The greatest thing about our life is that we get to choose how we live it.  Yes – believe it or not, it's true.  Living within our comfort zones allows us to feel safe and secure.  What is it like to visit the edge of your comfort zone?  Well, it's like standing on the edge of a cliff, where you can see the beautiful green pastures below; you want to go there so badly but how?  Perhaps you have to jump, perhaps you need to find a rope to climb down there, find secure footholds so you can maneuver down the side of the cliff one step at a time, find a helicopter to assist you in your journey.  Standing on the edge doesn't serve you.  What is your edge?  My challenge to you this week is to go beyond your edge and experience it and see what lessons you learn.

If you are scared to speak up and stand your ground in a relationship, choose to take a stand.  If you feel jealous or envious, choose to listen, love and understand.  If you feel like you have been treated unfairly, choose forgiveness and not revenge.  If you have been let down by someone or a circumstance, choose to see that the past cannot be changed and that they did not know different.  It's not to say that the edge is something that you need to overcome and accept; it's just that if we never even visit beyond the realms of our comfort zones, we cannot clearly define our own values and beliefs and we just stay put.  Do yourself a favour and take a journey outwards and be open to what lives there.

I have had to practice extreme self care these past two weeks.  With sudden deaths amongst families of my circle of friends to intensely emotional and painful situations amongst my clients and loved ones, I have had to dig deep and find the best way to take care of myself.  In the past, when the world around me seems to be falling apart, I have let it do just that to MY world...let it fall apart.  This time it's different.  One of my best friend's Renee said to me this week "You are just so happy, you are glowing" and although I feel the pain that those around me feel, I have found a way to still let my own light shine.  What have I learned?  I haven't been able to put my finger on it clearly yet, but I sense that it is allowing my love and appreciation for what I have in my life to take LOTS of space in my head and my heart and by doing so, I can give my support without judgment or advice and just love unconditionally.
