The Universe Is Waiting For The REAL YOU
Allison Crow, December 30, 2012
Hello Darling, so glad you are on this journey. I’m here to encourage and support YOU to become more YOU.
I know, you’re already YOU, but hear me out. If you are anything like the hundreds of women I work with or like most people (and even like me), at some point in life you have probably shed the beautiful parts of you that are MOST YOU out of fear, desire for approval, acceptance, and the deep need to be loved.

7 Myths About Finding Your Calling
Lissa Rankin, October 7, 2012
Finding your calling is all the rage these days. It’s sexy to find your calling. Everyone’s doing it, it seems. Finding your calling is the new black.
But if you’re one of the many who haven’t yet found it, the process of seeking it can make you feel psycho, like you’ve got a giant “L” plastered to your forehead and the Universe has shunned you, just like the mean kids did back in 7th grade.

Lissa Rankin, August 29, 2012
Tama Kieves was a Harvard-trained corporate lawyer doing what Harvard-trained corporate lawyers are “supposed” to do, when she realized her soul wanted to write books and poetry and help people find what their souls longed to do. Her first book This Time I Dance, is one of my absolute faves, and I love it so much I was almost nervous to read her latest book Inspired & Unstoppable: Wildly Succeeding In Your Life’s Work, which launches today.

You Can’t Quit Your Calling
Lissa Rankin, February 9, 2012
Those of you who know my story know the on-again-off-again love affair I have had with medicine (as I wrote about here). Time and time again, I have tried to stray, quit my job, turned my back on the white coat. But again and again, it boils down to one thing. This is my calling, and you can quit your job, but you can’t quit your calling. It beckons like a siren song until you finally surrender to it.

Lissa Rankin, June 6, 2011
I’ve tried to leave medicine at least a dozen times. Medicine and I are like that couple that keeps breaking up and getting back together again, the ones you’re sure are done this time, only they kiss and make up and ultimately wind up engaged, leaving you partly baffled and partly affirmed, since you always suspected they were perfect for each other.

Lissa Rankin, April 20, 2011
Saturday night, I returned home from New York City after a whirlwind week of 20 TV appearances, eight interviews with magazine editors at Glamour, Woman’s Day, Health magazine, Shape and other hot-shot publications, a Get Out Of Your Own Way workshop, and meetings with agents. Sunday, I was busy packing with my family to go to Lake Tahoe for my daughter’s spring break and to Big Sur to celebrate Easter (which happens to land on my birthday this year). Then the phone rang, and I found out that a major national television show you've all heard of (and that I've dreamed of appearing on) wanted me to hop back on a plane and fly out to New York to appear on their show.
I had been away from my hubby and 5-year-old daughter for a whole week, and we had been planning to spend this special week together for months. And I felt the familiar tearing between my ambition and my family.

Read More...The War: Faith vs. Fear
Lissa Rankin, March 10, 2011
From Lissa: I wrote this post yesterday, before a massive tsunami hit Japan this morning and made me wonder if the story of my internal war was too self-absorbed to post on the day a worldwide natural disaster strikes. I thought about taking it down. But then I realized it's perfect. We are always at war in some way- globally, internally. The secret lies in finding peace in the midst of war, for this is achievable, even when natural disasters, injustices, and war are unavoidable. May we pray for victims of the tsunami, but also for those of us who find ourselves at war with ourselves.
Something in me is trying to come out. I can feel it like this alien in my belly, a twisting and turning devil fetus with sharp claws. My life is not roses and violets right now. It’s dark nights of the soul mixed with moments of deep spiritual connection. It’s glorious triumphs and heart-wrenching disappointments. It’s heartfelt new friendships and tragic relationship losses.
It’s the best of times. It’s the worst of times.
Which is SOO not me. I’m the eternal optimist. I’m Pollyanna. I’m peaches and cream. I can find the good in every situation.
But something about this feels necessary. It feels like a power struggle between opposing forces within me. It feels like WAR.
