September, bursting at the seams

I am in awe of how full things both awesome and scary my September has become.

I am leading numerous trainings, including a coaching training for social workers!  Yes!

I am designing and leading a two-day reunion retreat for 11 members of the CTI Leadership Air Dragon tribe!  Wheeee! 

At 8am the day following that experience, I will fly to Asheville, NC for a week to begin 10 months (4 week-long retreats) of assisting CTI Leadership, led by MY former leaders, the incredible Rick Tamlyn and L.A. Reding.  I am overwhelmed with gratitude that I get to have this profoundly life-shifting experience again, this time from 'behind the scenes' and behind a camera.

My life changed forever when I went through the Leadership process in 2009 with my beloved Bee tribe, led by Rick and L.A.  I did things that I never dreamed possible and realized who I really am and who I am becoming.  I know that everything will change again after being immersed in the training and learning of this new group.

For the first few months of my 2011, the fear about the uncertainty of all areas of my life left me a bit paralyzed.  It has been a long time since I let fear rule me so totally as I did in this dark spring.  For the last couple of months, I have realized that, like Ravi Singh says, "Fear is just excitement without the breath!"

I am breathing again, and excited for the adventure that is my life.  Ravi S also says, "We cling to the known, when it is the unknown we should go towards.  That is where growth lies, that is where our true happiness lies."

September is full of growth and unknown.  Bring it on!
