Taking up space together

 

Seems like every time I sit down to type or give an update the first comment in my head is... So much has changed... This moment is no different... which makes change the only thing that has changed... lol.. Let me just get into it!

Taking up space is what matter does. It's why it exists and how it's measured scientifically. Recognizing the desire to fill more space can light a fire in the soul. This can come in forms of filling more space in the day with sleep or laughter or spreading out into a bigger vehicle or getting a smaller vehicle so you can spread out and have a workshop in the garage. The thing that typically needs to happen is that last piece of my favorite recipe for growth ~ noticing, listening, and shifting. 

My very fresh experience with shifting created a new lesson that Im excited as usual to share. Shifting is not the same as growing in the same way organizing is not the same as decluttering. They work together but have different outcomes. It's a nerve-wracking feeling for me when it's time to declutter because my brain naturally imagines how I can use things which is not an effective path down the decluttering path. I see potential, creative solutions, value and that's a superpower I love about myself!

About a month ago I ran into an article about a business in Waverly NY that helps causes with fundraising and stumbled onto some sad news. A recent fundraiser they ran was a benefit for a dear friend of mine. In that moment I found out he had passed away. It stirred me. I noticed and then I listened and then I grew. I didn't shift around old energy. I grew.

My friend Brian created his weight loss success story, met his fitness goals and even established a career with focus on the motivational thought ~ keep showing up!

It's the hardest part most of the time. Things fall into place once we arrive. We just have to get there. We just have to be there. We have to show up. The only thing better is when there's more than one person showing up... When we're showing up together!

We can grow the momentum of a relationship, fitness goals, financial challenge, anything when people show up together!

It's a daily thought, or I should say more like a constant daily montra that has served me well these last few weeks. I will keep showing up. And I would love if you felt like you wanted to show up too. Because it would be extra magically awesome if we showed up together.

Examples of this:

Show up to love and be loved. Show up to be present and engaged and find others that are willing to engage back. Show up and be grateful for it all... The celebration and the challenge. All of it makes us stronger if we show up in the right way.

When I arrived in a place to show up for my dreams and goals last week I was holding a picture of Brian that had my hand written promise scripted on it that says "I will keep showing up" and not only did I show up, but I reached and grew and expanded and received too. Literally and figuratively. My private practice is expanding into another area of my building. It's a space that will house my dreams of serving the community with resources for wellness. There's space for development of  treatment rooms, there's a space for the sauna!!, there's a space for community classes and events like yoga, tai chi, meditation, sound healing, movie nights... And best of all it's a place for the community to show up. 

I am so excited to announce the expansion of my practice and I can't wait for us to show up together! Do you have an idea for a class you would like to see offered? Are you a practitioner interested in offering a class? Are you excited to see what is on the schedule? Reach out to me with a reply to this email and let me know what's on your mind! I will have a calendar of events up on the website under the events tab for quick reference and heaven help me it might be on social media too ( lol... But no hurry on that from me )

 

Thanks so much for all of your time and attention ~ sending you endless love & gratitude!
