So many times I have had days that would have been wonderful blogs. As I have mentioned before I am still taking leaps through my fear of writing. My days have been filled with intense feelings and experiences  as if I had been slammed to the ground and then others thrown so high I am filled with joy and amazement. I have been looking at ALL aspects of myself in my work, my home, my relationships and my children. Big WHEW! Feeling a bit naked and uncomfortable. As I take a deep breath I know that this is a good place to be. Never thought I would think that being uncomfortable would be a good place. When I really look at years past to present I have carried patterns that no longer serve me. I have a glimpse where they rooted, how they have hurt others and held me back.  So many people come in and out of my life yet there are a handful that have REALLY been there to support my growth. Looking at the strength it took for them to give those gentle reminders that I’m “not getting it!” Well, I have a glimpse now and taking action. What is that master key to unlock, let go and know. What is my destiny? I created boundaries that I can now see. I want to let them go into the wind and allow my life to soar.

On one of the most difficult days a friend called about having a chapter in a book out next year on Gratitude. Well, just minutes before I was so upset about life’s bumps. Gratitude? Half laughing and amazed. My first word I ever created in glass was Gratitude. That was about 2 1/2 years ago. In last three weeks I have had 4 request from people feeling they “need” gratitude. Hmmmm think I “needed” it again too? Only took about four knocks till I listened. How many for you? This world is not what it seems……. like the wind that carries the seeds we share from heart to heart a silent awakening. I think I’m listening and then realize that I can’t always hear with all the clutter within my mind.

This week in my glass and wood creations I stepped “into” the journey of what it means to fear-less. The next step was “into” deserving. So many aspects to deserving. Once I took the step I was amazed when I quoted a wholesale price for an item of $19.50 and they called back the next day asking if the price was really $19.50? They want to pay $40.00 Now, how is that for a “BIG KNOCK TO allow DESERVING” into my life.

Ok, I am going to get back to creating. Thank you for taking time to read this.

I want all of you to know that this is a big leap for me to write. Especially when anyone can read this. I have a fear of writing yet have surrounded myself with authors.  I guess I am stepping into my fear and
writing now.

There are so many things going on in the world. Many high moments and low moments. I feel like I have been on a roller coaster most days. How about you? I love to “step into” the smallest emotions of Gratitude and the WOW of the amazing Aha moments of BIG gratitude. There are times that I get nervous about what was or what might be in the future. So, when I start to get flustered I remind myself to be in the NOW as I take a very deep breath into my lower belly three times. The best I can be is right here right now!

In the NOW I am very grateful for www.ceospace.net and what I learned at their event in L.A. last week. I now have team for my business! I am passionate about many things so being at CEO space
supported me to take a deeper look at myself and my journey. I met a lot of amazing people that support success. Wonderful new projects launching from the heart and ready to fully step into mine. Lisa Nichols saw my work and asked her C.O.O. to set up a meeting about possibly creating products for her. Also, www.teresa.com wants to create a line of jewelry for girls. I love the flow! Will keep you posted as things unfold.

As you know my journey is about Give and Receive and have now made over 3,000 of these gifts. I received my MOST profound “knock” on my heart about receiving while in L.A. I was blocking receiving in a big way! I gave away my newest cedar ornament and the next day that person handed me a check. I blocked by saying that  I could not accept money for a gift that I had given. Then he held the space for me to receive. I took a deep breath as I tried to allow receiving and it felt uncomfortable. Hmmmmm I am grateful for what has been presented to me. Learning this message that I have been burning over and over. Taking action to move in and out of GIVE and RECEIVE is a process of integration for me. Big gratitude for the next lesson about receive! Another person that I had given a gift to ask how much I charge for his style necklace. Later he
came back to see me with money for the one I gave him. OK, that was once again a gift!  Even as I write this I feel funny. I am taking another deep breath in so that I can fully receive the money as their gift to me. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Lisa Coltman and Martin Dunkerton
