When Celebrating turns to Cele-dreading--- it's Time to SNAP!

,

This month I am aware of the 'cele-dread' mindset that creeps up on me.  It's October.  Two years ago this month, Mom received her diagnosis of advanced stages of cancer in her body. Seven weeks later she was home with her Lord - and my Dad!  I don't plan to be impacted by grief, but sometimes it creeps up on me and leaks out through my eyes rather intensely.  During 2023, my whole being rather fell apart.  My body, heart, mind, and spirit needed space and time to 'recalibrate' everything I had experienced in 2022.  There were some pretty dark days and I could not 'manage' all of it at once.  Here I am two years later still feeling the effects of all the ups and downs. 

But one thing I can do - I S.N.A.P!   This simple 4-step process became a prayer of sorts, even on the hardest of days.

When Change means Beginning Again

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.

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.

Who Am I to...?

, ,

…The thought occurred to me.  I am hosting a webinar (Thursday night 8:00pm)t about how to deal with days just like this. Days that are hard and everything seems harder and you are gritting your teeth just to get through it.

And here I am having one of those days.

Who am I to try to help people who are having those days when I have those days?…

My Gift to you, GHC world!

,

Eight years ago today… 
I posted my first blog introducing you to Green Hope Coaching with Kathy Burrus.  Officially GHC opened it's doors on 1/11/11.  But I didn't tell my virtual world until 1/22/11.  I like to celebrate this whole month the GHC anniversary- or a birthday- or whatever you call it when your business baby turns 8 years old.  

I'm celebrating by offering you a free gift to support you in the middle of this winter season. Sometimes the challenges we feel during the dark winter days can become pretty intense. While the journey through hard stuff can feel lonely- we don't have to be alone. Join me from the comfort of your own home,

Thursday, January 24th at 8:00pm
for a F.R.E.E. LIVE
WINTER WEBINAR.

Details in the video, or you can register here.
Save your spot- space is limited.

The WINTER WEBINAR is part of my GREEN HOPE GATHERING series that I plan to do each month of 2019 discussing various topics.  This month we will be talking about how to manage the dark, sometimes dreariness of winter that leaves us feeling more isolated and alone.  (Though as I am writing this, it is a beautifully crisp, sunny day after a big snow. The sunshine is good for the soul. ) 

But how do we handle the 'stuff' that we experience during this season when the days are beginning to get longer,  and the sun does shine, but not quite?  

Join me as we celebrate - and support one another during these winter months. Click here to find out more.
