    Starting right this minute, because excelling in imbalance sounds like something I can do! It has been one of those weeks for sure BUT I am going to take all the challenges and meet and exceed them!

    I LOVE YOU!

Ignite & Inspire: Facing your fears

Posted in WritingTags: , , , , ,

    Good strategy, Lesley! I am sometimes fearful as well, but we’ll be stronger afterwards 🙂 xoxoReplyCancel

    love your honesty….and I do the same – feel like hiking under the covers when fear seems to creep in. Just by changing your thought patterns to positive ones, changes everything. (Positive) thoughts create reality.ReplyCancel

      I’m so happy you found it useful Stacie! I get so bogged down with my fears that I found this to be a great way to deter them. Let me know how it goes! 🙂ReplyCancel

Last night, Mister and I laid out on our black leather couches, while the sun turned the sky a vibrant orange and red, almost the colour of fire. We relaxed into our glasses of bold Shiraz and talked about things that mattered to our heart. It was a lovely and perfect evening, just the two…
