2012 is Shaking Things Up Already
By LeahI can’t believe that it’s less than three weeks till we welcome in 2012!!
I’m excited about 2012, are you?
I’m excited by all the shifts and changes that are happening in the world. I believe that this is what 2012 is all about. The shifting into a new level of expansion where we take a stand for what we believe in and what is important to us. We’ll ditch the status quo and tune into a new way of living and relating that honors the individual and what each of us has to offer.
I’ve felt this shift coming for a long time now. I’ve felt it in your unwillingness to be a cog in the system and your desire to do meaningful work and heal yourself, each other and the planet.
I feel now it in the dissatisfaction with the government, unequal distribution of wealth and dysfunctional justice systems throughout the world.
I feel it in the underlying desire for MORE that I hear expressed by my clients. More connection, meaning, abundance, joy, peace……the list goes on and on. This strong desire for more will not go unanswered! The opportunities are there for each of us.
I’m wondering how this shift is showing up for you? What are you questioning and wanting more of?
On a personal level, I’ve been feeling the shattering of some old stories that I’ve been subconsciously holding onto, and it’s opened the way for some major expansion!
I’m embarrassed to admit too some of these stories…but I will share them with you anyway.
One story said nobody really wanted me around nor did they care what I had to say. Another one told me I didn’t fit in with the cool kids.
Both of these stories are just plain crazy!
When I pay attention to my life, I see proof that they are not true, but deep down inside I was buying into these old stories and they were holding me back. Here are a few examples – I noticed that I was holding back in social situations and feeling like I didn’t fit in around other powerful, successful business women. I was looking for the ways I didn’t fit in rather than all the ways we could be friends. WTF!??
I also wouldn’t call friends up and pursue spending time together last minute because I figured everyone already had plans and they didn’t invite me. Poor me!!! No body likes me!!!
Seriously???!!??
I’m glad I cleared that shit out!!!
I’m enjoying my friends so much more and connecting with tons of cool business men and women that I’m looking forward to collaborating with in 2012.
Are you experiencing all the internal questioning that this shift brings with it? Share what you are releasing and expanding into in the comments below!

Um, I always think of you AS one of the cool kids, Leah… lol. Seriously super awesome of you to share this with us as an inside look at the everyday goings-on of your life and mind. We all have these stories. The last one I decided to burn to ashes was the one that goes, “I figured no one will understand me because I am so different, so i’m not going to send my message out into the world. I might get laughed at.” Oh, and I’d TOTALLY hang with you, last minute or not. This reminds me of the movie “The Breakfast Club” where they are talking about whether they would still be friends on Monday. When Allison is asked she says she doesn’t have friends but that the friends she would have wouldn’t mind being friends with the rest of them. She and Brian admit to being the “weirdos”, the freaks. I think we all put labels and limitations on ourselves to keep ourselves safe and in box’s. I am expanding into the fact that I love hanging out with and working with ALL kinds of people, the business types, the freaky types and any other type, because really, we are all the same and have so much to learn from each other this year. I, for one, am all ears, Leah, and am so excited to keep learning from/with you in 2012!! Lots of Love, Girl – Carmen

Hi Carmen!
I for one want to hear your message!
I love the Breakfast Club and I think you are right….we do put limitations and labels on ourselves.Matter of fact- I find that the only limitations that we have are self-imposed.
We are all the same and our lives will be much more expansive if we recognize that we all are students and teachers.
It’s all good baby!
I’m glad your listening!
Rock on!
Leah
