PEACE (c)Zoe Manzbridge 2010.

Hi 
 
I just want to share this amazing sketch that my colleague and beautiful friend Zoe did and shared with me recently. It is simply called Peace and really gives me a feeling of calm when I look at it.We have been friends for 3 years or so now and I had no idea Zoe could draw at all let alone at this level. How many more of us have amazing talents that we keep to ourselves?
 
This month is all about honouring our true selves and everything that we are. And YES, that means you too - what secret talent are you hiding? Those things you take for granted that others have noticed and you shrug off? Or maybe no-one even knows about them yet as with me and Zoe. I urge you to bring them out, let them play and frolic in the outside world - be PROUD to be YOU and share with others your amazing, gorgeous and beautiful talented self.
 
Thank you so much Zoe for showcasing your talent and allowing me to see yet another part of you and sharing this delightful moment. 
 
 
IN HONOUR OF YOU
 
There was some great feedback from last month's newsletter "I'm scared..."   and I'm happy to say it was all positive. Some of you hadn't realized how true it was and have taken steps to overcome your fears, obstacles and gremlins, and are now on the way to making brilliant changes in your lives. WooHoo for you!
 
This month I want to change tac so to speak and focus on honouring the brilliant,fabulous things we do every day to make a difference in our own world which often affects change in others. The small things, the big things and the things we do without conscious thought, just because we are who we are.
 
Take some time this month and notice what YOU do that others may not. How you personally help others for no other reason than just because you can. How you do your job better with more sincerity or integrity. How you take those extra few minutes to make someone feel better and don't take the easy way out when you're 'up against it'.
 
Celebrate October by honouring your unique, lovable, generous, delightful and talented self and bring your talents out to play so we can all bask in your brilliance. It may also be a great time to thank others for their own contributions.
 
If you would like to showcase a talent here and share it with everyone, I would be honoured to give you that opportunity and please don't think  that it isn't "good" enough. Let's all just get over that myth. It's official YOU ARE BRILLIANT! exactly as you are.
 
It doesn't need to be artistic, just something about you that you are proud of. I would love to showcase someone each month, so don't hold back or be shy.
 
note: When we were told as kids that we should be "seen and not heard" our parents and peers knew no better. Now we know that in order to succeed at anything we must be willing to become visible, to shine our light and say "I am here, I am proud and I acknowledge my worth."
 
Dare to be you! It's the only thing that you are absolutely sure of succeeding at.
Quote of the month

MY BIG DECISION 
 
I have decided to leave BETTER YOUniversity. After much thought I have decided to concentrate on my own business and came to a realization that I was more impressed with the idea than actually being passionate and excited about the actual project.
 
Being authentic and in alignement with my values and beliefs is extremely important to me and my "gut feeling" told me from the start that this project wasn't for me and my ego ignored it. I know from experience that if I don't listen to my body I will not be happy so now I am back on track and rarin' to go! 
 
B.Y is a fabulous new concept and I wish them great success. I am so grateful for the opportunity and give thanks for everything I learned there.

COACHES CHALLENGE   
 
I invite you to take some time this month and think whether there is somewhere in your life where you may be out of alignement with your values and beliefs. You may experience it as "discomfort" when you think about it. It may be a congruence issue where you are saying one thing yet doing another. Awareness creates possibility. No need to judge or think badly of yourself, we are all human and often just noticing is enough.
