Many have gone forth to pave the way and this means not only that it can be done, but they helped to make it easier. Think about an athlete who wants to break a record, someone is behind them following them to set new records all the time. This is to show it can be done and keep improving on the method to accomplish obtaining that goal that record.
Kathleen has been on a journey of self-discovery and finding inner strength. At times she got off the path, took detours. Made some stops that lasted too long in a pit hole that was not serving her highest best self. She had earth shattering times that rocked her to her core. At times it seemed like life threw ice cold water on her to shift her perception of how she saw a person or situation. She gives gratitude for all of her experiences because it made her who she is, which gave her the courage to move forward and to help others do the same.
You are not alone; support is all around you. Most important that support is inside you. As Glenda, the good witch in the Wizard of Oz said to Dorothy "You always had the power, my dear, you just had to learn it for yourself."
Are you ready to unleash the power inside you?
Are you ready to become the hero you were born to be?
The time is now!
Let's play this Game and SHIFT to the next level together.
