When I talk with some of you…..I am amazed at the courage and strength many of you have in the face of “real-world” challenges and changes…..divorce, financial set backs, work that sucks the soul right out of you.
Times certainly are challenging, but really, no more challenging than other times, except that now it’s US experiencing some pretty intense social and economic changes. 
If I could give each of you a medal, I would. Really, some of you are really going through the “tough stuff” right now.
I want to tell you that you are not alone, and that there is a reason for everything you are experiencing, and further what it might mean that things in your life seem to be falling apart. Many times, they are ‘falling apart’ so they can come back together much more aligned and fulfilling for the True You.
I speak from experience, I’ve been through some challenging times…..such as growing up feeling unsupported emotionally and “feeling weird,” divorce, financial set backs, foreclosure, and three serious car accidents where the car was totaled, and yet I suffered minor injuries. Each of these things shook me to my core and caused me to awaken to more of my Purpose in life. I knew I had a choice to make and so I chose to work with some of the brightest lights on the planet, and I am so grateful to all the coaches, mentors, healers, who helped me to access more of my truth and potential. Each of them had a key that unlocked an important part of the real me.
In my book The Destiny Discovery: Find Your Soul’s Path to Success, I discuss the concept of the dark nights of the soul, and that I actually see them as rather dark nights of the EGO. They are sort of a rite of passage for those of us brave enough who choose to go on a Soul’s Journey–they are to be expected. You will get through them. The question is whether you make it easy on yourself. As you look ahead to 2013, I am going to invite you to make a commitment to yourself to get the help and support you need to make that career change you have been wanting to make, let go of the path you have outgrown, and start believing in yourself a whole lot more by working with a mentor. Did you know that the original meaning of the word mentor goes back to ancient Greece and means ‘highest advisor’? This is because throughout history, it is known by those who succeed in life, that the best way to get headed in the right direction, is to follow the footsteps of someone who has already ‘been there and done that.’ Right now, you can begin the journey to authentic success and purposeful living, by starting with a Destiny Activation Session.
