Hiya Herd,
Do you have a frenemy? You know, a love/hate relationship with someone or something?
I do and her name is Contrast.
Contrast shows up for me in things I dislike such as this ridiculous, you’ve-got-to-be-kidding-me cold snap this week.
Sometimes, it feels like Contrast won’t leave me the eff alone, but when I take a step back, I can appreciate her.
Why?
Contrast shows me what I desire by giving me what I don’t want.
I don’t like the cold. I’ve tolerated it my entire life. On Monday while running around NYC in sub degree temps, I decided that I am through with tolerating.
Now, this change won’t be overnight, but when our kids have graduated, we are going to explore warmer options. Maybe that means becoming snowbirds with super flexible jobs or just changing careers and lifestyles altogether.
But I am DONE dressing for the tundra in March.
And I have Contrast to thank for that.
I feel really positive about this decision. I’ll even go so far as to say I have a healthy dose of anticipation around this next adventure that is still a couple of years away in the making. Will it be the Carolinas? Or Southern California? Hell, maybe our next adventure awaits us in a different country altogether.
To be clear, contrast doesn’t show up to mess with you although it can seem that way in the moment. Like when I couldn’t feel my face, or hands, or feet on Monday.
It simply helps give you direction to make decisions.
In essence, it’s a really effective tool for creating the life you want.
What’s your contrast showing you?
Maybe it’s that you are ready for a career change (stay tuned for our upcoming April 26th Sister Talk with Cynthia Johnson of Elephant In The Room Design for inspiration!) or a new look.
Whatever it is, pay attention. Take note. And adjust your sails accordingly.
On March 31st at 7pm, we teach how to use the contrast in your life to manifest your desires in Get Inspired: Writing for Clarity Workshop. It’s virtual and you can register here.
With love and warmer days to come,
Carolyn
