There Is Magic In Every Day!

The year is coming to an end and I am taking the time to bring closure to projects, reflect, pause and give thanks for all that has occurred and all that is occurring. It is a time of abundance as we create, expand and receive the blessings that are constantly available and pouring forth with this new year!

As Christmas and holidays quickly approach, I am in deep gratitude for the friendships that I have established as well as the individual empowerment and community efforts to which so many are committed across the globe. As we plant our seeds and trust, we often know that things are underway even when we do not see immediate results or a complete plan.

I have been working on a few writing projects this year. One of them is the book, There's Magic In Every Day which was co-written by Chase Steele Greye and me. This book honors the beauty of our power as creative manifestors on this planet and the willingness to go for a dream. I cannot tell you how much it has meant to me to be able to work on a project like this with someone as creative, visionary and risk-taking as Chase.

The book is available and for sale online and I hope you will pick up a copy and share it with your friends and family. Completing this book has only given me more fuel that I will inject into other areas of my artistic life. I intend to use some of the proceeds to assist in the work that I intend to do in Africa with refugees communities.

What are you working on? What are you creating? Well, I am here with you, giving thanks for the vision that you are receiving, even before you may see it materialize.

What I have heard many say, really is true: anything is possible!

Best wishes to you always and Happy New Year.

Now Offering Creativity Coaching by Appointment in North Park

I am currently offering Creativity Coaching and Mini-Energetic Empowerment sessions using the Yuen Method (non-physical energy work) to assist in creative endeavors, life transitions (such as relationships and career); manifesting goals; move through fears and mental obstacles while holding space with you as you create the life of your design. I will also show people easy ways to become more peaceful using meditative techniques. Please email me at suitebrigitte@gmail.com or give me a call at 619.852.5773 to schedule an appointment.

One of the key components to making various transitions in my life was having someone who could hold the space of my vision and/or help me to have a vision when I felt as though I needed to gain clarity and focus. I often went to bookstores at lunch time or after work seeking inspiration and greater understanding. I do believe we always find what we seek. It is my goal to be there especially during these times for people, regardless of the situation.

A Life of Your Design

Most of us feel we must be mentally fortified in advance of experience. This is one of the reasons why we are buffers rather than experiencers.

~ Jean Toomer

I feel that an extraordinary existence begins with our ability to live our lives to the fullest, to dream and experience the totality of the actions that we take. Taking risks and being available to the opportunities that are created by making BOLD moves will certainly teach us a few things about ourselves, our inner strength, our faith and where we are heading.

Is it worth it?

Yes, it most certainly is.  If you cannot stand your job and want to do something different, what is holding you back? Most of the responses I hear range from family responsibilities, paying bills, lack of education or experience and not knowing what to do next. I have found that it really helps to reserve small amounts of time each day to think about your heart's desire; to meditate, plan, and focus on what you really want. Some of the time you spend exploring can be through using your hobbies to assist in your quest for the areas of your life in which you find the most passion. It may take reading a book like The Artist's Way by Julia Cameron, or Succulent Wild Woman by Sark, to stimulate creativity and give you a strong boost in the realm of inspiration.

Our society and its institutions could really benefit from more creativity: that is, more playful moments, more laughter and art, more dance, more music and more beauty (more of the activities that are currently being removed from our public school system). Who has the time for all of that? We have to create the time for it or we will never have it. These creative and expressive acts promote and encourage us to dream, to feel our connectedness and to express ourselves more authentically.

What is it that you would like to create for your life? Believe it is possible. Who is doing what you would like to do? Go talk to them. Whatever it is -- perhaps a current hobby that you already love -- which will become your next business venture or career.

Which step will you take?

Go For It.

"When the deepest part of you becomes engaged in what you are doing, when your activities and actions become gratifying and purposeful, when what you do serves both yourself and others, when you do not tire within but seek the sweet satisfaction of your life and your work, you are doing what you were meant to be doing.  The personality that is engaged in the work of its soul is buoyant.  It is not burdened with negativity.  It does not fear.  It experiences purposefulness and meaning.  It delights in its work and in others.  It is fulfilled and fulfilling."

-Gary Zukav, The Seat of the Soul
