my audience

wow. today is all about the venting and blabbing....

as i looked at my last newsletter, i wondered who is my audience? who do i want to send and offer my knowledge and tools? i honestly believe i still don't know, but i'm okay with that right now. however, i know one of the things to have a successful business is to know your audience/population that you're serving. so i guess i need to reevaluate. cool! i'm glad i realized this now. i'm happy for myself that i came to this conclusion. i'm not judging or beating myself up. in fact, i think i want to look back at some old notes from classes i took about this subject. review and rekindle the mind, body and soul.

i remember from my holistic coaching program, my life's purpose: i am love and acceptance. perhaps i have new one brewing: i am contribution, inspiration, and joy!

hey, now that feels good. let's do more: i am connection and integration. well, that's actually the first line of my mission statement. but that still counts because it's true!

i am compassion and abundance. that one doesn't feel as true to me, and it may be the "abundance". I associate this word with money too much, even though i know deep down that's not what its all about. but, hey, something to inquire within.

so this was a great vent because i know now i won't feel the need to rush getting my march newsletter out. this year has been a lot about self-evaluation, self-inquiry and self-care. i'm more present with myself, and i hope this will guide me in connecting and attracting MY audience.

Update: Proactive with my biz

So I feel very productive as I will get my updated website going before Sept 20, and I contacted the Student Coordinator at my massage school to set up an appointment!  Yiiippee! PROGRESS! Love it! I'm celebrating my progress so far, which is so important to do.  In the past, I always felt like I had to do these ginormous tasks to feel a sense of accomplishment, when really it's those little things that are really huge. 

I've also been feeling the shift in the cosmos, as mercury is still in retrograde, I can feel "off".  But this time I feel more clear and motivated than I ever have been.  It's doing those uncomfortable things, which is what makes it all clear.  I've been doing the things--that I normally would complain and bitch about--with more enthusiasm and joy.  I've also been very aware of my use of language so I can get closer to what I want.  Instead of saying, "I want this or that, but I can't have it because I need this or that", I say "I have it" or "I am it".  In other words, I'm working on eliminating the "lack of" out of my language/vocabulary/statements.  I value the knowledge I have, and I share it with others.  I am inspiration, joy and abundance.  I am perfect just the way I am.

One of my 2010 Declarations

I will leverage my debt in a healthy way.

I need to remind myself and say this to myself as much as possible.  That I AM doing it. It IS happening.  What does a "healthy way" look like?  I will trust in my myself that money is always coming my way.  I will be compassionate towards myself no matter what.  I will appreciate myself even when times are tough, and be gentle with myself and say, "I am doing the best I can, and I am doing a great job." I want to create more abundance in clientele for my yoga and massage practice. 

I am love, acceptance and compassion. 

More and more....

It's what I want.  abundance in all that i am passionate about, love and share.  i have so much already, but there's always more, more, MORE! so how do i meditate on this? i want to spend time each day or night creating this abundance. i will do it through yoga, visualization, meditation, and community by sharing it with others in my life.  keep it alive. fresh. vibrant. free.  i have so much to offer others it's going to burst with fruit flavor (yep, i just had a thought about juicy fruit gum)! sometimes my body wants to act right now in the moment. but it's not always possible so i need to come back to the earth and stay grounded in the present.  it's okay because i will do it. just do it! and receive more and more and more.
