LEANING IN

The announcements I'm going to make today are nothing that I imagined. But leaning into the root, the truth is the only way. This week the recurring theme is trying to force ourselves to be what we think we should be. We can't. At the root, the core, the foundation, is WHAT IS. When we try to go around WHAT IS, we might get away with it for a little while. But the foundation/the authentic truth/ will eventually show itself. Why not deal with WHAT IS the truth NOW? Because we are afraid, afraid that what we fear is already true. It is not already true. It is not true at all. But we have no way of knowing that unless we lean into the fear, lean into the pain, lean into WHAT IS our authentic core. Only from this scary place can we receive something more than the temporary fix of surface things. There is no way around it. As scary and painful as it may seem, everytime we lean in authentically to WHAT IS at the root, we find release from pain and fear and faith in ourselves waiting on the other side.

My last weekly "Emotional Money" blog will be next Monday, March 30th. I will do it monthly and in between continue to announce the activities for Samarra Am Management and other businesses and/or opportunities. The Emotional Money Woman's Retreat scheduled for May 1-3 is postponed. When the retreat was planned we had no idea that I would be living here. Resources have been of course needed and used towards my move. And my increased schedule of becoming Business Manager for Big Tent Cultural Center and doing 4 Weight Watchers meetings in addition to my roster of clients won't allow for the time needed to plan and promote the retreat.

I am moving to take action based on the core work around faith. This work will concentrate on building an active, intentional, ENGAGED community that takes actions to support each other through the scary process of leaning toward release and faith.

I have been blessed with some incredible clients who have been willing to take risks, be authentic and take actions in alignment with their core versus their habits. This is the life-altering work I want to be engaged in. My blog has given me the chance to talk about this work -- a first step. The next, and I feel mandatory step, is actually building the support systems for taking those "scary authentic" actions CONSISTENTLY. That is how we build our faith in ourselves -- through consistent action.

The blog has been...incredible. It has been such a gift to share the thoughts that go on inside my head and have others respond or share their insights and experiences. But it's time for me to take that next step to focus on actions that support a collective "leaning in". I am grateful to each and every one of you.

My business over these three years has grown each year and it has all been from referrals. To thank you, moving forward, I will be giving 10% of the cost of the package purchased, to those that referred someone.


In April I'll send out information on how to sign up for the new list (which I feel will have a different title) for those interested in engaging in the practices discussed and having conversations with myself and other readers regarding our processes and journies which will be officially launched in May. It will include monthly commitments around meditating and being willing to not only explore but to take actions and build your faith in who you are at your core.

I'll see you next week for the final rendition of Emotional Money has it has always been. Here's to the next step!

THANK YOU for sharing this incredible journey!
