in me because I’m worth it!

I’m learning to honor my sadness, rejoice in the good times and trust that my life is unfolding just as it should. I’m learning more and more every single day that everything I need is inside of me.

Inside of me is potential, creativity and willingness to do the work! I am willing to put myself out there and continue to tell my story and my truth, to know that I’m being guided and embrace the endless possibility of what’s to come!

I know that the Universe can dream so much bigger than I ever can! I really have no idea of the outcome of what I’ve put into motion. I just know that it’s up to me to take inspired action, be grateful for being alive and trust. I’ve learned to tap into inspiration from mentors and friends and to surround myself with people who can show me different ways of living and doing things. I want to grow and learn everyday!

I’ve struggled so much with worry about the conflict in Ukraine, but the one thing that shines through for me is that I see that humanity is basically good. Human beings want to help each other and sometimes it takes a crisis to be able to see it. Even though what is happening is unfair and evil, human beings from every where and every walk of life are coming together in community to support the people of Ukraine. It is beautiful to be part of that and my hope is that the world will become more unified far past this time in history.

This post began as a fashion post because I really liked this outfit…the tee with the necklace and boots came together after I put on the pants (more about the outfit below). And then…I found the quote and the words started to flow.

If you doubt that your life can change or that you’ll ever see your dreams come true…this post is for you. I was in that exact place not long ago and now my life has completely turned around. I’m still working on forgiving myself and others and also learning to trust the voice inside of me that is always guiding me. It’s a daily process and a lifelong journey!

Are you ready to start your lifelong journey? If you are feeling that the answer is “yes”, consider joining My Journey of Becoming program. It has now become 30 days instead of 21 and includes a daily module (lesson), homework, a guided meditation and a voice recording of the module in case you need to listen while you’re in the car or getting ready in the morning. Inside of the program I tell stories of things that have happened in my life and how I’ve come back from a really dark and lonely place. I share my journey to self love and spiritual truths that will help you “find that place inside of you where everything is possible”.

This time, I’m also sharing more lifestyle tips that will help you take practical steps to build your confidence, such as healthy recipes and exercise videos. When you start to take care of yourself…body, mind and spirit, things begin to change! It you want to learn more about Journey of Becoming, click here!

I hope to see you on April 1 for 30 days of transformation!

Spanx just keeps coming out with more and better! Every time I turn around there is something new and fabulous on the website! These cargo pants are my latest obsession! They are a great transitional piece to wear right now and well into spring. I won’t tell you that they glide on because they don’t, but once you get them pulled up, you’ll love them and they do hug you in all the right places for a beautiful fit! I decided to pair mine with a tee from Zadig & Voltaire and my Chloe booties. I added a sparkly statement necklace just because I thought it was fun. This is my version of Spanx street style!
