Have fun creating your life on purpose!

Before my first book signing, I had to come up with something to write.... what was it going to be? I took a scratch piece of paper and tried a few different things but nothing felt right. I then decided that it would come out of my hand when the time was right.

So the time came... my first book being signed.... what was I going to write? She was watching, waiting..... UGH. Then my hand wrote.... "have fun creating your life on purpose" WOW, that felt good so I decided to stick with it; after all I do teach people to have fun creating their life on purpose!

I have been over thinking every aspect of my life over the last... um... year or so. I don't move quickly, I analyze everything and I wonder why I want the things that I want.... I don't want to make a bad choice so many times I just stall, waiting for that nudge from the universe saying GO....GO.....GO.

I have received some clarity over the last few months, but even that has been questioned... by me. I had this beautiful man (beautiful in the sense of his energy, I don't recall what he looked like) walk up to me and tell me that I had knew what to do and that I should do it, that I would be OK. He told me that I wasn't trusting my intuition and that I should. He told me to jump... and I don't think he meant off of a bridge. :-) Then he walked away without every looking back at me. He was a gift, and his words resonated with me so much.

Still I ponder, I question, I trust my intuition... I trust myself with my clients, I know what I know and give them the information, why am I making this so difficult for myself? Hum??? Could it be fear?

So... today one of my beautiful friends (I have so many beautiful friends that I am SO grateful for) gave me a call. She told me that she showed my book to one of her friends and that she loved the way I signed it. "Have fun creating your life on purpose" and it hit me... am I creating my life on purpose? As I sit and ponder and analyze... am I creating on purpose or am I creating by default?

I have decided that I will create my life on purpose and release any fear that might be holding me back, release any guilt from past mistakes and release anything in my present that isn't in alignment with what I am trying to create.

At Logan's basketball practice a few weeks ago I ran into a Mom that has terminal cancer. She hasn't told her kids because she wants her last months with her kids to be of great memories, not of her dying. She is creating her life on purpose, focusing on what she wants instead of what she doesn't. I want to follow her lead. I am grateful to know her story.

Here is to to focusing on what you want instead of what you don't and to creating your life on purpose!
