Dear Friends, 

Use your inhale to lengthen your spine and exhale gentleness down your front. You can activate a feeling of warmth and connectedness by thinking of someone you love that makes you smile. Extend the warm feeling out around you. It has been shown that great leaders lead with warmth - warmth in the front, and have strength behind them. It only takes a few seconds to activate these qualities and it can change the way you engage with any circumstance. 

Here in California we have had an early spring. In my recent travels to Europe and Seattle I have been able to glimpse spring a few times over which has given me a number of chances to observe trees and flowers opening themselves to the warmth of the sun. Even if there are one or two cold nights, the buds and flowers will hang in waiting to receive the rays of the sun the next day. 

 I believe that we are similar and when there is a warm, kind feeling in the environment, we naturally begin to open to receive that touch of gentle, warm energy. Depending on our level of resilience, our system can take a few cold or judgmental thoughts or comments without our flowers - faith in interconnection - closing down. If we are mindful of the message we are sending out, we can increase the sun-like quality of kindness and interconnection. We can choose to shine even if others are caught in a more wintery kind of energy. It doesn't take a lot of time to invite spring flowers.... A more dignified posture, thoughts of something that makes you smile, and a willingness to radiate out into the environment - just ten seconds can make a huge difference in how you meet your life. 

Tiphani and I are excited about the unfolding of the LE work. With the help of our wonderful project managers - John Tuite, Anouk Brack and James Knight in the EU and Karen White in South Africa, we are looking forward to coach trainings in those areas. We are also engaged with clients and projects in organizations which continues to provide rich learning and an opportunity to share the work with more people going forward. We hope you will join us for one of our offerings. 

 Many blessings, 
Wendy
