Do you ever feel like giving up on your Vision?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

I wanted to call this post WTF?! (F stands for fudge of course) but decided that was not a good idea.\u00a0 Since my last post there have been many ups and downs and frankly I have not felt like writing.\u00a0 A big part of this apprehension lay in the fact that I did not want to write about anything negative in my blog\u2026BUT, that is not being true to the nature of this blog, which is meant to chronicle the journey of one\u00a0living her\u00a0Vision.\u00a0 The intent of the blog is to tell a story that hopefully others can identify with and get something from.\u00a0 Therefore I can not pretend that living my Vision is always easy or fun.<\/p>\n

When I returned from my wonderful trip to L.A. it was time to get down to marketing the first Women\u2019s Success Retreat to be held Oct. 23-25.\u00a0 The way I saw\u00a0it I did\u00a0not have\u00a0much time.\u00a0 I began my marketing efforts in earnest. Newsletter, facebook, twitter, a couple listserves, word of mouth etc.\u00a0 Maybe I expected too much but basically I felt like I was shouting into a canyon and hearing crickets chirping back\u2026nothing!\u00a0 Hello? I began to wonder\u2026is anyone out there?\u00a0 Really worse than that I began to wonder\u2026does anyone out there need what I am offering?\u00a0 Am I useful?\u00a0 I thought I had a purpose, a mission but maybe I was\/am wrong.\u00a0 Self doubt and doubt of my vision began to loom larger and larger and I went down.\u00a0 Suddenly I did not feel so confident.\u00a0 Usually I am very confident that I can pull of anything I undertake but suddenly that was gone and the fear of failure stood in its place.\u00a0 I gave into this for a few days but have now regrouped.<\/p>\n

This is the deal.\u00a0 I AM living my Vision! No one said it would be easy or that I would always meet with immediate success.\u00a0 I will try my best to be true to myself and my Vision and work as hard as I can to be of service to others.\u00a0 I do not control the whole thing.\u00a0 I believe that my Higher Power will take it from there.\u00a0 I may succeed in the way I think I should or She\/He\/It may have different plans for me\u2026that is the deal with being human.<\/p>\n

Is my work done?\u00a0 No I have much to do on both the physical and spiritual plain.\u00a0 Physically I have to get off my but and market this retreat.\u00a0 Spiritually I have to pray and meditate and keep my channels clean and open to be guided as to what my next steps should be and then I need the power to carry that out.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m off to bed now because I have a coaching client\u00a0early in the morning downtown and then a workshop later in the\u00a0day.\u00a0 I will be on the look-out for the miracles this week.<\/p>\n

Wish me luck as I do the\u00a0same for you!<\/p>\n
