Unstoppable
Style Saturday Series

Nature is pure love, its seasons unstoppable. Joy is pure love. Finding joy in everything is our nature – and our nature is unstoppable, too. Love is a force that moves us all forward.
Remember – You Are Safe Here
I want you to look for joy in the folds of your life right now, around you, in your home. There are places, even if they are pieces of your own memory where you hold the light, or rather where the light is holding you. Yes, I know it’s not easy to pick your life picture from broken pieces of mirror, but I am asking you to look inside each and every piece – there is a picture of all of you, in all your glory in every single one of them.
Whatever you have given your power to before - this is the moment to take it all back, my friend. Moments of weakness, loss of someone we loved (I deeply feel with you), illness you’ve battled and overcome, employment that almost killed your spirit, abusive words, unkind people, partners who weren’t willing to go all the way through thick and thin, no matter what we promised to each other…. Let me show you the way out. The gap between where you are and where you imagine yourself wanting to be – seems huge and you don’t know where to start. Well, let’s start with a little love for yourself right now, and the key to going forward.
The Key
The change, and with it – the feeling better than you did in a very, very long time – doesn’t happen when you bridge that gap. No! The real change – and the feeling of relief happen in one tiny moment after you have made a decision – and took just one step forward. The step that you will repeat each day until you are ready to take two steps, or to pick up the pace, or just go steady on – without ever stopping, or even looking back too often. The step in itself is not the key, but the promise you give yourself when you take it is the sacred ground. Trust me, you will not break the promise to yourself.
The Best Place to Start
Your home! Nothing shows you your state better than your immediate surroundings. Does it need a little gentle love, just as much as you do? Your home can be the best and the worst reflection of you. It is rarely anything in the middle. Today is merely an invitation to think about the connection between your home and you. If you want to challenge me to empower you to wake the noble gumption of your own, just say Yes. Find me, I am not difficult to find, you can find me or Indigo & Verdigris pretty much everywhere, and just say Yes. Say Yes to you, say Yes to the new dream, say Yes to the life you want to live – and let’s discard the old story, and create you a powerful new chapter. The pen will be in your hand, my friend….
* * * * The Exclusive Update – 326 Days to Dream * * * *
1.
I knew that having to record my recent predicament is a double edge sword. I didn’t mean to worry my friends, and I am sorry to ever inflict any worry on them. But I had to record it merely to keep a promise to myself that this record is honest in the moment documenting of my story, and particularly the 365 Days to Dream part. The time is short and every moment has to be accounted for. I am not saying that we have to exhaust ourselves, but I assume responsibility for my wellness, and also for the consequence when I get ill. However, while in the past I used to be really upset with myself – now I have infinitely more patience and understanding. I do give myself advice as if it’s not me, but my best friend who is going through it. Remember the best friend filter (read it here if you missed it). So, thankfully, today was a much better day, and I feel like things are settling down inside me. I know I am well and truly on the mend. Thank you so much for your concern and best wishes. I appreciate your reaching out so much, my dear friend.

The feeling of the day is absolute gratitude. I have found enough strength today to finish the spring cleaning (just with minutes to spare before our Easter celebration tomorrow), and I wish you were all able to join my little family and me for lunch and a special time together. From my heart to yours, I extend love and every blessing you can imagine.

It’s lovely to have a glimpse of getting back to normal self after a few days of recuperation of energy and strength. I am taking tomorrow off, but I will definitely be thinking about, and discussing with the family all my plans, taking their ideas on board and figuring out the next steps to take.
Reminder: The new episode of This is Your Moment podcast is coming to you shortly, so make sure to watch this space tomorrow for that link.
