I’ve let my coach go. I wrote a letter explaining that I’m not renewing with her, she’s brilliant, I’ve come a long way with her. I have enjoyed it – you’ve probably guessed by now that I am here to enjoy life. If I can enjoy breast cancer treatment I really can find something to enjoy in any situation! The key is definitely how you think about it. Love rather than fear always leads me to joy. 🎉
Being in this community for these 90 days has made me realise how much more I enjoy life when I’m with people who think like me. I feel so blessed to have stumbled (yeah I know this wasn’t an accident) across this group so wonderfully lead by Michael and Lynne. 👏
I honestly don’t want to ‘push’ myself into doing things anymore. Now I know I can just show up and do what needs to be done and my feelings will be what they are, they don’t mean anything about what I’m doing. The yearly plan with my old coach looks ludicrous to me now I’ve achieved impossible things here in less than a quarter of the time expected.
I don’t want to be surrounded by people on a hamster wheel talking about how hard it is and how they are forcing themselves. They are not my people. My people love their life, they choose to do more of what they enjoy and they still get the job done. They get unexpected things done that are magnificent and worthy.
I’m home, I’m with my people right here in this community. Oh, happy tears! How funny! I’m glad I’m writing this in a post instead of sharing it on a call!
Thank you all for all you’ve shared here in the newsfeed, on the calls, in private conversations. You’ve all made this realisation possible for me.🙌
From that initial ‘bouncing with excitement’ moment eager to get started on the first call, to contemplating hearing everyone share on Friday – I have thoroughly enjoyed having you as travelling companions. 😍 Thank you all.
It’s so clear to me now that when I don’t understand something I can learn playfully rather than expecting it to be tedious and offputting. I steered life by joy but not when it came to business and career, until now. Now, it’s joy all the way 😊

Dear Lesley! Wow, what a beautiful share! Thank you so much. I so much feel, what you have experienced, you are such great writer – so clear! I have certainly enjoyed you in this group, all your beautiful comments and living with the others in this fantastic group. I love how you describe your discovery and how you have found a lightness in your life & learning, or maybe even more: life & being – as you describe it! Lots of Love to you! ❤

just came to mind: there was a book called The unbearable lightness of being – I guess this understanding leads us more to “The wonderful lightness of being”! 🤩
