<h3>Things to Celebrate Today:</h3>
<ol>
<li><span style="line-height: 14px;">Completed my rewrite of the Black Sheep Fable! This is a big deal because it took a lot of time to create the images but I&#8217;m so pleased with the way it turned out. This is going to be the experience <span class="GRcorrect">for</span> my home page.</span></li>
<li>Doing this also means most of the copy for my home page is now written!</li>
<li>Matt created one of the images and did a great job. It feels really satisfying to collaborate with my son.</li>
<li>Waking up early and having the energy to get up and get going.</li>
<li>My skinny jeans fit and feel comfortable!</li>
<li>It&#8217;s not super cold out today.</li>
<li>I&#8217;m looking forward to my meeting with Kristen <span class="GRcorrect">Luce</span> today.</li>
<li>That I&#8217;m not jumping in with both feet into the business model of coaching. Maybe there is a different way to make money rather than coaching tons of people.</li>
<li>I&#8217;m looking for projects that feel light and move quickly.</li>
<li>I&#8217;m living in the question.</li>

<p><a href="http://sufiuniversity.org/spirituality-at-work" target="_blank">By Paul Hamid Werder, Faculty at the University of Spiritual Healing and Sufism</a></p>
<p>Work can be a place to express our creativity and passion for service. Or it can become an experience of frustrating, anxiety-provoking stress.</p>
<p><b>Are you experiencing JOY at work?</b></p>
<p>If so, you are likely expressing your unique talents in a way that is meaningful and nourishing to yourself and others. In a phrase &#8211; you are working &#8220;from your heart.&#8221;</p>
<p>If this joyful scenario seems like an impossible fantasy, you have lots of company! Business-as-usual is rife with compromised values, a focus on coping skills, and the necessity of playing politics and watching your back. Good people can easily lose heart at work and begin to accept their predicament as normal or inevitable. And if we are unaware of a better alternative, our stress and heartache becomes toxic.</p>
<p>I did not learn about this in a textbook. I burned myself out at age 27, thinking it was the organization that was unhealthy.</p>
<p><b>But truthfully, I needed to heal my relationship with myself.</b></p>
<p>Until then I could not make my complete contribution in a healthy manner. I needed to let go of my judgmental nature and tendency to write others out of the script. I had to learn that my feelings of inadequacy were coming out in behaviors that occurred to others as arrogance. Yuk!</p>
<p>It took me years to learn these lessons, but my deepest healing occurred very quickly when I realized that God comes running to us when we just take the first few steps. The practice of remembrance has been my lifesaver. It was truly a revelation to discover that our hearts are full of the divine qualities waiting to be reawakened and that God&#8217;s love is always available. <b>Is it time to reawaken your heart at work???</b></p>

<h3>Lots of good stuff to celebrate today!</h3>
<ol>
<li><span style="line-height: 14px;">Inky is sitting in my lap purring. On a cold day it&#8217;s nice to have a warm cat in my lap.</span></li>
<li>Just about complete with my &#8220;Secret Rebel&#8221; tale and it&#8217;s just about ready to go up on my blog! This is a big first step for launching the new website and I&#8217;m really excited!</li>
<li>I really love the images I created for the &#8220;secret rebel&#8221; tale. Some look fantastic.</li>
<li>Had a wonderfully insightful, productive session with Kristin Luce yesterday. Uncovered some areas of resistance that have been holding me back.</li>
<li>Have some specific assignments I&#8217;m doing to loosen up those obstacles.</li>
<li>One of my biggest obstacles is how harshly I judge myself</li>
<li>Realized that one of the reasons I dread getting up in the morning is I have such strict boundries for what I judge as &#8220;acceptable&#8221; the entire day is one long tightwire act.</li>
<li>I&#8217;m willing to act less acceptably.</li>
<li>Had a good check in session with one of my clients</li>
<li>Decided I&#8217;m increasing my fees and I don&#8217;t feel any anxiety about this. I may lose a client or two but I&#8217;m at peace with this consequence.</li>
