He has called me to be brave and courageous!

I have never really thought of myself as brave, but I am learning to be brave.  I am learning to come out of my comfort zone.  I am learning that the thing that I fear the most, only has the power over me that I give it.  I am learning that I am so much more able than I recognised.  I am learning that when I commit my ways  to God and acknowledge him, he will direct my paths.  I have never seen myself as a leader but I am learning to lead.

Being a mother of two young sons and running my three businesses has taught me lessons that I am forever grateful for, I am not the woman I once was and am constantly learning and evolving and learning to be the woman God wants me to be.

Sometimes the opinions and views of others make me question and second guess my passion and my purpose.  Whilst these comments are often genuine and well meaning.  However, the Lord God has reminded me that the real approval that I need to seek in this life, is from God.  Also this life has no rehearsals and so should be lived and enjoyed in the present as Wendy Curran has reminded me of, with the recent death of Dr. Wayne Dyer.

A few weeks ago, I talked to women who changed their careers and they have reminded me of how important it is to be fearless.  I don't know if my story is unique to me or others understand my experiences, but I am learning that as I consult and am coached, that I develop, evolve, change and transform as much as my clients do.  I am learning to face my fears and limitations and not be intimidated by them but to actually face them head on, challenge, conqueror them and rise above them.

As I lay the foundation for Transformational Woman and Be the Change you want to see, I am developing a new awareness, especially as a Christian woman, I need to lay my foundation on my faith in God and commit what I do to him. Abby Elitzky-Kuin and my husband have reminded and reaffirmed this for me, that I need to be transparent, genuine and authentic.  I may not always be glamorous, not being glamorous doesn't prevent me from professional.  Moreover, my mission isn't about glamour.  It's about supporting women in transition, as they seek to transform their lives, to live the best and most authentic version of their lives.  Women like me who may juggle a variety of roles, motherhood is amazing but they also know that they have other gifts they need to share with the world as well.  They demonstrate that we all have struggles but these actually develop a richness and empathy within us.  A vision of what you want is where you begin and developing strategies and techniques to support you on your journey and taking incremental steps supports you as your transition and transform your life into the life of your dreams.

Each of us is an individual with their own passion and purpose, I believe that when we walk in our passion and purpose, often this is blessed and anointed by the Creator.  However, that doesn't mean we don't have to invest in ourselves or commit and develop and nurture our craft and what we do, of course we must. That's where and how our gift is developed, nurtured and honed.

The most high is revealing and showing me that how I see myself, is not how he sees me.  To him I am fearfully and wonderfully made.  I am learning that I am enough just as I am to support and encourage women on their journeys to transition and transformation, for I can only be who I am and nothing more.  Many may not be attracted to my message, but others will and they are my tribe.

My vision and my brand is based on my message, my content, for me it's about substance over style. Transparency, integrity and an ability to care, listen and provide an excellent and authentic service which will facilitate and support real change and transformation in the lives of women.

Be blessed to be a blessing!
