Paying Tribute Part 7- Michelle Phillips

I embarked on new venture that began back in July-July 27th to be exact.  It is funny how the universe worked in my favor and it was meant to be. Confirmed to me that all is time and space.  I ran across a woman by the name of Michelle Phillips on face book. Michelle is a celebrity makeup artist and life coach. She also has a book that just got released called, The Beauty Blueprint and her own radio show on Hay House Radio.    I started to respond to some of her face book posts and to my amazement she actually took the time to respond to me. Not just a yes, no or thank you, but really took the time to respond. I was amazed, but also felt a connection to someone that I hardly even knew at that time.  

I responded to one of her face book posts on affirmations, I sent her my story through e mail, and Michelle responded again with a sincere message and asked me if I would like to join her with a small group of women in her summer coaching series. It was at this moment in time that my life changed all because of someone who cared enough to take the time to say-You Matter-And I Want to Help You.

Michelle is one of my angels. Michelle has such a big heart and she sees the best in everyone.  Michelle has been my continued supporter and strength over these past seven months.  Michelle has provided me with a safe forum to be able to accomplish things I never thought were possible. She helped me to challenge my beliefs about myself and she believed in my abilities. Michelle has supported me through the process of confronting things about myself and in my life that I had a hard time facing at times.   Michelle inspired me to take ACTION on things in my life which lead to results.

Michelle introduced me to Doreen Virtue's Angel Cards in the Coaching Circle, so in her honor, I asked the cards tonight and you will never believe what card I picked- and this is so right on-ANSWERED PRAYER.  Michelle is one of my answered prayers.  She came into my life in an unexpected way and who would of thought my prayers would be answered through the power of the face book world. A new opportunity for me was lead by Michelle and it has opened up doors for me I could never have imagined, along with a continued friendship.  I feel so blessed that Michelle is in my life. Michelle is one special individual and I thank her from the bottom of my heart.

Coaching Circle Thoughts

Ladies,

I came to the realization that this Coaching Circle is coming to a close-somewhat-I know Michelle said we would stay in touch monthly for a while longer.  This is something that I am sad and anxious about, yet I feel a sense of achievement and excitement at the same time. I feel so grateful to be a part of this circle.

I learned so much from each of you in this circle.  I thank you for allowing me into your lives and opening up yourselves to me.  You are such a powerful support group for me and amazing individuals. You been there for me through words of honesty,  support, encouragement, and to celebrate of all of my achievements. I have had the opportunity to do the same back to all of you.   The process has changed my life for the better. Words can not express how grateful I am for this experience.

I have learned so much from being a part of the Coaching Circle and here is just a few things that popped into my mind:

That it is OK to be vulnerable and open up myself to others.  When you open up to others and ask for support you not only learn more about yourself, you also can learn from other people's experiences.

That it is OK to speak my truth out of love for myself and not the fear of what if!

To trust that the universe will take care of me. So instead of reacting I need to let go and let things fall where they are going to fall.

To love myself.  To take care of myself first and know that I can not carry the burdens of others.

To trust that I am a competent person and I am able to do anything I put my mind to.

To know that it is OK for me to make mistakes, to not beat myself up over things, and to learn from every situation I encounter in life. Every experience is a lesson.

To believe that every situation that has occurred in my life has happened for a reason and in the midst of the most chaotic situations in life, these are the times to look back on and with great pride and say that it only made me stronger.

To not only speak of things that I want to see happen in my life, but to take ACTION. Action is what gives me what I deserve in life.

I love this one, To lead by example :)

That I will look back on the past six months to a year and say AHA-so that is why this is happening. Love those Aha Moments!

Whew!!! I feel a sense of achievement :)

I am looking forward to finally meeting Michelle and some of you in November at the I Can Do It Conference. It will be a time to connect face to face finally, give lots of hugs and to celebrate the new friendships that have been formed. I am also looking forward to staying in touch with each of you.

Love you all!
