a clean slate: The Future is yours’ to design!
Hello Fabulous Leading Ladies!
I know it’s been ages since I’ve posted here and I’ve so missed connecting with you in this way.
It has been one crazy ride for me the last seven or so months—crazier than I could possibly relay in a single post. What I will say is, I’m delighted to be back with you!
One thing that happened in the crazy times was my computer hard drive crashed irreparably. It would not have felt so horrible if I hadn’t used the prior six months to painstakingly move all of my data/documents (articles, books, client papers, contracts, training curriculums, etc.) off my last two computers and all my disks in order to consolidate them on my new computer. Then, of course, I discarded/wiped clean all of that data from their prior resting places. To top it off, I had recently got an external hard drive in order to back up my computer, but needed to hook it up and format it. Naturally, this lovely piece of equipment was not hooked up prior to my sudden and unexpected hard drive failure.
The short of it is…I lost EVERYTHING—years and years worth. I still have a lingering nausea that comes every time I think about it. But the truth is, that’s history. The other truth is, this was a truly minor blip compared with other events I’ve experienced both recently and in years passed (and absolutely nothing compared to the excruciating experiences that comprise the lives of many on our planet). From this vantage point I proceed.
So here’s what I’ve decided to do with this event…
I am moving forward with a “Clean Slate.” All of the books I’ve started but hadn’t finished, all of the articles I have written but hadn’t yet had a chance to publish, and of the papers I’ve written, the curriculum I’ve designed, all of it served me for a time; for that I am grateful . I have grieved the loss, but today is a new day! I have been gifted with a fresh canvas on which to paint. I am working with a “clean slate.”
Is it a little or even a lot scary? Yes!
But is it also exciting and exhilarating? Your dam right it is!!!
So from exhilaration platform of my “clean slate” I am looking at the world around me. I’m looking at you. I’m looking at myself. I’m seeing and experiencing things with new eyes and no lingering shadows. By looking at you from this new place I saw something I hadn’t noticed or paid close attention to until now.
Let’s talk about you, shall we?
Many of you on my mailing/contact list and others of you who simply happen upon or follow the LoungeTalk blog, are women I’ve never met or haven’t had the pleasure of connecting with in ages. Others of you, I have the privilege of connecting/working with more often. Wherever you are in this landscape, I want to know and support you more.
I want to reflect back to you the magnificent woman you are and help shepherd you to new and unimaginable levels of joy, fulfillment and true abundance.
I’m offering you a clean slate on which you can design your future.
If you do not currently have a Coach, you are my priority! With 2010 less than two months away, I believe it’s time to insist that your life be everything you have longed for and then some.
Do you have a dream, something you have been aching to do, accomplish, attain? Are you ready to get supported in making that dream a reality? If so, those are the only two prerequisites for working with me as your Coach .
If you are reading this, there is a reason. I truly believe this. And the reason is, you are at a new threshold in your life’s journey. You are ready for coaching and the door is open to you
All you need to do right now is go to
www.LeadingLadiesLounge.com
and become part of the Leading Ladies Family by signing up for our complementary E-zine.
Then call me and set up a free consultation so we can begin our work towards your most incredible, powerful self ever!

Dying and Rebirthing- Finding the light in the darkness
Hello and Happy Friday Fabulous Leading Ladies!
O and happy New Year!!!
May this year bring you all you desire and then some!
As I considered writing something for this post, many thoughts flitted across my consciousness. This is the one that seemed most dominant…
I know we are currently surrounded by the harsh realities of recession, job loss and a seeming domino effect of infrastructures crashing down around us. However, I also sense a very real shift, a creative new way of living, doing business, collaborating and managing our resources.
In short, I see our current situation as a sort of wild fire that is devastating and deeply painful to experience, but which is clearing away the ineffectual, dead way of thinking and acting. This “clearing” process is necessary in order to create fertile ground for heightened levels of thinking, behaving and engaging (at micro and macro levels).
I feel and sense this dying and rebirthing happening all around me. Do you?
If you have not sensed this process underway, I offer you an eye-opening challenge. I offer you the opportunity to begin listening, looking and being curious about if and/or where you witness this dying/rebirthing process in action. And if you, as many of us do, need to be lifted up mentally/spiritually, I offer that you may want to focus initially on the “rebirthing” you encounter in your life and in the world around you.
Since we, as Natural Born Leaders, are the ones that others often turn to in times of need, it is our beautiful duty to see the light in the darkness, point it out to our own sometimes weary spirits and gently but regularly share it with those who have not yet seen it.
So lovely Leading Lady, find those pin pricks of light/rebirthing, take them in as the nourishment they are for your soul and then share the nourishment with those who care to partake.
Here’s to you and the rebirthing of all things good and beautiful in your life and in the lives of all those you touch along the way!
With much love,
Coach Angel
