Raising Grace Ranch
This little runt piggy spoke her truth to her mama in this picture. She spoke up to me a few days later.
She hurt her leg somehow in all of the tussling that goes on when you are a piglet with a dozen hungry brothers and sisters. One day I noticed that she couldn't make it down the step to join her family for a lazy nap in the sunshine. I saw her predicament and gently scooped her up, intending to carry her over to the others.
She screamed and squealed so loudly that every creature on the farm sprang to attention. She seemed to be saying, "PUT ME DOWN!! I CAN DO IT MYSELF!!!" She got her way, both because she was ear-piercinglyclear about what she wanted and because two 400-pound mama pigs were very upset with me for making her scream.
That little pig did just fine on her own. Her leg healed and she was soon running all over the farm, part of the pack of piglets that were too small to be bothered by our fences.
Her truth on that day seemed to say that accepting help from me was far worse than limping along on her own. I know how she feels -- I've squealed almost as loudly sometimes when people try to help me. Apparently, we both see value in the struggle.

What are
Strategic Visualizations?
Strategic Visualizations are a way to get right to the heart of the matter. If you are facing an important decision, business move, or life change, you can tap into your own inner wisdom to learn which choice will lead to your highest good. Following that path leads to ease, grace, and miracles as you step into the flow that is uniquely right for you.
In a single telephone session, you can move from confusion to clarity as I guide you through a strategic visualization that is tailored to bring you the guidance you seek. While you can learn to do this process on your own (and I encourage everyone to!), my coaching experience and fluency with energy as a Reiki master will turbo-charge your experience.

 Using Our Voice
Part of my courageous New Year has included being interviewed on the Dr. Pat Show on KKNW in Seattle and affiliated stations. What a kick to talk about my work and purpose with Pat on the air. If you'd like to listen, click here.
Speaking my truth in front of God-knows-how-many people got me to thinking about how much every single one of us has to share. Are you sharing your truth? Is there someone who needs to hear your truth?
It took me a long time to speak up and use my voice. I used to be very concerned about what people would think. What if I upset someone? What if they don't like what I say? What if they don't like how I say it? What if they don't like me? I'm now quite content to let people have whatever response they want to what I have to say. As Byron Katie says, "What people think of me is none of my business!"
I have found such freedom in standing tall and speaking up. What would speaking up look like for you? Are you afraid to reveal yourself? What's holding you back?
Take a risk and speak from your heart. Even if just one person hears you, you have lifted your energy. The more you share your light, the brighter it shines ... and we need all the light we can get.
Shine on,
Sharon

Changes to Raising Grace Lunch TeleGatherings
The Raising Grace Lunch visualizations offer a chance to practice going into your heart to discover your truth. Our telegatherings will see a few changes in February. These telegatherings will now be open to everyone who wants to join in -- men and women. Both will benefit equally from the new format. We'll start right off with a relaxation and heart visualization that will last for about 20 minutes. Once the relaxation is over, I'll stay on the line if you want to process and develop what came to you during the visualization. The end of the visualization will provide a natural break for those who need to get on with their day. I heard from some of you that spending 45 minutes together was more than you could commit to ... and you were too polite to feel that you could hang up on us! I hope you can gift yourself enough time to join us for 20 minutes often. You will be refreshed and have a powerful image to carry forward into your week that will help you stay in the good feeling.When: Tuesdays at 12:05 (eastern time) Thursdays at 3:05 (eastern time, 12:05 pacific)Where: (605) 477-3000 Access Code: 966237#
Note: We'll start at five past the hour to give you a chance to dial in and get settled before the meditation. I will be on the line on the hour for those who show up a few minutes early.Cost: A suggested donation of $5 per session or $15 per month. Use the link below to donate using PayPal, which will let you put in any amount you choose. Thank you for you.
