Sit up straight.
Roll your shoulders back, chest out, chin up.
Take a slow deep breath....
Take a slow deep breath....
Feel that?
Feel the calm, control, your strength.
Smile.

You are able. Whatever it is that you want, you are able.
A past client/friend of mine recently made a life altering change in her professional life and left the job she had known for many years. It took allot of courage but she knew it was the right decision and I am very proud of her for taking the risk. As in my life quote from my first blog post "If something doesn't feel right, rise up and face it, because we are not guaranteed tomorrow". We are not guaranteed tomorrow.
Once you finally commit to making a life changing decision like this you feel a sense of clam. It's the build up that gets you, the anxiety; am I going to do it or am I going to walk away like I have in the past? After the hoops you have to jump through and the fall out you have to deal with, whatever it may be, you realize it is okay. You survived.
She said in her own blog that she was surprised after she made this huge decision which people from her life offered their support and love. Many people came out of the woodwork that she didn't expect and others who she thought may be there were no longer around....
I can relate with her, as I have begun this new journey or phase of my life I am excited to have the people in my life that I am blessed to have. Like-minded people, who are full of support, love, passion, and going in the same direction in their lives.
People change. It is growth. Let it be and encourage it.
Do not be afraid of changing. Picture who you want to be and begin (today) the process towards this image. Do it for you and only you (not because it may be something others might like). Through this you will find the ones that love you and support you for who you are proud to be everyday. Others who are like-minded and want to be apart of what you are doing will gravitate towards you. You are worth all that you possibly want. You are able. Take the risk. Do good.

I think it is you that has inspired me! You remind me that sometimes the kind people really do win. You are a remarkable lady Sara and a real gift to all of us. Thank you for that.
