This has been a rebirth time for me in a lot of ways for me personally:
as a woman
as a wife
a mom
and a grandmother
as a coach
as a human
and every other role I can think of.
This has been a place of beginning again - AGAIN!
When you look at the metamorphosis of a butterfly,
they grow from being a little egg
to becoming the caterpillar
to becoming the little “J” hanging from a leaf
and spinning into the Chrysalis
then emerging from the Chrysalis
to become the butterfly she was always meant to be.
That's a process that many of us have taken an interest in and have observed with great curiosity. I wrote about that in my last blog post. (the-metamorphosis-of-a-green-hope-woman)
We recognize a pattern that translates into our own journey. While the butterfly only experiences that transformation once (it is their whole existence ), we can experience that multiple times in our lifetime.
Think about that moment for us as humans.
We go through the cycle - being born into a new way of life, a new challenge, a way of doing something. Because it is new - or at least different - we must grow, stretch, and change, much like that little caterpillar.
Then we find ourselves experiencing a ‘hard place’. The world caves in on us, or we feel trapped in a situation or relationship, or testing comes that confines us in a small space and turns us into a pile of ‘goo’!
But then there’s that moment when we begin to break out of that ‘chrysalis’ - changed. Our wings spread out wide - weak at first, then strong.
We KNOW that we are the right person, at the right place, at the right time, with the right stuff. It feels good. It feels right. We begin to feel confident.
Only to discover that somehow we've been reborn again into another new place. And new places are sometimes not easy because once again we have to learn new things and do things differently.
That process happens again - and again!
What do you do when CHANGE means a ‘place of beginning again’ AGAIN?
Listen in as we talk about that.
