The month of yes
Uncategorized
I remember this day all too well. February 26, 2017. That amazing woman next to me is Katie Myers-badass who steps into fears and sets the world on fire. She is now the CEO of a company and I could not be more happy, proud, and grateful to have her as part of my tribe. This was my one and only training we presented together. She went on to do one more, which (I believe) led her to the path she is currently on (how the universe works! I LOVE IT!). Anyways, I let life, and basically my fears, get in the way of my passions and dreams. I believed I could not “make it on my own and in my own business”. That I had to “provide for my family”. And “who am I to believe people will pay money to come to any training I present”. UGH. All of my horrific negative self talk came plummeting in. I let it overtake me.
Today is all about saying yes. Saying yes despite fears. Saying yes to myself and my passions and fighting against that little (but sometimes very LOUD) voice inside me that puts me down and tells me I am not enough. Saying yes to walking into Starbucks with my messy bun, no makeup, pajamas and slippers (totally just did that today! It was liberating!). Saying yes to spontaneous drives with my daughter to check out sites for her to explore her love of photography. Saying yes to messy houses and dishes in the sink. Saying yes to paying for someone to clean my house so I can spend more time doing things I love (believe it or not, that was an internal fight I had for about six months or longer). Saying yes to laughing with my husband and being intentional with my time with him. Saying yes to pursuing my passions while also getting out of my own way to let the universe take me where I am supposed to go. Saying yes to living my best life, right here and now, instead of waiting for it to happen. Take this month to start saying yes…and hopefully it will turn into a lifetime of yes!

P.S. The title was inspired by the book “The Year of Saying Yes” by Hannah Doyle-I STRONGLY suggest you read/listen…sets the soul on fire!
You, my friend, are amazing and I love that we’ve journeyed some wonderful moments together.
Every step, turn, and pause have been part of why you are an inspiration to myself and so many others.
Love you so much!!
We have had so many amazing moments and I believe so many more waiting to be written. You are an inspiration to me for continuous growth, kindness, and love.
Yes, yes, yes!!
Beautiful…. “No”, is a complete sentence and “yes”, is paragraphs waiting to be written.
Jennifer, I couldn’t agree more. You are such a beautiful soul and writer❤️
