Falling in Love, AGAIN!

Wow - What hasn't changed in my life?!

Last January, In Malaga, Spain, with the fantastic group of Team Europe, during the day training, one of the leaders (Suzanne Curwin) was speaking about goal setting. As she asked for a few shares, I felt myself squirm. I really didn't feel like sharing. In fact I believe I was the LAST person in that room of hundreds, that wanted to share. (For those that know me, this is pretty A-typical... I usually LOVE to share!)

Sure enough, she looked right at me and said... Lisa, would you like to share?
The microphone was right there handy, as the audio guy was putting it directly into my hand.
How was I getting out of this one??

Suzanne, with clear intention, felt my apprehension and asked the question...
What is your biggest goal/ priority for the new year?

Silence.....

you know this silence. The silence where you KNOW you have to say something, and you are not sure at all what sounds will come from your throat, as you have no idea of what the words will be.

I had not realized how BIG this question was for me. I had set goals for 8 years now...and taught hundreds/ maybe even thousands about goals... I was supposed to be a pro at this goal setting thing...

Thru a bit of emotion, I let myself say the words....
To get to know Lisa Molina.

It was like in a movie.. I sat down, wondering, What had I just said?? realizing, this was EXACTLY what i was feeling!
HA! Imagine that... saying Exactly what you feel, without plan, without preparation, without a performance stage..

You see, at the time, I was not really liking that person, called Lisa Molina. I had taken a few hits, I had made some less than bright choices, and been hammering myself for oh so many reasons. I guess you could say, it was a pity party. I felt like the world was happening around me, and for a time, although brief, I felt I had lost my foothold.
Can anyone relate?!! ;-)

SO, now, I was left with Doing exactly what I set out to do! Getting to know me........

MY O MY....

I can tell you this... It feels wonderful, to stop long enough, to look around, and see that things are exactly as they are supposed to be, and recognizing there is no growth in self pity. There is no growth in pointing out ones mistakes.
There is however, Everlasting growth and potential when one chooses to be at CAUSE and take the responsibility of creating a different result!

and the person that is closest to you, that person that you speak to ALL DAY LONG, without one break,
that person that will forever be connected thru good and bad, and no matter what you do to the MIRROR...you still shine back. Falling in love again with that person in the mirror...
is the BEST thing that can occur... and sure does make the days Full of FUN!

We are loving LA. (Did I mention, we moved here end of 2008?)
A small town girl I am, in this big o city... ALL of this chaos from this big city has for sure caused a clearing for total order and clarity of priorities. Hmmmmm - exactly what I had been ready for.

Stay tuned... there is so much more to Come!!
