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
