There’s no easy way to look back on life or decisions. And there’s certainly no way to predict the future. But we can start a practice, set beautiful intentions for our lives, and generate faith that our energy will will attract the beauty, love, and peace we desire. I started Wild Hair Ventures because life/Universe/God/Spirit (take your pick) pointed me squarely in this direction. My soul became so hungry to find a way to bring my gifts into the world, which absolutely involves being of service.
In turn, I’ve realized this path is so fulfilling for me because I get to experience deep, deep, DEEP connections with people. The kind of connections I’ve always wanted in my life. When I didn’t have this sense of connection, the sorrow that lived in me was unbearable somedays. But that sorrow and longing for real, no-bullshit connection with people was my trusty map - guiding me toward the life I wanted to create. I used to believe that people didn’t really want to connect, that surface-level friendships were enough for most. Now that I’m held as a confidant in the hearts of my clients (an honor so sacred to me that I would rather lose a finger than lose their trust), I’ve found my world views and heart opening up.
By sharing my gifts with the world, I am gifted beyond anything I could have asked for. It was an unexpected side-effect of finding courage I didn’t think I had in me to follow my dreams. I have officially become a dream chaser in my own life and this is the gift I can share with clients. There’s nothing more electrifying for me than to join heads with someone as they begin to sniff out their right life.
So today I’m setting some real intentions. This is my practice. I am not a full-of-hot-air kinda gal. As Martha Beck always says, we must “live it to give it.” And that is a job I take seriously not only for my own good, but for the benefit of all beings. Anything I share with a client is a talk I am walking. I’ve explored the ideas and methods I’ve learned in my coaching trainings, applied them to my own life, and seen many clients succeed with them now.
And as this day finds its one and only death, we can reflect on the events, our thinking, and how we responded to it all. Was it what you wanted? I can honestly say that yes, today I practiced all of these things and the day was tremendous. I laughed, I cried, my body was bursting with amazing sensations, and I made decisions from the track of love (rather than fear). As long as the sun rises tomorrow, we have a new chance at life.
Do you have a practice that energizes you? Brings peace or clarity? I’d love to hear your ideas!
