UNSTOPPABLE 💃💥✨️

~ My word for 2023 - EVERYTHING I decide to do OR not do, I will ask MYSELF if it will make me UNSTOPPABLE.

~ As I have taken December to reflect on my vision of if I still feel it in my heart, life directed in a new direction.

~ I had a solid and comfortable plan for 2023 however signs of the opposite started showing up days before today.

~ I showed up in someone's meditation who reached out to me. She suggested an opportunity that I have turned down three times.

~ Yesterday I found out I was already enrolled in the opportunity HA! God had to make me see I need what he had given to me. If he hadn't, guaranteed I would have ignored it with incompleteness.

~ 2022 prepared for my the future years ahead, it gave me the foundation I need. I honestly could not have done it without Margarita Romano and her incredible Herd from LeapZone Strategies. Along with Isabelle Mercier Turcotte and Leanne! Grateful beyond words that I stumbled across them four years ago 🙏 ❤️ I highly recommend their genius and skills!

~ The last year and a half I have been watching Melanie Greenough and Shanda Wright very closely. I met Taylor Gordon at an online event and he introduced me to IM Academy. Very grateful he has stood behind me and patient with me.

~ I decided to work more closely with Melanie this year. After yesterday's Transformational Saturday training I cried. You may or may not know that when I cry, I'm exactly where I need to be. Greg and Melanie were on fire as always!

~ Yesterday I had two success sessions booked with her so I assumed. Then I had a strategy session with Shanda to be discuss joining She's Creating an Empire as a coach.

~ I join the first zoom meeting to see Shanda's enthusiastic face! AND to learn that the decision was already purchased HA!

~ 2023 brings me learning to be a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL COACH and changing the lives 🙌

~ I have learnt that inorder to create your dreams, helping others create theirs may be necessary.

~ I am extremely excited for 2024 to see what I have accomplished ☺️ 🤗

~ Today I RAISE A GLASS TO ME, the lost little girl who has conquered more than any child should have to 💗

Did you know women have been told they couldn't be protected by the legal system?

In a news article dated December 8, 2021 Jo-Anne Dusel who has worked in domestic shelters for two decades in Saskatchewan was interviewed. She says:

"Here's me as a shelter worker sitting across from a woman who's terrified and been told there's nothing police can do," she said. "Very often I would hear, 'What? They won't help me until he kills me?'"

The articles states there were at least 37 intimate partner homicides in Sask. from January 2015 to June 2020.

The article also stated that the most dangerous time is when a victim is planning to leave a relationship.

CBC obtained the details for 25 of the 29 female victims killed in Saskatchewan. More than half of them had recently separated from their partner or indicated they wanted to get out.

Unfortunately I know from experience leaving is extremely hard because of the escalating behaviors in these situations.

I remember running through back allies with a friend, scared for our lives.

Only hours before I was at the police station asking for protection while I moved my belongings out of my home.

I was denied!

A huge confrontation with my ex-husband and those involved was experienced. Calling the police was useless at this point I thought.

I had to risk my life by jumping out of a speeding truck down the highway. Calling for help wasn't an option. My ex-boyfriend was furious because I wanted to end our so called relationship.

I had tried numerous times before and his tactics had worked on me. That night was different and I was scared for my life, only wanting away from him.

That is why at The Radiant Safe Haven, you will be protected by trained professionals. The safety of those wanting to leave an abusive relationship is a top priority.

I share with you the news article:

🌟 Forgive yourself. The supreme act of forgiveness is when you can forgive yourself for all the wounds you’ve created in your own life. Forgiveness is an act of self-love. When you forgive yourself, self-acceptance begins and self-love grows.
~ Miguel Ángel Ruiz Macías 🌟

You need to take responsibility for your actions and accept that these actions have hurt you. It is normal to think you are fine however as humans we have a tendency to mask things. For many years I made myself NUMB so I didn't feel the hurt and disappointment from others.

You need to feel remorse and acknowledge the consequences that you have incurred from the event. Inorder to move forward from something you must go through it. There is no half a$$ING this or going around it when you start feeling uncomfortable. At the end of uncomfortable is the comfort you both desire and deserve.

You need to restore yourself from any trauma by apologizing to yourself because you are only human. Think back to before all the crap entered your life; who were you, how did you enjoy spending time, etc. Most importantly let go of the anger, resentment, and retribution you feel towards YOU!

Renew yourself; ask yourself what can I learn from this event. And most importantly allow yourself to grow and develop as a person. Give yourself PERMISSION to continue turning into the person you wanted to become before you were rudely interrupted. Use that traumatic interruption rather than dwelling on it.

Forgiving yourself for being naive allows your attitude to become more positive which increases both your mental and emotional well-being. Do not dwell on where you are now and what created you to stay at this place. Strengthen both your emotional and mental muscles by creating a positive environment.

Forgiving yourself for being naive allows you to increase your levels of success, production, focus, and concentration because you can now concentrate on what matters the most to you. YOU are the most important thing in your life! Concentrate on feeding both your body and soul healthy boundaries.

Forgiving yourself allows you to begin attracting more loving, trusting, and committed relationships with others. You become what you surround yourself with eventually thriving in that environment. Once you forgive yourself, you will no longer tolerate your current environment.

🌸 Everyone needs to be valued. Everyone has the potential to give something back.
~ Princess Diana 🌸

The very first coach I had said to us, "Who do you want to become?".

I thought about her question and came up with..."F$$K IF I KNOW!". Sooooo I dug a bit deeper.

One of the three women that inspired me was Princess Diana. Her VULNERABILITY realky spoke to me. Being vulnerable was something I needed to adapt into my life.

"I don't go by a rule book; I lead from the heart, not the head."

Leading with my heart has gotten me into much trouble and suffering in my life. However that is life, we must endure the bad in order to receive the good.

If I had led with my head, I wouldn't be on the journey I am presently on. I definitely would not be creating this post today for all to read.

I have been practicing more and more to lead from the heart. Leading from the heart with healthy choices is the difference I have been practicing.

Besides rules are meant to be broken!

Do you lead from the heart or the head?
