Authentic Life :: It's Not Always Easy

Authentic Life, what is it? More importantly, Why did I agree to it? And, have the strong nudge to teach it, share it, model it for others? Here I am, sitting with a boatload of ideas, plans and projects, and I'm playing this game with myself. Authentic Life is about eating, living, leading, loving from our truth, our wholeness, our realness. NOT what we always want others to see. As I prepare to invite friends and neighbors over to my home for class on Cleaning without Chemicals, and a few workshops on using Essential Oils for a healthy, holistic support system for change and emotional wellness, I'm frozen. Why? I'm worried I'll be a bother. People are busy. They don't want to add something else to their calendar. OR, do they? What if my discomfort is not about them. It's my stuff. Managing my fear of what they will think. Funny, on Facebook, I'm not hiding as much as I do in person. When it comes to reaching out via phone or text. What if I'm not inviting them and they WANT to learn, grow, become more aligned with who they want to become as Authentic Leaders who lead with Grace and Power? What if my sharing of this information would help heal them and their families by incorporating a new paradigm of seeing how to live with less chemicals in their bodies, homes, lives? What if they want to make a difference for our planet? I'm getting on the phone. To share about my little classes and workshops, as well as to invite them into a larger vision. One where we all come together and learn from each other. Talk, share, love, grow in community? (LIke my mom did in the old days when the neighborhood moms met for coffee at each other's houses?) Where do you need to stand up and share some of your wisdom? Where are you allowing others to take your power? Your voice? Your vision? I'm taking a stand for me, my power and vision today. Join me?
