allies, resources + gratitude
I stumbled upon a raven. Ravens = transformation.
I’m taking a magical e-course right now called “Dreaming in the Dark”. The course focuses on telling the story of your business this past year and dreaming up the tale you’ll write for yourself in the new year.
It’s always been clear to me that I am my business, being a “creative type” and all. I’ve kept my nose to the grindstone, working hard to stay afloat in reality (keep a roof over my head) while simultaneously pursuing my true passions (singing/songwriting/teaching). My life often feels like a whirlwind, both frenzied and wonderful with many hats to wear. I haven’t stopped to look out over the expanse and just observe in a while.
Two things that Hiro Boga, the inspiring creator of “Dreaming…” asked us to pay attention to are our allies, those people in our lives who help and support us in our businesses (family, friends, colleagues, mentors, clients, bandmates) and our resources. It really hit me when she reminded us that our resources are not only external (money, connections, ideas) but also internal (the stuff we’re made of– our own creative skill sets, determination and inner strength). It’s easy to focus on the external since it’s always right there in plain sight. That internal fire is just so important, though. It’s fuel for dreaming and when paired with people who truly care about what you want for your life, big things happen!
I am so grateful for the powerful combination of my own allies and resources and their role in shaping my story thus far. Why not try making a little space this season to reflect upon yours?
