Dreaming Big…and a prompt for you!

What is the worst that could happen?

That is something I say to my clients a lot, when they let fear take over and stop them from stepping into their dreams…

Seriously, what is the worst that could happen? Will you quit? Will you settle for less than? Or will you move forward, and try again? Or shift slightly? or change the idea completely? And will you go on?

It’s a good question to ask when you come up against an obstacle, or a fear, whatever is blocking you. Perhaps those blocks are the old stories you’ve been telling yourself for years, or someone else told you that is in the back of your brain. Or are you suffering from Imposter Syndrome? You know, that one that whispers in your ear that you aren’t good enough, or you don’t know enough…

Or you are just going to stay small and settle for the norm ( whatever that normal is for you!).

Why would you not want to dream bigger…to be more fulfilled, richer, healthier, happier? And why not take a risk, try something new, go after that life long dream, or maybe even a brand new dream?

~~~~~~~~~~

Journaling Prompt for you today!

Grab you journal and take some time for yourself to dream bigger.

What is possible for you today, this week, this month? What risk could you take to step into that desire you’ve been thinking about for a long time? DREAM BIG! Could you ask for more money, a healthier body, new students, a new business or a new lover,  time to write, to go on a mountain climbing expedition, what? What are you desiring?

Stand up and take a deep breathe, shake your body for a few seconds ( or more!) and feel into your body and your heart.  Put your hands on your belly and your heart. What is it saying to you when you ask those questions?

Listen deep, my friend… then sit down for 5 -15 minutes and let the words flow out of your fingers, don’t stop, don’t edit, don’t spell check!  

 And then journal about what you can do today, what is ONE thing you can do today to move you toward that desire?

And then notice how you feel, in your body, your heart, your soul? 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I wish for you to live large, take up space, and dream big! Thank you for showing up here with me!

Monday Motivation and a prompt for you!

Hey there! It’s the beginning of the week and I love to start it out strong… with focus, clarity, and some high energy for my work and play projects…

And writing is one of my key ingredients to get clear on the path for the week, or the day, or even the hour. I’ve been sharing more of my journaling and poems with you recently, as well as some prompts, because I love to get you writing and thinking and questioning too, all that you are and do and desire. Words play such a role in how we move through our day, how we talk about ourselves, how we show up.

Playing with words, with descriptions, with your intuitive flow, with games, with lists, whatever is wanted at that time of writing, with some meditation and quiet time and focused time, whether you take 5 minutes, 15 minutes, or an hour before you start the workday, can be liberating, releasing, and clarifying!

Below is a piece I wrote about changing my attitude, releasing some old beliefs, and moving forward.

Prompt for you today!

Take this sentence and finish it, let it flow out…

When I get in a funk, I rearrange_____________________….

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I drag my feet where the rubber meets the road…

How do I kick into high gear?

Heel toe heel toe heel toe

Knees up, arms pumping

Those lazy days can torment me

Instead of listening for the sounds of silence,

The inner request of slowness and rest

I push, I guilt the hell out of myself, 

Make work progress, list those to-do’s

Who’s waiting for me?

Well, shit, only me really, I”m the one that counts

My wheels my gas pedal

My choice

I burn rubber as I take off in my sporty new emotion…

So when I kick into the gear that feels good, I put the top down on that old yellow t-bird and let my hair, although short, fly behind me

Because that’s when I’m ready to ask, to pitch, to do 360’s

That emotion is ready when I have dragged and stopped and breathed and filled up my tank to always overflowing, to best in show

To contented freedom in the playing field

Of my open vista’s desert of potential impossibilities

Then I am as ready for the speed as it is ready for me,

Doesn’t take long to win my own round

Flags waving

Smiling faces, mine, always now, tell the truth, can you dig it?

Right on…

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Share with me what you wrote! and have a super fantabulous week, may you burn some rubber on take off!

 

 

 

 

P.S. I’m excited to bring back my weekly  FB and Instagram Lives! They will be starting up again soon, and we’ll have lively conversations about healing, desire, dance, with journaling prompts and even poetry!  Watch for dates and times! Woo hoo…

And please share this with your friends who would be interested in joining my email community and watching and reading about our gatherings and more… thank you for spreading the love!

Happy Solstice Blessings to you…

Happy Solstice Blessings to you…I know a few days late but I’m still reeling in the light…

It is time for the light, the light within and the light outside of ourselves! We want to live lit up, to be Illuminated, to shine our light! Illumination, baby!

And we can spread that light… the more we shine, the more we inspire others. The trickle-down effect… everyone makes a difference. You, you make a difference…

It’s time for surrounding yourself with others who are lit up, and I mean energetically, spiritually, emotionally, physically. It’s inspiring to share that kind of energy, passion, creative juices. We find meaning on our path the more it is lit up, the more clarity we have, the more time we take to pay attention and take action toward our dreams. Sometimes those new paths create uncertainty, which is also a state of variety, a basic human need! Tis the season!

Now is also time for nurturing ourselves, giving ourselves sustenance, on so many levels, and so we can let go of the darkness, the fears that have been holding us back…time to step into our desires, build up our confidence and belief in our dreams, and ask for what we are desiring. A big time for pleasure… fun… feeling great…

***Can you journal about those ideas? What words come to mind

when you think about pleasure, dreams, taking action…Where are you at in your life, with moving forward into more of your desires, your dreams, visions of work, of art, of creating, of abundance?

**If you are you wanting more action, wanting help with clarifying what steps to take next, I’m inviting you to schedule in that From Chaos to Creativity free call with me and see if coaching with me is your next step toward your abundance, toward living lit up everyday…

Click here and put us on your calendar.,.. that is a great first step!

May this season bring you more joy and pleasure…thank you for being here with me on our journey!

Morning Movement and some journaling prompts for you!

(Journaling prompts today!)

Morning Movement…

This morning, as everyday, I get up about 5 am. My Rosie dog is a kisser and a loving pup in the morning so I always get up laughing with her and my man (of course!) Jeff…that’s a great way to start every day, right?

It’s hot now, here in the desert, with temps soaring over 110 degrees daily, so early morning is the best time to go outside, and you know me, I have to MOVE in the am! Either before or after journaling…Always kickstarting my day either with a run, walk, bike, a dance around my kitchen, or dog play!  ( My workout comes later in the day usually!) This morning I decided to go for a 7 am swim, a place of quiet, alone time, and make it a moving meditation for me. Peaceful, refreshing, and body goodness!

An important factor in my everyday life, work and pleasure, so I can show up fully, be present in my body, and feel alive!

How do you start your day? Do you give yourself YOU time everyday? Morning or night? I love to ask you questions, don’t I?!

I had a great afternoon chat with many of my dancers from around the globe yesterday, and I asked them to journal too! Giving prompts to guide them into reflections about how they present themselves to the world and more. Profound words come when you give yourself time to write, when you allow yourself to be guided, when you look at something from a different viewpoint.

That is something I am really good at doing, as a leader, a teacher, a guide, a coach, to help you open up to what is inside and what you want to change, how to move forward, setting intentions, taking action and being accountable for your choices! Oh yeah, that is good stuff…

This is the first poem I read to my gathering, from my Breaking Down the Walls poetry book!

Tribal Revelations The power of the dance moves through me, often consuming me,as I watch the dancers.The new ideas I have presented are taking shapein their bodies and their minds.Transformation is powerful.Revelations are powerful.I am newly awestruck each time I teachThe Power of Tribal.Trusting, they move freely, looking inward and moving outward.The dance truly comes from within,and shows the flowing spirit.Freedom.Freedom within structure.Creative adventures, with the passing moments of rejuvenation,artistic snippets of the larger vision.Hanging on to the power from within to adopt it,permanently,the dancers glisten both from the heat of the movementand the fire of their own passion.Passion is powerful.Movement is powerful,recognition of all of that is empowering.That is what I want to see.They feed off of each other as they music builds,they explode within the safety of the sacred circle,the space that is their home for the few short but ecstatic hoursof self-revelation and bliss.

~~~~~

NOW it is your turn! Journal and share! Journaling prompts today!

Allow the flow of words without editing, from the Body to the Page ( my new monthly membership coming soon!)

…there is magic in that release…and you usually surprise yourself when you do take the time!

What is fun for you? Do you know? What makes you feel alive? What tingles your skin, quickens your heart, pushes you to the edge? What activities bring you joy? Make some lists! Imagine you are talking to your artform (dancing, painting, cooking, writing, coaching, whatever!)… tell it what you are bringing to it, to your practice with it. Impress it with all that you are and how you do your creative work! Woo hoo… this is juicy!

Now take a line or three from my poem up above, and use that as a starting point for a short poem or story from you!

Share with me what you write! And enjoy your time…

~~~~~~~~~~~

PSSSSTT…By the way, I am developing my new writing program for you which will start this summer!

Make a move, my friend!

I love you,

Heart and Hustle with Authentic Expression Coach, Samantha Laycock, Episode #121

Heart and Hustle: Visionary Healers, Movers, and Shakers, with your host, Paulette Rees-Denis, and my guest, Authentic Expression Coach, Samantha Laycock, Episode #121

Meet Samantha Laycock, from Canada, a writer, a blogger, a sexual assault survivor, and a woman who made changes in her life to stand in her story! This is profound stuff, my friend, as she learned to share her story after 11 years of silence. Forget living with a secret, we can’t do that, right?

This is how she created her blog to help others overcome their past. Being vulnerable, and changing from being broken to claiming self-love and then to turn the story around to share with others.

This is about using words for empowerment, and sharing words is more than a one-way street, and turns into a grieving process to inspiration and support and moving forward.

Change your words and change your life!

View and listen and tell us what you think:

https://vimeo.com/557765680

Don’t ever let anyone stop you from sharing your story!
Whoa! Good stuff, right?

More about Samantha!

Samantha is the owner and creator of Samantha Laycock Blogging.  An Authentic Expression Coach for women ready to share their stories and heal from their past.  She 35 years old, a mother of 3, a wife of 15 years, a sexual assault survivor, and a big advocate for sharing your story through blogging.

Today a place of beauty ( and some journaling prompts)

Hello my friend!                                                                     (Journaling prompts today!)

In my early morning reverie, I was thinking of my life as a creative, constantly evolving and revolving, my circular spirally energy of creation. This is something I evoke and invoke in all I do, all I be, all I am, to live in a place of beauty, my idea of beauty. To create from that pure energy, in all I do and be. And this is how I show up in my world, and how the world shows up to me.

This has always been a desired necessity for me, to be surrounded by beauty, that everything I have is beautiful, from my silverware, dishes, to the art in my house, to my garden, to the vase of fresh flowers, to those around me. What and who give me pleasure and inspiration. For me that is most often visually, as I am a very visual person, that being my strongest sense.

And I must love it. Right? When I shop, I have to love something to buy it. If I don’t love it, why bother? I don’t want extraneous things in my life that I have no emotion for, or don’t care about. That’s a good way to pair down your closet, or the items in your home. What is it that Marie Kondo always asks, Does it bring you joy? I like to ask if it is a “Hell yeah” or a “hell no”!

When you are connected to your joy and passion and loves, and you listen in to yourself, you know what is right for you, and what you want to surround yourself with. That’s one reason I go out early morning for my run, because where I live is soooo beautiful that I am surrounded by this place of beauty and I place myself right in it every day. I choose to be here and be in it, and that lights me up.

It also fills me with deep gratitude, for the life I have, for my body, my love, my work, the awesomeness of this planet, the creatures, the people, all the possibilities. To be the possibilitarian is to be open to all that one can be.

Life is precious and I want to be lit up, on fire with my own creativity, to live full-on, and to walk in beauty, every day.  I stay in alignment with my values, beliefs, desires. I become a magnet to even more beauty, abundance, creativity! Then I can share what I do with others, whether that be through my creativity coaching, my writing, my dance, my music, my cooking. That loving creative energy continues full circle.

~~~~~

Journaling prompts today!

So I have a few journaling prompts for you today. I love asking you questions! When you sit down and give yourself time to chat on paper, to reflect and to also allow the flow of words without editing…there is magic in that release…and you usually surprise yourself when you do take the time!

What is beautiful to you, dear one? How do you put yourself in a place of beauty? Or do you? What is your strongest sense? Touch, Hearing, Seeing, Tasting, SmellAnd what about that sense brings you pleasure? and why?

Here are 3 words to put into a short piece of writing, however they seem to fit ( again with out thinking too hard! just write! for at least 5 minutes…)

BeautyAromaRun

Share with me what you write! And enjoy your time…

~~~~~~~~~~~

PSSSSTT…By the way, I am developing my new writing program for you which will start this summer!

Today, open your eyes in a different way, and put yourself in a place of beauty!

Heart and Hustle: with GC tribal bellydancer and teacher, Richelle Spencer, #120

Heart and Hustle: Visionary Healers, Movers, and Shakers,

with your host, Paulette Rees-Denis,

and my guest today, GC tribal bellydancer and teacher, Richelle Spencer, #120

How wonderful and refreshing to have this dynamic woman on my show this week, Richelle Spencer, from the west coast of Australia, a little town called Fremantle which I totally love! She has been studying dance with me for several years, is one of me certified teachers and a master teacher, plus is part of my own Global Caravan Dance Company, and may I just add, she is a force to be reckoned with!

A cancer survivor, a mother, a teacher, a healer, Richelle is deeply connected with her divine feminine, as a healing spirit, a giver of inspiration, a leader of women, and a super creative. I think you will really enjoy our conversation today…

We talk about the dance as a lifestyle, and the utmost importance is self-care, and daily practices, which I always talk about! We talk about words, and the words some use to describe themselves. We talk about the importance of being a teacher with mindfulness, and how we impart knowledge and skills on our students! We talk about being in the moment, and the experience of dancing in that kind of moment.

a lovely conversation, enjoy, my friend, and let us know what you think!

Click below…

well??? what ‘cha think? I so hope that this gave you some good brain, body, and spirit fuel… I love sharing these conversations with you… until next time…

More about Richelle:

Hi, I am Richelle Spencer from Fremantle Western Australia; my absolute passion is Global Caravan Dance.

It truly defines ’me’ and my life.  It’s so healing, ritualistic, deeply connective & brings me so much joy.  This dance is so much more than steps….

it’s a lifestyle.

It’s about the journey…

…destination unknown….

Its more than just being drawn & collecting the accoutrements of the dance the gorgeous colourful costuming, jewellery, artifacts (which is so fun and a huge part of who we are and what we do…we become beautiful bower birds collecting treasures that make our hearts happy and our bodies gorgeously adorned)…….

Its about sharing sistahood, making music & magic, co-creating art, uniting woman of all cultures races, shapes & sizes, sharing and weaving together the phases of the divine feminine: the dreamy, bold, maiden the nurturing, patient, mother, the powerful, transitioning, enchantress and the wise, sacred, crone…. transitioning, accepting and standing in our power.

When we gather and dance these earthy moves that our ancestors did before us, which have such beautiful sacred geometry crafted into them, we can feel the sense of connection…. of community… of tribe….

We begin, we end, each dance class in circle, a safe, supportive place of equality, so uplifting, bringing joy, encouragement and creating positive energy. We dance together sharing a common vocabulary of moves that can be danced improvisationally by following the cues of the leader. Giving into ego, being immersed in the moment, allowing flow, synchronicity and joy to shine through. We dance for each other, showing support, holding space, and feeling beautiful.

I am blessed to teach many different classes regularly at Chakra Angel studio in Fremantle from Tribal Grooves, to GC beginners, intermediate, advanced and troupe.

I enjoy performing with my dance troupes at local events and have created Dance Sanctuary ~ monthly workshops for women, focusing on dance as Ritual, studying in depth the goddess archetypes, inviting women to step into their power and walk or dance the earth like the goddess they are.

I also co-facilitate Red Tent Temple: a place where we gather on the new moon to honour ourselves, each other & the natural cycles and set our intentions for the new lunar month.

I feel my calling is to be a conduit: assisting to connect women, speaking their language, assisting them to find themselves, returning to the sacred feminine & their own divinity, creating sisterhood built on love and trust. 

Paulette’s dream was to connect women all over the world together: “hand to hand, hip to hip, heart to heart” sharing the glory of the dance with the stomping feet, swaying hips, shimmying body kinda moves that totally fill & fuel our bodies, minds and spirits.

This is why I teach GCTB style… why I followed my heart.. followed my dreams… studied hard….and now have a dance family that spans the globe. 

When women hold each other with respect, with love with support it opens doorways, pathways and surprises us with glorious, creative possibilities.

Women have been suppressed by the masculine for too long and I acknowledge that we all need to maintain a healthy balance within our masculine & feminine energy… so I ask these gorgeous women to search deep into their hearts and souls to find what they truly desire, to step into their power, into their hearts and do whatever makes them feel truly happy.

Dress in what makes you feel beautiful, wear the red lipstick, wear the gorgeous ethnic jewellery, layer up all the colourful mished mashed patterned clothes to cover your curvaceous bodies, adorn yourself with scarves, bindi’s, flowers, feathers…. whatever makes you feel amazing, show us your passionate, determined soul and most importantly shine your light bright.

Dance makes me happy, fills my heart with love & joy, grounds me to Mumma earth & connects me to other beautiful like-minded soul sistas. 

Yours in dance Richelle xxx

Connection with self…

Got a journal ready? Grab a pen too…I’ve got a couple of writing prompts for you today!I feel strongest and most connected to my creative self when….

I spend time taking time, for myself

That’s self-care at its best,  for me it’s an early morning set of meditation, and getting outside to welcome the day,

 often listening to an inspirational book or my favorite podcasts, which then lead to some great creative downloads.

That’s like a moving meditation for me.

Then, journaling is a massive form of clarity, often a release like therapy, to allow the flow of more downloads, and time to write out those ideas…before the action takes place…sometimes it is just a jumble of words, sometimes a to do list, but the more I journal, the more connected I feel to myself and my desires. My truth, my values.

When the words flow through me they often become poetry…and I love using prompts to get those juices going…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

**So today I have a few prompts for you!**

Get your journals out and see what comes through you, and share with me!

Fill in the blanks! Write for at least 3-5 minutes without picking up the pen, or editing, or spell checking… Allow the free flow…

I feel most connected to myself when_______________________________

What I love about myself today is ________________________________

Now, below are 3 words, and use the words anyway you want in a short piece, a story, a poem, something wacky!

5 minutes… Go!

And here is a little free flow writing to share with you too!
Enjoy…

Of course I would pick the work undulation, as a bellydancer…

Because the words flow through me just like movement flow through me,

Undulating like ocean waves slamming violently into and out of me,

Or like the river currents, whipping around obstacles in its path, 

fast and unpredictable,

Or as a creek trickling over the rocks, the smoothness, often, stillness, 

of lightly touching the thoughts

Or even just reflecting back to me, as a mirror.

Not often asking if that is what I truly meant, 

because it always is,

When the words ride my own undulating  wave, 

I trust the flow, the action, writing voraciously to hurry and get it all down, 

So as not to miss a thought. The undulation of the belly, 

like birthing a child, moves in and out and up and down, 

With practice and patience, and strength and power, 

Connecting with my source, my core, and my own, place of fertility,

The water breaks free as the words are born, fluttering out, 

whether they are full-bodied, or in an isolated torso ripple

Of creation.

~~~~~~~~~

Enjoy your day, enjoy taking some time for yourself, taking care of yourself, and enjoy your words!
