Beautiful prose by Jeff Foster for all the Warrior Mums today on Mothers Day

HOW I BECAME A WARRIOR

Once, I ran from fear
so fear controlled me.
Until I learned to hold fear like a newborn.
Listen to it, but not give in.
Honour it, but not worship it.
Fear could not stop me anymore.
I walked with courage into the storm.
I still have fear,
but it does not have me.

Once, I was ashamed of who I was.
I invited shame into my heart.
I let it burn.
It told me, "I am only trying
to protect your vulnerability".
I thanked shame dearly,
and stepped into life anyway,
unashamed, with shame as a lover.

Once, I had great sadness
buried deep inside.
I invited it to come out and play.
I wept oceans. My tear ducts ran dry.
And I found joy right there.
Right at the core of my sorrow.
It was heartbreak that taught me how to love.

Once, I had anxiety.
A mind that wouldn't stop.
Thoughts that wouldn't be silent.
So I stopped trying to silence them.
And I dropped out of the mind,
and into the Earth.
Into the mud.
Where I was held strong
like a tree, unshakeable, safe.

Once, anger burned in the depths.
I called anger into the light of myself.
I felt its shocking power.
I let my heart pound and my blood boil.
Listened to it, finally.
And it screamed, "Respect yourself fiercely now!".
"Speak your truth with passion!".
"Say no when you mean no!".
"Walk your path with courage!".
"Let no one speak for you!"
Anger became an honest friend.
A truthful guide.
A beautiful wild child.

Once, loneliness cut deep.
I tried to distract and numb myself.
Ran to people and places and things.
Even pretended I was "happy".
But soon I could not run anymore.
And I tumbled into the heart of loneliness.
And I died and was reborn
into an exquisite solitude and stillness.
That connected me to all things.
So I was not lonely, but alone with All Life.
My heart One with all other hearts.

Once, I ran from difficult feelings.
Now, they are my advisors, confidants, friends,
and they all have a home in me,
and they all belong and have dignity.
I am sensitive, soft, fragile,
my arms wrapped around all my inner children.
And in my sensitivity, power.
In my fragility, an unshakeable Presence.
In the depths of my wounds,
in what I had named “darkness”,
I found a blazing Light
that guides me now in battle.

I became a warrior
when I turned towards myself.
And started listening.
- Jeff Foster

Melissa Cadell is a Certified Money Coach (CMC)® with decades of financial advising experience where she has witnessed the knock-on effect of poor money attitudes and behaviours on financial lifestyles of her clients. With a deep interest in the human condition, philosophy, and sociology she was searching for a reputable respected qualification to enhance her financial advising skills, to then realize the learnings garnered from the Money Coaching Institute, powerfully stand strong on their own . As a Certified Money Coach, Melissa has the skills to work deeply with clients, to the extent they allow and address those emotions and patterns that are stopping them from being personally and financially resilient, confident, and happy.

“Growing up I enjoyed a comfortable family life with little knowledge of or concern for money. Several decades later, now with a Masters in Financial planning and twenty years of Financial Advising experience I have seen how money for some can wield power and confidence, others a sense of peace and happiness and for others deep shame, disregard and despondency. Money is central to how we provide for those we love and care about, yet there is much secrecy and mystery shrouded around it. Personally, I think this is a deliberate play to keep money matters complicated, however we also need to look at our own behaviours toward money, where did it stem from, call it out and then move forward.”

Melissa says, “I have a long held deep interest in human behaviour, spiritual and financial matters. I have the ability to connect the dots in all of these areas which are highly related so we can see the beauty and possibility that exists in your life and know you are supported wherever you may be on your journey. I enjoy nothing more than watching my clients become personally and financially resilient, confident, and happy.”

Melissa’s clients are strong women who want to enjoy their life and just lack some of the knowledge and confidence they need to live financially confident.

So whether you are newly single, or entering coupledom, experiencing a career change, are expecting a windfall, or perhaps you are finally an empty nester, I understand where you are at and can feel the excitement when change is necessary.

As a behavioural Money Coach, Melissa is a beacon of hope and support to those who have the desire to become financially strong and be powerful.

Feeling gratitude having just worked with some teens who were gifted some behavioural money coaching session by their parents so they can learn to get their financial affairs in order should they receive an inheritance.

It was life changing to them and I find I often walk away from these sessions in awe of human behaviour and how importance it is to share the right information with our kids.

If you would like to do likewise and gift to your teens or young adults, don't delay, otherwise they may pick up your bad money habits!! Assuming of course you have bad money habits, like "more days than money towards the end of the fortnight", perhaps??

So many take outs from this remarkable TED Talk by Caroline McHugh, 14 million views from 9 years ago.

Enjoy "The Art of Being Yourself"

You are not your thoughts, your feekings, what you have, what you do, what you love or who loves you.

Those of us who have trancended all those judgements we have placed on ourselves, well, we know why we are here and we know that " we can" and importantly we never feel superfluous.

(And I love her outfit, quite of the Matrix)

If you wish to work with Caroline go to her website...

As we welcome the new year, make sure your new intentions align with your values and that those values completely resonate down to the very core of who you are.

Articulate your intentions down to the nitty gritty as if they have been achieved and you won't be finished articulating your goals until you cry or belly laugh like a child.

How? Work on the imagery and language. Do the research, find pictures that support the new goal.

Keeping writing in the present tense as if they goals are achieved.

Write about how you feel, what can you see, smell, taste? Who is with you? What are you wearing? What are your hobbies? How do you spend your time? Write it all down.

Capture your feeling of success! You made it! You achieved what you set out to do!!

Now... I dare you to read out loud your intention at the start and end of the day.. And then try to forget or procrastinate about your goal.

Let me know how you go?

Try a small goal if you like?

(For instance, one of my values is resilience, right now I am suffering greatly with a couple of my knuckles on my left hand starting to calcify, its also stopping me from playing the guitar, one of my key interests, I can spend hours doing in one sitting!

"I'm sitting here with my vintage Maton Mini guitar, a gift to me for sticking with my health intentions. She is a handmade 6 string wonder and her sound deeply resonates. She is beautiful. As a Mini, I can finally play bar chords and jamming with the Jones Sloanes is so much MORE fun. I can laugh now! However the journey continues as every morning and night I take prescirbed GFD and GFC supplements. I use a moxibustion stick to heat up my knuckles every morning and as the stick cools off I jump into yoga stretches, thump chinese medicine points to support my kidneys. Finding more energy and resilience, I feel blessed to have used my noggin to find a solution that resonates with me and that I invested in solutions for myself. After all, if it is to be it is always up to me")

I had a sneak preview of Sarah Wilson's (I Quit Sugar fame) podcast of sharing her experience engaging with a global investment giant, to set up sustainable investment solution for herself and the general market. I had to laugh when she said she is "just a creative"; and yet look at all that she has achieved!!

I was impressed with how down to earth she is and humble despite her many business successes.

If you listen carefully she explains what she did with the monies from the sale of her business and I am so inspired that despite her use of "laymans terms" she was able to have her financial professional understand her passion so she was able to set herself up congruent to her concern about the environment.

Oh and like me she doesn't drive a car for the environment!! Go girl.

This is general advice only and the purpose of this share is to inspire. I am not recommending this brand either way, thats for you to decide with your Financial Adviser.

Enjoy

Such a pleasure chatting with Rachel Smith, author, speaker, columnist, media commentator and entrepreneur. Now based in the UK, Rachel works in high profile public strategy roles for governments and corporates in the UK, Australia and New Zealand.

I caught up with Rachel to discuss one of her recent books UnderSpent, so grab a coffee or glass of vino. We had so much fun chatting, so allow yourself 50 minutes and listen on your daily walk or the commute.

UnderSpent really speaks to those of who have considered cutting back, reducing our spend, decluttering and boosting our savings with not knowing where to start.

And be sure to grab a copy of her book from Amazon; less than $3.99 for kindle and $12.47 for hard copy.
