100 days and 100 change makers

My inspiring and awesome friend Natalie Sisson is on a journey. Well, okay, she’s on a journey but it’s more like she’s on a journey to help other people on their journey. This is what being a change maker is all about.

If you don’t know about Natalie here is your chance to dive into her unbelievable fun world as a suitcase entrepreneur. That’s right she travels this world of ours and does her business where ever she is. Fancy free with lots of important work on her hands.

Recently I met up with Natalie in Portland, OR at the World Domination Summit Conference. With 1000 people at the conference it’s hard to spend any real amount of time with any one person especially if you are beautiful, social butterfly and a well liked change maker like Natalie. We did our quick catch up and then she was off but we’ve been using Facebook to keep in touch on what each other is doing.

At the end of this awesome conference in Portland Chris Guillebeau gave 1000 people $100 USD to do something amazing with. How kind and generous right?! Unbelievable really. The $100 USD was to be used for something that would support our development in business or personally or someone else’s. I’ve never treated 100 bones so carefully before. I’m still hanging on to mine because there is something in October I am going to do with it (I’ll blog about it then) but Natalie, well, she came up with an awesome idea. Check it out

$100 Change initiative

The best part of this is that I will be sharing some nuggets of success that I’ve had learned over the last few years with Natalie and she is going to share them with the 100 change makers who are participating. I felt pretty honoured to be asked to be a part of this and I’m excited to share what I’ve learned along the way. There are very few places in the world where you pay $100 and get an abundance of inspiration and knowledge and then have the opportunity to get it back at the end. It’s a no brainer really!

So take a moment, check out Natalie’s amazing opportunity and get your change maker on!

Putting some Karma in IT

Last night a friend of mine and I went out food and inspiring conversation. We shared our passions, stories, and excitement about IT.

What I love the most about his energy is his ability to share from a real authentic place and talk about the inner knowing of his course in life. He shared that he wasn’t quite what sure it all meant but he knew he was on the right path. He told me that be believed he was connected to IT because although things were not 100% the way he wanted he knew that the course he was on would take him there.

I asked him how he knew. I told him so many people I work with and people I know in my life own, had no idea.

He replied without hesitation, “Karma! What I put into the world is about service, connecting others, and living large from that place. It excites me knowing that my energy comes from others and I can pass that on.”

Then he re-introduced me to a way of being around money and wellness.

“When I use to consult, I would say ‘Here are my fees but I would like you pay what you think it’s worth or what you can afford right now. You will get the same service someone who is paying full rate will receive. All I ask is that you take that same energy and offer it to others’.”

A smile lit up my smile right away. Why?! Not only was that brilliant but it reminded me of everyone who had supported me along the way when I couldn’t afford their full fees. I can list dozens of them.

SO… For July and August, I am declaring a Karma Summer months!

My rate is $400- 4 sessions once a week for 45 minutes (3 month agreement)

Namaste- “I bow to you” “Thank you” but my favourite definition (enhanced) “The God/Goddess Spirit within me recognizes and honors the God/Goddess Spirit within you.”

Aligning with IT

This morning I had an Skype call set up with some amazing actresses who are going to be helping me spread the word about Passion. I got up at 730a take Lucy (my dog) for a walk, shower, make my coffee, etc and am mentally preparing for some brainstorming and collaborating. 9am rolls around, it’s call time and no one is there. Hmmm… Then Aliyah signs in. Aliyah checks in on the others and nothing. Feeling a tad disappointed (I was excited) a little thought popped into my head, “Maybe the Universe has a different plan?” Sure enough it did. Aliyah and I had a great little chat while waiting to see if the others would pop on.

I asked Aliyah about her work as an actress and told her I found the preparation for “roles” fascinating. The research, the training, etc. She started to explain to me about one role she is working on right now that requires her to do military training. She talked about the intensity of it. “All that for a few weeks of work huh?” Interesting. When you want to carry IT out into the world and really be “there” you need to put in the time, energy, and resources to make IT happen.

Since the conversation was floating around the topic of IT, I started to get really curious with Aliyah and thinking this conversation was suppose to happen. One thing that really struck me was when she started talking about another role she is doing that just requires her to be with herself, “super present and connected”. It requires her to “let go and be there, not thinking about the scene just being in the scene”. Ok… Universe (I’m thinking) really?

When you align with IT, to your purpose and passion, when you’ve done the whole time, energy, and resources thing you come to a place where you take everything you’ve learnt along the way and just be with IT.

 

How do you know you’ve aligned with IT?

 

There is a trust that happens with the Universe
Unexpected gems show up to support IT and
You connect with people who are living IT themselves.

 

If I were you I’d get with IT cause it’s sooo much fun!

 

 

Here is my note from the Universe this morning:

Take it from the farmer in me, Loretta …

The more seeds you sow, the more plants we’ll grow.

I love wearing overalls,
The Universe
