What is YOUR story? Who are YOU? What is YOUR life journey all about?
When I was 6 years old, I moved to Vancouver and attended Mount Pleasant Elementary School. I remember my first day like it was yesterday. The teacher asked me to play outside with the kids during recess so I went up to a few kids in the playground to introduce myself. When I went to play with the kids, they immediately turned their backs on me. I remember the feeling of being left out and not wanted. It was very hurtful. From that moment in my life, I decided I would never let anyone feel that way. Since then I have been on a journey to ensure that everyone I meet feels loved. Everything I have been involved in has been about serving my life purpose “to live WOW and LOVE completely”. For the last 40 years, I have been co-creating life changing experiences and bringing people together as an HR professional, Executive Coach and Facilitator, by leading a non-profit organization called Enspire Foundation that builds communities locally and globally, and by co-founding SPARK Creations, a heart based leadership and empowerment organization. I am love.
What has been YOUR biggest challenge or life obstacle that YOU feel has dimmed YOUR GLOW?
This is an interesting question for me as I am the type of person who loves to push through their fears. I have no regrets. As a true Aries, I am always seeking opportunities for new WOW experiences and doing what scares me. If I ever dim my GLOW, it’s because I have a part of me that has self-doubt. Is this the right choice for me? How will I do? Am I worthy? For a moment, my mind starts to chatter. Then I take a deep breathe, let go of my thoughts, and listen to my heart. This love ritual usually helps to brighten my GLOW and SPARK my next action!
How have YOU grown as a woman in the last year? What lessons, insights or ah-ha moments have you had?
This past year has been about gratitude. One of my friends recommended me to read the book “The Magic” by Rhonda Byrne and it literally has changed my life. Some people do health cleanses for a period of time. I read “The Magic” and integrate various gratitude activities for 28 days. When you wake up every morning saying “thank you” and write 10 daily gratitudes, you can’t help but smile for the rest of the day. The intention and energy that you create for yourself attracts more of what you are grateful for. Since reading this book, I am surrounded by so much love and abundance in all areas of my life. It is truly MAGIC!!
