Mindfulness is a pause.


It is interesting to think that 6 mornings have come and gone since I last wrote to you. Today makes it the seventh. Seven days of your life and my life come and gone, just like that.

How often during these days did you feel mindful? When I say mindful, I think of mindfulness as being on purpose, of giving yourself the time to think and to be, as you want to be. To get quiet enough to hear your deepest thoughts. Not just the thoughts of daily existence but those richer thoughts of who you are and where will your journey take you figuratively and actually.

During these 7 days, last Wednesday in fact, I traveled home from California and landed back in Colorado. In doing so I was ready to move through the stages of fully preparing for the winter months ahead. Ready to embrace the upcoming season with joy in my heart and the opportunity to travel inward a bit more.

Over the weekend, as I did the final work of putting my garden to bed until spring. In doing so, I had the deep and rich feeling of coming home. The sensitivity and the need to nest, making my surroundings as cozy as possible inside as I tucked in my garden outside.

During this introspection I thought about the Victory Circles women’s mastermind coaching groups that I have facilitated over the past 16 years. They have been a big part of my heart and my business. I thought of the wonderful women I have come to know and coach through a variety of Victory Circles over the years. Those gracious heart based entrepreneurs making a difference with their business ideas and dreams.

This past June I completed what was going to be my last Victory Circle. I had felt it was time. With my husband’s impending retirement, I wanted to have more time to do other things. Well, as the saying goes, a woman has the prerogative to change her mind. :) During this past week with all this mindfulness going on I had a very vivid dream that I could not shake. After much thought, I have decided to facilitate at least one more Victory Circles starting in January.

What became clear in thinking about this is that I want to bring together 8 women who have a burning goal, dream or desire that they want to bring to life in the first 6 months of 2023. To be able to achieve the goal surrounded by the support of other like-minded women along with the coaching tools I have available. If this is you, and you are a woman (sorry guys) that would like to participate please reach out and let’s have a conversation to see if this mastermind is a fit for you.

Here is a link to schedule.

Until next Monday, have a most amazing week ahead and keep this acronym for home in mind.

Give yourself the time and space you need because my friend you deserve it! And you never know what epiphanies will come from truly coming home.

P.S. Today's picture above was the beautiful moonset I got to experience over the pacific ocean last week before heading home.
