Let’s end the year with self-discovery and empowerment!

I’m excited to partner up with Louisa VanDerberg of Four Pines Quilt Shop and offer our exclusive Reflection Board Workshop—a prequel to the powerful practice of creating a vision board.

What's a Reflection Board, you ask?

It's more than just a collection of images and words.

It’s acknowledgment that you are already whole and abundant.

This workshop is designed to provide you with a clear reminder you’re already complete and deserving of the abundance life has to offer, laying the foundation for approaching your vision board with confidence and self belief.

Here's what you can expect:

Guided Self-Reflection: You’ll be guided through reflective questions designed to uncover your strengths, values, and aspirations.

Interactive Visioning: You’ll translate your reflections into a visual representation of your authenticity. This precursor to your vision board, ensures your goals are intended to enhance your true essence rather than seek to fill empty spaces.

Community Connection: Engage with like-minded individuals on a similar journey of self-discovery. Share insights, gain inspiration, and build a supportive network.

Don’t miss this opportunity. Join us for the Reflection Board Workshop and set the stage for a year of intentional living, self-love, and achievement. Step into the next chapter of your personal growth journey with clarity and purpose.

Event Details:

Price: $35 (includes all materials and a copy of my book, “If my Ass Were Smaller Life Would be Perfect and Other Lies the Mean Girl in Your Head Tells You.”

Have you seen that quote, "Do something that scares you every day"?

I thought about some of my fears.

Driving on icy roads.

Encountering snakes.

Walking in dark alleys at night.

I immediately decided not to do things that scare me.

I didn't give it another thought.

Recently I decided “I’m going to stop not doing things because I’m scared.”

I know the wording sounds wonky, but that’s seriously how it formed in my brain.

I asked for what I wanted, even though I feared rejection.

I said no, rather than agreeing just to please others.

I actively pursued opportunities that made me nervous.

And you know what?

Only good things happened.

None of the things I feared.

Intrigued by the quote, I decided to investigate its origin.

It was Eleanor Roosevelt who uttered these words.

Turns out she wasn't suggesting the scary things I had thought of.

Instead, her message is meant to encourage us to step out of our comfort zones and break free from the daily routines our Mean Girl tends to keep us in.

What's that one thing you've been wanting to pursue, but fear has held you back?

It's time to do it.

If you need a nudge or some encouragement, I’m here to help.

I love to blow things off and be lazy.

I’ve been working hard re-structuring my website, while at the same time creating the Mean Girl 180° Online Membership and preparing to be gone for the winter.

I’d much rather curl up with my dog, a book and a blanket on this cloudy 50 degree afternoon.

I probably could. There’s really nobody to hold me accountable.

Except me.

Then I’d be really bummed tomorrow, next week and next month for not getting things done.

So I do it.

Later, instead of being bummed, I’ll be excited.

A few years ago we went to Florida for the winter.

When we came back I had forgotten how I’d left my car.

Usually I leave it without gas and in need of a good cleaning.

That’s what I was expecting.

Instead, I had a full tank of gas and it was shiny clean.

What an amazing gift. Someone had cleaned my car.

Except, I’m the one who cleaned my car.

I gave myself that gift before I left.

And I forgot about it.

I couldn’t have been more happy and grateful.

We forget we are worth it and that we can provide these moments of happiness for ourselves.

When you think about doing things to create happiness for others, think about what you can do for you to create happiness.

Is there something you need to do and Mean Girl keeps saying, “Oh I can do that later?” Do it now and see how much happiness it creates later when it’s already done.

I bet it’ll feel like you gave yourself a gift.

I’m not a fan of comments based on looks.

Regardless of whether they are positive or negative.

I think everyone, including Mean Girl, should dive deep & really see someone for who they are, not judge, good or bad, based on size, shape or appearance.

Then this happened to me:
***********
My husband and I arrived at the track just before noon. When we walked in, he asked, “Will you go over there and get a program while I go to the bathroom?”

I agreed.

I haven't been to the track before.

I went over and picked up a program from the counter.

An older gentleman looked at me from behind some glass and said, “The programs are $3.75.”

I was taken back.

My brain was thinking, “I can’t place any bets without the program and I have to pay for it?”

He must have sensed my confusion so he asked, “You didn’t know you had to pay for it did you?”

I laughed and admitted I thought they’d be free.

We made a little small talk as I paid.

When he handed me my change he said, “The first race starts at 12:30.”

Again I was taken back.

"Oh?" I responded, “12:30?

"I could have swore when I called yesterday they said the first race was at 12:00”

He smiled and said, “Oh, we don’t allow any swearing here.”

I laughed and apologized.

He laughed and told me there was no need to apologize, then added, “But, we do offer confessions upstairs between 1:30 and 3:00”

I thought that was funny. I responded, “Do I have to pay for that too?”

He shook his head as he assured me, “Oh no. The confession is free.”

I told him that was a relief.

He went on to add, “But you will have to pay a penance.”

We laughed.

As I started to walk away he said, “Keep smiling, you’re a very pretty woman.”

I thanked him.

I was a little bummed though.

Our back and forth banter was pleasant.

But then the comment about my looks was disappointing.

After over-analyzing and reflecting, like my brain frequently does, it occurred to me, he probably wasn’t talking about my appearance.

Had I hollered and pounded the counter in frustration at having to pay for a program I doubt he would have found that pretty.

I think what he actually meant was:

You're pretty funny.

You're pretty personable.

You're pretty friendly.

I will gladly take those compliments.
************
When I wrote my book I created this design as a message to love and accept people regardless of appearance.

If you want to be an entrepreneur the first thing they tell you:

Identify “What problem keeps people awake at night.”

Then, figure out a solution to that problem.

I disagree!

The problem isn’t "what" keeps people awake at night.

The topic of the sleeplessness is irrelevant.

Generally it’s not just one thing, it's one-hundred things all at once.

The problem is, "who" keeps them awake at night.

That would be the Mean Girl in your head.

Mean Girl flips a switch at bed time and the thoughts in our head start bouncing around like the balls in a lottery gravity pick machine.

We can’t sleep.

Oddly, only 10 minutes earlier we could hardly stay awake on the couch watching television.

Why is that?

Perhaps because our thoughts were on the TV show?

So what do we do when Mean Girl is stirring things up?

Turn her off.

Reel in your thoughts.

Focus on breathing,

Focus on the quiet.

Focus on anything.

Just make sure you shut her down when she wants to analyze how you could have said or done something differently ten years ago.

Tell yourself a bedtime story that goes something things like this,

"When I go to bed I take control of my thoughts.

They are calm and quiet. I'm safe, happy and content.

I have nothing to worry about because I'm an amazing person.

I've done great things and I have faith in myself."

See if that helps quiet your Mean Girl so you can get some rest.

If not, please message me and I can help you.

Our Mean Girl speaks through us in mysterious ways.

And we believe what she says.

She shapes our vocabulary.

Then our belief system.

Ultimately who we are and how we show up.

That’s unfortunate.

Shifting her statements, even just slightly, could create huge changes.

For example.

Mean Girl says, “I don’t have time for that sh*t.”

Truth is, “That sh*t really isn’t important to me.”

That’s acceptable. Not everything is important to us.

But only one of those statements is correct.

Because really, we have time for those things we find important.

One statement makes us feel out of control.

The other gives us the power of choice.

Another example:

“I have to pick up the dog at 3:30.”

Really?

You “have” to?

Or you “get” to?

Yes!! “I get to pick up the dog at 3:30”

One statement subtly creates dread while the other creates excitement and gratitude.

I’m going to give you a challenge for the next week.

Notice the Mean Girl statements that your speaking (or thinking)

Do they create yucky thoughts & emotions?

Can you shift them to something that feels more empowering or exciting?

Try it for a week.

See what happens.

Let me know how I can help.

Recently I went on vacation with my granddaughter.

Of course, we took a bunch of selfies.

Upon inspection of the photos, I commented I thought my hair was starting to turn gray.

She said, “Grandma, nobody cares!”

A little further into our trip we noticed people were referring to me as her mother.

I suggested fewer people would think so if my hair was turning grey.

Again she said, “Grandma, nobody cares!"

A few days later as we ate a late lunch, I casually mentioned my class reunion was that night.

She asked, with some dread, “Do I have to go with you?”

I told her I wasn’t planning on attending.

Jokingly, I added, "Especially not with all this new gray hair.”

She laughed, and again assured me, “Grandma, nobody cares!!”

Could she be correct?

Is it possible, nobody cares whether or not I have gray hair?

I mean, I know for a fact she doesn’t care.

She wouldn’t care if I had rainbow-colored hair.

Or no hair.

Sometimes our Mean Girl gets us hyper-focused on our own perceived inadequacy.

We aren’t even paying attention to anyone else’s gray hair.

What would it be like if we believed, as strongly as my granddaughter?

Nobody cares.

Is there something you can let go of?

Something that when you see it, you can tell yourself, in a 10-year-old voice, “Nobody cares!”?

Cuz, whatever flaw you think you might have.

I can guarantee you

I don’t care.

:-)

Maybe she’s right.
