Stepping out into my power today! Going to host 'office hours' and try to bring in some clients!!

Going to put myself out there into the world and stir the pot. Got an office space, so why not use it? Instead of 'waiting' for appointments to happen out of the blue, I am going to be holding hours today in the space. Bringing my new crystal singing bowls and all my tuning forks, drum, etc...

I even created an event on FB etc to try and get the word out.
It's all about intention, right?

Trying hard not to fall into the death spiral of worry and angst of looking at bills vs. the bank acct. So I figured that some positive action might be called for. It's always easier to say it than to DO it... so I have to be willing to step into this new life I am creating and OWN it.

Send me good juju!
...got extra spicy chai this morning to give me a boost!!

May you be pleasantly surprised once this day is done. May it be all that you've hoped for and more.

Best of luck, and good for you for taking action!

mondays & tuesdays. I think it's just important to start showing up and making sure my presence is there, then I can be more in tune with ding the work, rather than sitting at home waiting for the phone to ring...

Maybe a few posters of various people using the various instruments up on your walls.

Good Luck for the rest of the week!👍

Now, enjoy the day you are making. Don't let it bog you down with the minute of what you are doing.

(I am always guilty of this. I get so busy with everything that I never stop and just enjoy what I am doing. Don't be my stupid ass. Have fun with it!)
