Have Wings….Will Fly

I can remember the days when I used to hate flying.  I’d say up until about 3 years ago, I probably flew about 3 times in my life.  My have things changed. :)

The past couple of months have been busy for me and I’m absolutely loving it.  4 trips in 2 months and I AM Elated.  I’m often asked if I’m traveling for business or pleasure.  The answer is always the same and it’s always yes.  My life is my business and it’s always a pleasure.

My life is always about playing and exploring what else is possible for me in my life.  So as I venture forth into the unknown, I share my discoveries with other women.  Sometimes I hear, “wow…I could never do that.”

Well, don’t be so sure.  :)   I am in the business of sharing with women how to create a life of your choosing.  A life that says if that’s what you want then why not create it?  It’s simple and it’s effortless.  O.K.  I said it’s simple and effortless however it’s not always easy.  The bottom line is the good, the bad and the ugly is all of our creation so really…’It’s all good.’  Life is simple when you recognize that it’s a learning experience and sometimes the experience is right there in plain view and sometimes it takes a couple of breaths before you recognize it however the learning experience is always there.  Remembering to breathe of course is of the utmost importance.

So obviously I’m not a bird however since I’m not, I do know that there are many ways to get from point A to B.  Whether it’s traveling or my life, I like to take the direct approach.  I even consider my flights and who I’ll choose to fly with.  I am not dedicated to Air Canada, Westjet, United or any other airlines for that matter, I am however committed to me and my personal evolution.  Price is another thing that doesn’t dictate what I choose, which would have been a motivational factor before along with the airlines.

If I can get a cheaper flight  and I’ll save $75 and it will take me 2 hours longer to get there, you wanna bet I’ll be investing that $75 to get me to my destination quicker.  My life and time is valuable and it’s not to be wasted…it’s to be ‘invested.’

There have been many times in my life when I didn’t think that I was worth the $75 or the new pair of shoes or whatever.  Now I know that my life is of my choosing and I am driving my own bus (or flying my own plane).  How I choose to drive and reach my destination is entirely up to me and no one can tell me any longer what is right for me.  Why?  Because they don’t really know cause they don’t live in my body.

No matter what is put in front of me I get to choose how I engage.  I am mindful in how I decide by considering my internal cues in my body.  So if I’m flying somewhere and I have the option to get there faster, it may well be that I take a more direct flight.  If however I’ve been so busy that I haven’t allowed myself to slow down, it may well be that I take a flight with stop overs just so I can have some time to myself.  It’s simple and it’s of my choosing.

So for me right now….I don’t have wings and I can tell you that it won’t be the thing that stops me from moving forward.  Air Canada has wings and for an investment…they’re willing to share them with me.  Now that’s a friend.  :)

As I venture forth into the unknown and loving every minute of it (well most of it), I’m happy to be your friend and to share with you what else is possible for you in your life.

Have a Wonderful Weekend!   :)
