Hello Beautiful! Woo Hoo! We made it into another year and I’m thrilled to see 2018. So happy to be laser-clear on my message and client focus (Helping highly motivated women figure out What they want, Why they don’t have it, and How to get it) and delivering that message in a way that supports the lifestyle I crave (free, flush, and flexible).

Are you clear on your focus and path? Have you chosen your word of the year? I chose ten. My year’s going to be X-tra Fabulous! LOL!!

One of my words is Core, as in Core Desired Feelings (CDF’s) from the Desire Map question, “How do you want to feel?”. Desire Mapping shows you how to create goals that support how you want to feel. Connecting to what lights you up and what weighs you down is a much more accurate guide for achieving life satisfaction than setting goals and resolutions from an external driver. Paying attention to my CDF’s led me to cancel the wonderful Desire Map retreat I planned for the end of January. My dad has some health issues and staying close to home feels best. The same day I made this decision, my fortune cookie message validated it. 🙂

You can’t keep a good coach down, though and I still want to do my part in helping you kick off  your best year ever. No broken resolutions in a few months for you! Let That S#%t Go! and create Goals that Roll you toward that life you crave! The modified plan: Follow my blog during the month of January and I’ll walk you through the Desire Map process…gratis!

I’m also moving back the timeline on the Let That S#%t Go! teleclass (details coming) and will be contacting those who’ve already signed up.

Happy New Year!! I leave you with a few questions to ask yourself:

– How do I want to feel day to day?

– What lights me up? Is it aspirational or inspirational?

– What weighs me down? Can I Bag it, Barter it, or Better it?

– What keeps me from going after what I truly eant?

– What would feel like a miracle to me right now?

P.S. One of the BEST things I did for myself in ‘17 was outsourcing the business tasks outside of my zone of excellence. Such huge time sucks! Shout-out to my Business Support person, Valerie Camille Shields who is ALL kinds of wonderful!! Look at this lovely gift card she created for the retreat that was inspired by Shout-out #2, Hubby Extraordinare, Bill (Clark) Kent who contacted me about gifting the retreat to his wife Sibyl. A retreat is going to happen, if for no other reason than an excuse to use these gift cards. LOL!

P.P.S. Take a moment to inhale this ‘should be read daily’ poem, Today…read by the Ah-mazing actress, Lynn Whitfield, https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7Ml06Uz8qUk

Hello Beautiful!

A few weeks ago, I was in a bit of a funk. As previously mentioned, I co-facilitated a successful live version of Your Next Move, my program on getting work you love. It was a pretty amazing experience watching eight women (who didn’t know each other) bond through the vulnerability of moving from being afraid to believing in new possibilities and crafting plans to get them. They formed their own Facebook group and are doing meetups to keep each encouraged and on track.

Why was I in a funk after that? Because I went from “Now” to, “Okay, What’s Next?” And because I was tired. I put ‘Next’ on pause, took a nap, and allowed myself to bask in MUCH gratitude and a little ‘pat myself on the back’. Not for what happened in the class, but for the fact that the class happened. For saying “Yes” to opportunity without knowing outcome.

I came across a magazine article interview of mine from six years ago, http://b-metro.com/b-yourself-cheryl-myers/1640/. If you take a few minutes to read it, you’ll see that several things have changed: my age (58), my work status (from corporate to business owner), my first name (using my middle name), my last name (got married), my mom (experienced the shock of her unexpected death) and I’m no longer “hoping” to be freed from a daily schedule.

I Am Free.

But, I was always free. That’s the tricky thing…the minds#%t. We tell ourselves we can’t do XYZ or we have to do ABC,  when the only thing we must do is die. The. Only. Thing. Everything else is a choice. You may not like some of your choices or you may feel compelled to do ‘what’s right’ in other instances, but…

They. Are. Still. Choices.

I coach my clients (and myself) on this truth: Time is passing whether we act or not. Why not let it pass with your making PROactive choices instead of REactive choices or the choice to remain stuck.

It was good re-reading the interview and reflecting on all of ‘my next moves’. Moves that I had no idea in April 2011 would bring me to where I am today. I learned to trust the journey more than I focus on the destination. I’m still loving life and Mr. Washington. Being in the business of helping more and more women choose their version of happy is the cherry on top!

What I Let Go? Bye Bye funk. Rest and Reflect. Hello NEXT!

P.S. Health Coach Renee Reid is a woman who chose to get unstuck. She was partly inspired by the 12 Days of Thanksgiving to get moving on her dreams. Check out her new podcast, Welcome To Your Life, available on Itunes! Its goood! Plus her name is Renee. Just sayin’. 😊

Recently, I was blessed to bask in the wisdom of a gorgeous living legend, Mrs. Beatrice M. Price. This Phenomenal Woman is a World War II veteran who served as a nurse to the Tuskegee Airmen and counts General Patton as one of her patients. In 2012, she was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor for her service.

Mrs. Price pictured with her surrogate daughter (and one of my BEST friends), Karen Beverly

During our visit, she talked about her life and coming to terms with the limitations that come with age. What particularly struck me was that she referred to both her career and personal life of service as her ‘mission of necessity’.

Woo Sa! That deeply resonated with me because it’s how I feel about being the best wife/daughter/sister/friend. It’s also how I feel about coaching!

What’s Your Mission of Necessity?

I was in the D.C. area, co-facilitating Your Next Move, the program I created to help women get work they love. LOTS of learning, mindset block dissolving, dreaming and planning going on in workship. We asked the question, “What have you been wanting to do, but haven’t done yet?” My response: “Learn how to bake bread.” On the second day, one of the participants brought me three books about the topic. Now, baking bread has moved from my ‘want to do’ to my ‘will do’. Sometimes, all we need is a nudge.

November 30th, five years ago, I left my company with no ‘next move’ planned. That was truly a leap of faith and one of my greatest of all times moves! I jumped, and the net appeared.

What have YOU been wanting to do, but haven’t done yet?

I’ve got more questions and I can help you find your answers.

P.S. It’s easy to get off track with self-care during the hustle & bustle of the holidays. Click here for some inspiration to stick with it.

No hype. Just fact. Three hours left.

Thank you!!

P.S. Resending because the link in the first email wasn’t shareable. Technology continuously tests my commitment but It Won’t Defeat Me! LOL!! I’m Passionately Relentless about my business. And it’s true: It’s not work when you love it!

Whether you’re coming to the end of your Thanksgiving celebration or a regular weekend, I hope it’s been wonderful!

THE EMPTY CHAIR.

Some of you may find the holidays challenging. They have been for me the past several years because of ‘the empty chair’. Here’s how I flipped my script. Maybe it will help you flip yours.

After my mom’s death several years ago, my holiday cheer was replaced with a pissy mode from November to January. I wanted this holiday season to be different. Surprising people is one of my jams and “The 12 Days of Thanksgiving” editions of my newsletter provided the perfect opportunity for me to do just that. To keep it going, I’ve been calling (instead of texting) my friends to verbally express my Thanksgiving greetings and sharing the specific reasons I’m grateful for their friendship. I arrived at my family home carrying my mom’s purse and was gratefully present with the family I’ve been blessed to be a part of, while holding mom’s memory. If you’re grieving an “empty chair” or dealing with other holiday drama, change your focus.  It works! Set boundaries that honor that focus. Be X-tra good to yourself!

KEEP IT MOVING!

Here’s some inspiration for keepin’ your body moving through the holiday/winter months from my friend and client, Delores Simmons. I need all the help I can get! LOL!!  Follow her Facebook page for Dee’s ‘Maintain Not Gain’ Holiday Fitness Challenge. Her videos are short, on point and I LOVE seeing clients make those moves to design their life around their passion. YAY, Delores!!

I don’t judge how people spend their $$. That’s your business.

Be intentional.

Enjoy your week, Ladies!

 

 

 

 

 

“…The key is to surrender to the bigger dream that life has for you. I’m not living the dream because Im special. I’m living the dream because I was obedient to the call of the dream. So, what is life’s dream for you? So many people spend their life hoping and wishing and desiring things. But this is what I do know for sure: You don’t get what you hope for. You don’t get what you wish for. You get what you believe.” ~ Oprah

Oprah spoke above in her and Deepak’s meditation series on time in reference to her early dream to own a home that had six trees. She noticed that rich people’s homes had trees and the richest woman she knew had six. She had a vision for her life and when she truly surrendered to it, her vision was realized beyond what she could see and includes a home from which she can view hundreds of trees!

That may sound woo woo, but I too have experienced this. I was a painfully shy child and only wanted books and my mom. I would cross the street to avoid having to make eye contact with someone. In my teens, the realization came that living the life I wanted wouldn’t happen if I didn’t learn how to engage with people…all kinds of people. So, I did.

Then years ago, I told myself that I had enough friends. More limited thinking! My front row is small, but expanding my definition of connection…expanding my tent, literally expanded my world to include meaningful relationships with people from all parts of the globe and many wonderful experiences with them.  That shy little girl is STILL in me. People don’t believe it because they can’t see it, but she’s there and she’s a great reminder that we are only limited by what we TELL ourselves.

So I ask Oprah’s question again:

WHAT IS LIFE’s DREAM FOR YOU??

My version is WHAT IS GOD’S VISION FOR MY LIFE??

Are you Living It?

Getting there starts with GRATITUDE for your right now. I hope you’ve ALL felt the gratitude I’ve attempted to express for you during The 12 Days of Thanksgiving! On this 12th and final day, I’m sending Love and a prayer that you live life beyond your wildest dreams. If you’d like coaching to help you figure that out, email me to schedule a free consult call. And on the 12th Day of Thanksgiving, your coachng is gifting you: a 20% Discount on my coaching services (excluding the retreat)!! Good until 12/31/17**. 🙌🏾🙌🏾

Enjoy a wonderful week of thankfulness! ♥️♥️

 

Soooooo, for some quirky/krazy reason, I can’t figure out, the video shows on my website in the blog, but won’t transfer to email. I apologize for the confusion! You can view here, https://crenecoach.com/the-12-days-of-thanksgiving-day-11-corrected/
