I'm about to make a major admission of error. I am hereby fessing up to a seriously flawed paradigm that has informed much of my adult life, and, (crap, sorry, apologies in advance,) too much of what I've espoused.

Tara Sophia Mohr has done it again. Be sure to visit her Wise Living blog, "Because more is possible for your life." Thanks, Tara!
I remember well the moments when I first began to turn away from my own B+ life. I began to allow room for the truth — the truth that I wasn’t fulfilled by the status quo. That the things I really loved I had long neglected.
I began, slowly, scary as it was, to articulate what I wanted my life to look like. Who I wanted to be. What I wanted to be doing.
Have I reached that perfect end state picture? No. I’m not sure it will ever happen.

Remember that scene in Pretty Woman, when the dude with the gigantic smile is yelling to Julia Roberts, “What’s your dream?” He’s the voice I hear in my head whenever I think about how I want to craft my life.
His question is such a vital one, and yet, when I ask my Change Catalyst coaching clients this question, way too many of them stare at me blankly. Often, they’re far from living the life of their dreams. Many have actually achieved the dream they had earlier in life, only to realize that it doesn’t make them happy. So now what?

How do you want to feel this week?
Stop and think about it right now.
Close your eyes and take a good in-breath/out-breath if it helps. (It will help.)

When the opportunity first arose for me to be a regular blogger on Owning Pink, I barely hesitated before saying YES! I had no idea how I would swing it – I have a full-time job and a young son, among other commitments, plus this pesky writer’s block I have been fighting for nearly half my life. But my heart responded to the offer without first consulting with my head. And as it turns out, I’m glad it did.

What was the very first thing you did this morning? Did you immediately jump in the shower, brew a cup of coffee, roll over and check your Blackberry? Was it an intentional choice? If it was, what message were you sending yourself about your priorities for the day, for the week, for your life? If not, and you made an intentional one instead, would it be different?

I was so sick. I had been vomiting every day, several times a day for about a week. If I wasn't running to the bathroom I was laying on the couch unable to function as a result of this strange "June Flu." This flu of mine was so severe that I had even called off work a few times in the last two weeks AND this flu was so body altering that I wasn't even getting my period.

Dear Pinkies, please welcome Tara Sophia Mohr, a life coach, workshop leader, and author of the blog Wise Living. Tara is here today with some thoughts on backing up and making time for ourselves, even in the face of fear that we'll be letting others down. (Sound familiar at all, Pinkies?) Thank you, Tara, and welcome to the Pink Posse!

The 21st of December is the day of Yule. The longest night. It is the celebration of the return of the light, and a first shimmering hope that spring will come to the land with the increase of daylight in the months to come.
I'm in the midst of one of those epiphanies Alice wrote about last weekend. I couldn’t think of anyone better to share it with than you Pinkies.
