Last Week: My question and action were about making decisions (See below).As I went through my week, I found it easy and easy to be an optimistic criticalthinker and be very present to making a decision from where I am and who I am and not on what BAD out come could happen. This allowed for grace to appear in feeling clear in my decisions and actions.

Point of Pondering:  "Whenever I'm forced with a difficult decision, I ask myself: What would I do if I weren't afraid of making a mistake, feeling rejected, looking foolish or being alone?" Oprah Winfrey, This I Know for Sure

Graceful Action:  I will BE with this question as I make my decisions this week.

This week's Point of Pondering: 

Never again will I do anything for anyone that I do not feel directly from my heart.  I will not attend a meeting, make a phone call, write a letter, sponsor or participate in any activity in which every fiber of my being does not resound yes.  I will act with the intent to be true to myself.”  Oprah Winfrey, What I Know for Sure

Graceful Action:  I will ACT from this stake in the ground.

Happily Yours, Amy

My Ponderings....

I have been reflecting on my normal way of being, my set point of being a "workaholic" in all I do (since a young girl taking care of my four sisters) .  The last few years my focus has been about how can I set boundaries with grace, do work of purpose with grace and BE grace in all I do.  

Today I start my Grace Notes to help me and anyone else who wants more grace in life and in work.

Point of Pondering:  "Whenever I'm forced with a difficult decision, I ask myself:  What

would I do if I weren't afraid of making a mistake, feeling rejected, looking foolish or being alone?" Oprah Winfrey, This I Know for Sure

Graceful Action:  I will BE with this question as I make my decisions this week.

Happy Tuesday!!!

We continue with the  Music 4 Life® GREAT finale to 2014 Dare to BE Happy Challenge.  

Last week we focused on Boundaries at Work.  My AHA was: Get clear on what I want then set boundaries around that in all areas of your life.  The first boundaries are with ME!

You’ll be on your way up!  You’ll be seeing great sights!

You’ll join the high fliers who soar to great heights.

Except when you don’t.  Because, sometimes, you won’t.

Dr. Seuss Oh, the Places You’ll Go

This week we focus on Harnessing the Power of Change.  We will dance with the common reactions to change, why are we (you...me) fearful of change, some common stages of change, principles of change, some processes that help you to harness the power of change. 

With Change we step into the unknown, where everything both wonderful and terrifying is possible!!!
