…Wow, I sure have changed a lot. Through Reiki trainings, reading books, taking workshops, meditation, and the Flowing with Change community… I sure have grown over this past year. I am feeling more confident, patient, joyful, and peaceful than ever before. That and I am viewing each experience as a wonderful teaching tool! How amazing…

…But let me back up a bit and share with you my experience from yesterday and what happened last night that led me to these conclusions. Just to offer a frame of reference, last night was the first class of my six week workshop: Create Support for Self…

…I was uber (even a word?) excited about this as this was the first time that people signed up for a group program that I was the host of! How fabulous. So I went downstairs nice and early all excited and ready to host the class. Well, no one showed up. Hmm.. what is happening here? How come no one is on the call with me? Should I freak out?…

…And here is where I know with uttermost confidence that I am different than I was a year ago- I did NOT freak out. In fact, I realized that due to the power outages in Maryland, maybe the people were not able to get to the course. Maybe they could not get online. Maybe they had no power! Right!? Of course!…

…And even a larger change for me… I did not take anything personally. I did not criticize myself and start to second guess my workshop. I did not take any of the responsibility at all for what was happening. I just observed it… and LEARNED from it!…

…So guess what I did. Instead, of getting upset or frustrated or sad (old me from a year ago)- I decided… “You know what, I am going to do this workshop tonight anyway… even with no one on the line!” I viewed this time that I had already set aside to host the call as a great learning opportunity…

…I could practice the material, get comfortable with the lesson, and notice while I was sharing the workshop to the universal energy out there if I needed to shift anything. I viewed this hour not as a waste of time or as a failure, but as time that I could spend practicing, improving, and enhancing the course material. I spent this time making this first class even better so that when we start next week we start with a “BANG!”…

…As I was lying down to go to bed, I turned to look at Drew and said… “And you know what else! This gives me a whole extra week to share and promote this beautiful course that I have created!! I can get one more person to sign up in this week!” Wow… even more of a learning experience for me…

…Today I sat down with my calendar and was looking at the rest of the week and how I had mapped out my time. I saw on the calendar ‘Create Week 2 Slides’. Now I am grateful I do not have to rush through that this week and can enjoy the time I spend with my sister down in VA this weekend! Another blessing from starting the course a week later…

…So instead of viewing experiences that happen to us as “failures”, “let-downs”, “burdens”, etc… instead of allowing that inner critic to say things like “No one is going to show up anyway… you are going to have to refund the money… people don’t really want to do your course… it was a fluke anyone signed up in the first place…” (all words that might have come to me last year at this time) I can be proud to say I do not feel those things in any way, shape, or form!…

…I know there are reasons for what happened. I know that I learned a lot last night and today. I know that the people who signed up want to be in this course, but just could not make it last night. And I know that when we start next week this course is going to be simply amazing!…

…So thank you to all of my guides, gurus, mentors, teachers, and coaches out there. Thank you to Flowing with Change for all of your support. Thank you to my friends, family, and online networks. Thank you to all for teaching and supporting me. Thank you to me for growing, changing, and healing! Thank you to self for evolving and shifting and embracing me!…

How about you? What changes have you noticed? How are you growing into your greater self? What is shifting inside of you?
