Tidbits of Wisdom

I last wrote on Wednesday which seems an eternity ago! And I am writing from the home of my life coach near O'Hare airport. I'll be heading to my parents' home in a few hours for the annual family picnic. Then home... home to Jamie. Yes, I am looking forward to that! I have missed him.

Yet, there are many NOW moments between now and then, many opportunities to co-create and create from what shows up in the meantime. And there are many learning opportunities as life continues. Always a moment to be with.

So what is really important to tell you?

Yes, it is Monday. Maria and I, along with our fabulous assistants, Kim and Eva, spent yesterday with six amazing, beautiful, deep, courageous women. As always happens, there are no accidents and the perfect number of people showed up, connected, and supported each other truly in each moment.

Maria and I will be with a small group of women today with a vision that each experience the song inside their own heart and soul, become aware of the negative voices that hold them back, and feel empowered to move through, beyond, and change the world with the song that they are! We are blessed to have our leadership colleague, Kim, with us from London and Maria's "niece-in-law" Eva, to support us.

Are we ready?

Well... I made it! Down to the center of Warsaw and back on the train. I even walked around a bit and took some pictures to prove it. Now, Dorothy, the Lawrence alumna in Poland, helped with that by providing an even easier map to follow than the one Maria had already supplied. Needless to say, I didn't do this trip "alone'!

What I want to write about, though, is a huge learning that began with Dorothy and ended later with Maria.

This is the question which I'm choosing to answer with "Yes!" in this moment. Remember, though, that I've lived in Wisconsin all my life and we don't have subways or trains - much. I have a car, a scooter, a bicycle, and two feet. But train stations with stops that have names I cannot spell or pronounce no matter how hard I try:

Scodmiescle (missing it's accent marks!)
Wschodnia

However, a Lawrence alumna works about 5 minutes away from the downtown Warsaw train station and has time to chat with me this afternoon. With Maria's help,
