Life Lesson for Women #1

Love yourself first and everything else falls into line.

Lucille Ball

Life Lesson #1:

Take Stock of Your Life

You have a choice --- You can create a life you LOVE.

The first step in doing this is to look back over your life, not with a critical eye, but rather to discover the connecting thread that gives your life rhythm and meaning. In recalling our lives we re-collect ourselves. We gather together our forgotten priorities and passions.

We all have them. Even if we live the most satisfying life each of us pushes aside a passion or two to keep balance. We put them aside with the hopes of being able to focus on them at another time when life isn’t so busy or full.

My list of forgotten passions…

Creative pursuits: Life got in the way the last few months. I haven’t had any time to focus on connecting to myself in a creative way. I feel rejuvenated when I can create something beautiful. I vow to take this time for myself.

Connecting with other women: Gathering with a group of women who have a passion for celebration, self-growth, and sharing is a necessity for me. I vow to take this time for myself.

Journaling: I would love to learn techniques for art journaling. This is a practice that I hope to begin implementing more. Art journaling is a combination of self reflection and creativity. Both are vital for me to feel balanced. I vow to take this time for myself.

Spending time in Nature: I love celebrating the joys that each season has to offer.

Spring: A season of growth

Summer: A season of activity

Fall: A season of gratitude

Winter: A season of reflection

I vow to take time this time for myself.

What are your forgotten passions?

LOVE this!

The 13 Feminine Principles of Leadership

Marta Maria Marraccini, M.A.

Embodied presence – Bringing all of one's Self to the moment. Holding clarity, focus, and presence while maintaining your “YOUness”.

Self-authority – You are empowered to hold a centered and balanced position of authority within the self - knowing you define you and no one else gets to. You have the right and authority to take action based on your needs, ideas, desires, dreams, and more.

Open to receiving and being with the mystery – Embracing the gifts in life. Knowing good things will come your way and allowing yourself to see and accept them. You deserve it simply because you are you.

Integrity – Be consistent with your actions, behaviors, and communication. Be accountable for your actions or non-action. Know you are responsible for your creations in the world and we all have the ability to respond. Allow yourself to see the overview of a situation and respond with your intuitive sense of honesty and truth. Be your word and your word becomes gold.

Confidence – A trust filled relationship with yourself, your skill set, and your wisdom. Allowing yourself to lead from your inner strength.

Leadership with love – Holding a balanced position of leadership with compassion and generating a nurturing environment. Generate a co-created leadership, knowing we are all open to our unique path with the ability to shine.

Individual uniqueness – Willing to radiate your “YOUness”. You are one of a kind and that is a celebration. Allowing you to celebrate you is accepting the gift you are to all of us.

Balanced and nurturing self care – Giving yourself permission to take care of yourself on all levels: physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. Knowing, it is an act of self love.

Intuition – Utilizing your instinctual knowing and deep wisdom.

Accepting self and others – Self acceptance is embracing the beauty and all aspects of you. You are able to embrace both the dark and light sides of self and humanity while navigating both when needed. The light, the dark, the continuous integration.

Commitment- Be willing to commit to your vision and goals. Allow yourself to be realistic with time lines, implementation, personal strengths, and follow through.

Clear communication – Being willing and having the skill set necessary to speak lovingly to your needs, desires, boundaries, goals, vision, and business.

Purify and Release – Be willing to let go. Change can be empowering. Having the ability to recognize when it's time to release what no longer serves you, your creation, or your work.
