STORIES FROM THE SANCTUARY!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!  Wow - a New Decade to explore!  I can only imagine what new delights will be dreamt up and created in the next ten years of my life!  This year is starting off with a real sense of possibility for me - I know if I keep my attention focused on that, it will only multiply and expand, in ways I can only imagine.

So why have I made the word Imagine bold in that last paragraph?  Because that's where I want to help you focus right now.  At the start of a new year we hear so much about Goals and Resolutions and getting into action.  Which is great - AND there's such an important step that needs to come before that. 

One of the greatest gifts we have as humans is our imagination and the ability of consciousness to see and feel things that aren't here yet.  Think about that - there is so much in our history that we have to be grateful for because of the imagination of others.  When I start thinking about it, my head begins to swirl - it's an enormous place to go... airplanes, shoes, printing presses, velvet, the keyboard I'm typing on, pianos...and on & on!

Taking that to my own life, I can reflect on where I've used my imagination to evoke a new reality.  I have to say I have a pretty big history myself with this and have often been told how people marvel at what I have birthed into the world.  Well, you absolutely can too! 

Here's how

Be in touch as I'd love to hear what your imagination is dreaming up this year.

With love,

 Victoria

Did you know that journal coaching is one of the fastest ways to facilitate change?  When we write, our limiting beliefs and assumptions can be seen clearly.  Once they are made visible by an objectively trained coach, there is an opportunity for growth to occur. Is this the year to leave behind those ideas that keep you living a life that's less than what you deserve?

 When I read this quote, I had to include it this month.  Now here's a woman that understands and shares my values and vision!

 "The moment a woman comes home to herself, the moment she knows that she has become a person of influence, an artist of her life, a sculptor of her universe, a person with rights and responsibilities who is respected and recognized, the resurrection of the world begins."
