I want to share this beautiful TED talk reminding us to slow down and notice the beauty around us.

What is available to each of us as we sit in a state of wonder? What is around the next corner, at the end of this new pathway, or what your next chapter might be?

And how do you choose to keep your heart open and allow yourself to be in a deep state of gratitude with all that is surrounding you? Even the challenging and difficult pieces.

This is a time of transition and personal growth signaling new beginnings or new chapters in life. It’s so important to use this time to look at how your entire life has brought you to the point you are now at right now.

How do you choose to keep your heart open and allow yourself to be in a deep state of gratitude with all that is surrounding you?

It’s no accident that everything you need to move forward, and grow is at your disposal at this moment in time – regardless of your current situation – and all you have to do to find it, is to look deep inside yourself.

Be present, slow down and notice, be curious, and be grateful.

I personally am in a changing space in my life with my husband now retired and our daily habits changing, my health issues requiring shifts for me in my daily routines, partnering with new companies to further expand my coaching practice. I am walking through the uncomfortable space that all change evokes in us.

For me, the learning is in keeping my heart open, and in gratitude for the experience… even though I find my head trying to make sense of the unknown ahead. And shifting from my headspace to again opening up my heart again…and again…and again.
