If I were brave...

If I were brave...what would I do today?

There's a great song by Janna Stansfield that a very special friend, Mark LeBlanc, gave to me. It's called "If I were brave".

We listened to it this morning over breakfast after yoga on the beach and it was the perfect start to our day!

A DAY TO BE BRAVE!

Some people in our group went on a Mexican Adventure (hiking and touring) while the others went on a different kind of Mexican Adventure...SURFING!

OMG...did we have fun! Some of the rolling waves were pretty big and everyone had the most fabulous day!

We had a great talk on the beach as well, about our gifts and talents and how they serve us...and also how our weaknesses serve us in some way and teach us what we need to learn.

I know that I am always "fluttering about" and not really one to sit and have deep conversations sometimes. I like to look at the big picture and don't really want to be bogged down by the details. In the planning of our DIVA Retreat, I took care of the big picture and coming down ahead of time to do a "dry run" of the week while Mel's gifts are in the areas of the details, the quality connection with people, the heart-to-heart work. Mel is extraordinary at connecting and getting to the heart of the matter. Her gifts lie in helping people heal their wounds...while I focus more on helping people see a sense of possibility.

I hope that everyone has had a tremendous week so far.

I can see where we would do things differently next time and what we would repeat again.

For now, I'm just takign a moment to think about the song, "If I were brave" and my 50 dreams, wants and wishes list...

What would I do today if I were brave?

It's a great question....

Mom, I love you. 3 of your 10 + a sister-in-law are here...loving the chance to be together. And, everyone in the group are so amazing!!!! Lastnight we had a salsa lesson and it was awesome! After the salsa music...our family theme song came on...."History Repeating"!!! We wished that our entire family were here to dance! Kate outdid herself!

Love you,
Crystal
