I remember feeling very alone and disconnected.

I remember wondering if I was adopted ‘cause I just didn’t “fit” my family.

I remember worrying if I was weird because I was told repeatedly “Nobody thinks like that.”

I remember thinking I was crazy and everyone was just being nice to me.

That’s where I was as a child, adolescent and young woman.

And I am so grateful I connected, found my place, honoured my uniqueness and valued my contribution. All of those feelings lead me to where I am today, and allowed me to create what I have created and contribute how I can to my community.

Each and everyone of us has a place. There is a song I love written by American Folksinger Bill Staines “All God’s Creature’s Have a Place in the Choir”. Here is a wonderful 2 minute break for you – it’s worth a look and a listen two of my old folkie pals (now on the “other side”, but still bringing joy to the world with their music) Tommy Makem and Liam Clancey:

• I forgive myself for believing there is something wrong with me because I’m “not like everybody else”.
• I forgive myself for believing I need to compare myself to others, and judge myself.
• I give myself permission to be uniquely who I am.
• I give myself permission to value my contributions.
• I choose to show up as me and bring my unique gifts to my community.
• I am free to be appreciated for the unique individual I am within my community.
• I know what it feels like to be valued and appreciated by others. It happened when I …
• I am so grateful to _______________ (insert a specific person’s name) for valuing and appreciating my ­­­­­­­_________________ (specific contribution of yours)
• I am a valued, contributing member of my community.

Whatever your religious beliefs, the sentiment ALL God’s creatures have a place in the choir holds true. The music we make in community needs EVERYONE’S voice.

Yours included.

Please step up and step in.

Your community needs your contribution.

Only you can add your unique piece.

A local restaurant advertises that good food takes time – and I agree. Attention to detail, care and concern for the ingredients is paramount when preparing a meal.

We often translate this into big projects have to take a lot of time, effort and hard work.

However, as I have been bringing together everything for the launch next weekend of the new Flip YOUR Switch complimentary weekend in Calgary (there are 150 participants!), I’ve discovered that what I need shows up, and at exactly the right moment.

Today’s decisions ripple out and play into the needs of tomorrow, translating them into beautiful completion. I make a request for help, and a friend appears. I need an extra hour and a client calls to reschedule today’s appointment for another time. I ask for a terrific facility, and one materializes.

As long as I remain centered, authentic and on the up-side of the line, those cats that needed herding begin flying in formation in the right direction, and I am reminded:

Good things take time, but great things happen all at once.

• I forgive myself for believing great things have to be hard.
• I give myself permission to make decisions from the “upside” of the line.
• I choose to welcome the magic of being on-purpose.
• I am free to receive greatness into my life with ease.
• I know what it feels like to have great things happen all at once. It happened when I met… It also happened when I discovered …
• I am  in flow and great things are happening – all at once!

The seemingly impossible becomes not only probable – but actual.

And…speaking of GREAT things…

YOU are welcome to join us for the next Flip YOUR Switch weekend in Calgary, January 8 – 10, 2016. It is my gift to you. 

Can you imagine 2.5 days of learning and integrating Belief Re-patterning into your daily way of BE-ing? All you have to do is get here and cover your own accommodation and meals. The course is complimentary. What an incredibly GREAT way to begin the New Year.

Remember: Great things happen all at once! Set the intention and allow the magic to appear!

Namaste,

One of my American clients was quite surprised when I mentioned that this weekend is Thanksgiving in Canada. “Why so early?” they asked…well if we are celebrating the harvest, we best do it before the snow flies, and in northern climes that is usually earlier than the end of November!

It seems like everyone is in transition this time of year – whether it’s because the weather is changing, or the anticipation of the end of the year as we enter the final quarter, change is happening!

If you are dissatisfied with your current employment, or exploring something that makes your heart sing…

Whether you are frustrated with a relationship, or wanting to deepen the connection you have…

Perhaps you have health challenges, or ready to reinforce the great health you are already enjoying…

Gratitude for where you are already opens you to an easier transition.

• I forgive myself for believing this transition needs to be challenging.
• I give myself permission to discover what I am grateful for right here, right now.
• I choose to be grateful for what is and move through transition into what I desire with ease.
• I am free to be thankful today for…
• I was grateful yesterday for…
• I am  deepening my ability to be grateful right where I am, and open up the energy!

Many people use Belief Re-patterning for “fixing” what’s “wrong”, or moving through a challenge. The truth is, Belief Re-patterning supports your mind, body and soul in transition – and we are all, everyone of us, in constant transition – just like the seasons.

Sometimes the transitions are subtle, sometimes dramatic. Sometimes easy, sometimes challenging.

ALWAYS what makes transition easier is GRATITUDE for what is.

Namaste,

There’s nothing like being told to put your affairs in order to create a different perspective. I was fortunate – that is what happened to me 28 years ago – nearly half of my life! I fooled them all and stuck around, and that experience brought me wonderful lessons…make moments count, hug the people I love and every day indulge in something I love.

Yesterday it was a walk in the Aspen grove a block from my home. The fall has been long and beautiful here – usually we have a killing frost before the end of September, but this year the trees are magnificent. Just walking along the shimmering gold pathway makes my heart sing. All the cares and concerns melt away, creative ideas flow, and I remember who I really am.

I’m worth it, and I value my time. And I am trading my life for what really matters to me.

• I forgive myself for believing that I don’t have time for what I really love.
• I give myself permission to value myself and do something I really love.
• I choose to deepen my feelings of self-worth by valuing my time.
• I am free to indulge myself today by…
• I know what it feels like to value myself – it happened when I … (went for a walk in the Aspens yesterday)
• I am trading the moments of my life for what really matters – to me.

…and if you find your Inner Critic disagreeing with you, do something in the next 10 minutes to prove that you ARE trading your life for what really matters…and then go do it!

Namaste,

I had a situation this yesterday where things weren’t sitting right. I know you’ve been there too. Do you “mind your own business” and stay out of it, or do you speak your truth and bring your concerns to light?

Sometimes keeping your own counsel is the best path, and sometimes speaking up is the better route – how do you know what to do?

Remember – it isn’t about DO-ing, it IS about how you want to show up in any given situation. It is the way you are BE-ing that makes all the difference.

• I forgive myself for believing that I should mind my own business.
• I give myself permission to stop focusing on “things not being right” and discover what works to help things get better.
• I give myself permission to decide how I want to “BE”, and move forward from the “up” side of the line.
• I choose to be my best version of myself and act from that way of being.
• I am free to be my best self to help things get better today when I…
• I know what it feels like to help make things right – I did it by keeping my own counsel when I…
• I also know what it feels like to help make things right – I did it by compassionately speaking my truth when I…
• I am helping “things be right”.

My choice? I kept my own counsel, got myself into a supportive frame of mind, and then wrote a note cleanly and clearly outlining what my perceptions were from a compassionate place of shedding light on the situation, and made a couple of positive suggestions. Next time I might “DO’ something different, but I know I’ll “BE” the best version of myself I can be in the situation!

Namaste,

Suze
