Dear Savvy Woman,

My mom use to take me skiing a lot.  For skiing, I was allowed to cut a day of high school to beat crowds, which made it all the more fun.

I use to hear this comment from her on our ski trips,  ”If you’re not falling down, it means you’re not really trying”. 

Think about the FEAR that comes up (if you allow yourself to recognize it) as you think about going for something BIG.  Or maybe doing something completely NEW to you.  FEAR can bubble up, sometimes very easily.  This is what can stop us dead in our tracks, if we let it. We’re afraid to fall down.

The older we get, the more fearful we can become as we get more and more conditioned to own perceptions & the perceptions of others and the world.  I  mean, there’s SO much to be afraid of, right?  Just listen to random passing conversation (as I am right now in a coffee shop as I write) - or what you hear from a friend or someone who loves you - or what you read on news sites or see on TV. What we find ourselves saying to others. 

This plays out often when it comes to attracting love,  too, my savvy friend.  We’re often sitting back in ‘fear’ or concern:

Am I going to meet him?

Is this guy the right partner for me?

Why doesn’t it seem to be going the way I dream of it going?

Often, we don’t try a new approach - or create a different and winning Mindset to support our desires - because we’ve got this subconscious fear, of either success or of failure.

A clue that you’re on to something - that you’re giving the mountain and slopes the best of you - is when you feel the Fear coming up, and you continue to take a step forward anyway. And then another. And another. 

It’s not a matter of having NO FEAR, or preserving yourself out of FEAR, it’s a matter of feeling the Fear, and moving forward toward your desires anyway.

Dear Savvy Friend,

It’s Election Day…

I don’t ‘do politics’ nor formalized religion, in terms of engaging in public (or much personal) debate and attempting to persuade or squash other opinion.    This doesn’t mean that I’m not active nor have an opinion or personal point of view!  I just don’t find the process of such debate that joyous , electrifying or  satisfying for me, personally.

I’m happy to have just completed my vote and it feels good to be doing my part.  Without going into this any deeper, all I will say is THANK G*D WE WILL BE SEEING SOME CHANGE as a country, and globally.

Speaking of change, I want to share something with you that I came across last night reviewing one of my notebooks.  I recently heard David Neagle speak at the retreat I attended given by Fabienne Fredrickson on “Inner Game of Abundance”.   I’m on David’s list so I receive his messages through his Ezine and audio’s,  and I find him , as many do,  so incredibly clear as a communicator of the Universal  laws and principles that have existed for thousands and thousands of years.  He makes things SO clear, SO simple.  But you can’t be fooled by the simplicity.  Mastering these teachings takes tremendous focus, willpower and study, to say the least. I hope to continue to improve the application of these in my life…

So, I’m reviewing my notes from David’s presentation at the retreat,  and I came across this statement & quote that is SO the Truth.  So the Truth!

“The minute you let go of the thing you’re not willing to let go of, the Universe responds IMMEDIATELY.”

I’ll share with you a few  of my own examples of this Truth:

-          As soon as I let go of a FEAR of ‘needing’ a (toxic)  corporate job to keep me afloat in life – and literally jumped out of a plane that weekend to symbolize it – I am let go (a company off) the following day.  (And I needed the Universal ‘push’.  Both of them!)

-          As soon as I let go of sabotaging behavior & certain patterns with men and begin to listen to my Higher Self, I meet my now husband , Larry (within weeks).

-          As soon as I let go of the fear of ‘what other people think of me’(a work in progress, but I’m much less white-knuckled about it now) , and let my voice be heard and my Higher Self gets greater visibility, I receive signs – opportunities – acknowledgement (the kind that keeps me inspired to continue stepping out as my Higher Self, not the kind that feeds my need , based on the fear, to continue to play small).

Here is to changes of the highest order!

From my savvy heart, to yours ~
