Fear of Heights=Fear of Change

As I was talking with my Wed eve workshop, what became a consistent theme that evening was how so many of the women were on new frontiers of change, but could not give themselves credit for their journey and transformation so far...

As I drove home I started to think about how similar the fears feel when someone who is afraid of heights echos the person on the boarder of old and familiar facing yet another shift in their self-awakening. Those consistent little pushes and tugs that we feel as we try to navigate yet another challenge.

As we teeter-totter on that ledge,staring down from a great distance,it gives one a dizzy feeling, much like the person feels as they try to move from the old to the new, from the familiar to the foreign, from darkness to light.

When we give ourselves the kudos for a job well done, we are reminding ourselves of how far we have come by doing the work ourselves...WE did the work. WE are capable, smart, and good hearted. Who ever made us feel than perfect, not deserving of respect, love, and security needs to step aside; this is our time in the sun, this is our chance to break out of the self imposed prison we have resided in all of our lives.

The journey of revealing to ourselves who we really are, often feels like either walking over broken glass..or trying to traverse a slippery slope. And the comedy of it all, is to stand at that ledge, look back and see how far you have climbed...and celebrate that daily.

You are the best version of YOU that the universe has created...congratulations ! I've never seen a better version of you than what is in front of me right now...!!
