Purpose and passion - I certainly do not know what you want out of life. Heck, I had a hard enough time figuring out what I wanted, and it has taken me a while to do so.
What I do know for sure, is that what ever you want, you certainly have within you all you need to go forward and achieve that. There is the seed of greatness in you! Read that last line over again.
Will achieving what you want require that you get out of your comfort zone? Yes
Will it be easy? No.
Will someone tell you that you are crazy for going after your dreams? Probably
Will you get hurt along the way? Yes - However, the pain of ducking life eventually hurts more.
Is it still worth it? Absolutely!!!
Four years ago, when my mother dropped dead suddenly of a stroke, at the young age of 69, with her music still in her; I promised myself (more…)
Dr. Ellie Drake and Lynette in Alberta, Canada - June 2008.
Brave Heart Women Community is one of those gifts that I am most grateful for, and want to acknowledge at this time during our Thanksgiving weekend - up here in Canada.
The founders, Ellie and Charlie Drake have created an online community for women of all walks of life, to come together, in order to learn, grow and be all they can be! The tools and strategies available here allow a woman to recognize and maximize her potential. This is a community that a woman can step into from wherever she is on her life journey.
I personally have experienced the wonderful privilege and pleasure of being a part of this community, for the past year. Through the community support and the accelerated learning that is available here, I have accomplished much more than I could of imagined a year ago. I am so very grateful!
My first articles, my first e-book, special report, videos, interviews, and so on were all created because of what I have learned here. The inspirational weekly calls, and masterminding sessions available, allow one to stretch out of one’s comfort zone and start to sing one’s own song.
I have gained more self confidence, more clarity around my purpose and passion in life, and I feel more deeply grounded.
When I think of a Brave Heart Women, I see that 21st century woman, one who is intelligent, energetic, on purpose and who wants to be a part of the solution to the world’s current challenges. This online community is for the woman who wants to be inspiration in action!
Here a woman can learn to express herself, say what is important to her, because here a woman is valued for who she is. I have had the privilege this past year, to express myself in a more meaningful way, and to do what it is that brings me a sense of fulfillment and satisfaction.
So… I recommend the following to you: Don’t delay, give yourself a valuable gift, join the community http://www.braveheartwomen.com for FREE, and become a part of a global vision. Put your passion into action and learn to soar higher than you had imagined.
Thank you Ellie and all my Brave Heart Sisters for a phenomenal year!
Your friend and mentor along the way, Lynette

“The true definition of Success is to be happy and fulfilled.”
The last couple of days we have looked at the question of passion…
#1. Discover what you want.
#2. Personify your passion – ask forgiveness for whatever way you have neglected your passion in the past, and move forward.
And today, #3 – Are you making time for your passion or are you letting your passion get distracted? Our culture has often focused on time management in order to get more things done. However there is something a lot more empowering than time management and that is management of your emotions. When I learned the latter my life became more productive and less busy.
If you can get real honest with yourself and take time to sit and reflect on your pattern of being and reacting… you will get clues as to how you handle your emotions. The more grounded you can be, and the more you can let go of the emotions that are no longer serving you - such as feeling overwhelmed, regret, and impatience the more time and energy you will have to spend on your passion.
“The more intensely we feel about an idea or a goal, the more assuredly the idea, buried deep in our subconscious, will direct us along the path to its fulfillment.” Earl NIghtingale (more…)
“Your passion will get quiet if you do not respect it. It will remain quiet and you will not feel it much, until you give it some time and attention. Your passion will not be able to bring you the synchronistic events you need - if you do not pay attention to it. “
Reading the last couple of lines, you may be thinking I am off the deep end here - however give this train of thought a minute…
You may have been told in the past that you can speak to your inner child - your subconscious - your Essence - your higher self in order to start receiving and communicating with your internal world. It is the same concept here…
Now, You can do the same thing with your passion/purpose. Address it as if it was a person - quiet yourself down and spend a few minutes thinking about what you want to say to it - or write to it.
If you do not know what your passion is - tell it that. Like so many other things in life you can have a relationship with your passion. You need to respect it - to hear it, to follow it in order to be your best authentic self.
If you have ignored the signals it gave you in the past - it may in fact have gotten very quiet and no longer gives you those inspirational impulses. It does not mean that you do not have a passion, it is simply lying dormant. It is time to discover it - to awaken it - to re-energize it.

Experiencing pleasurable moments and being truly happy are not synonymous in my mind.
There are many times in years gone by, where what I was experiencing at the moment was very pleasurable. I was spending time with people I love - I was outside with the sun shining brightly - I was eating my favorite foods - I was walking along the beach and so on… You get the picture, as you have had those moments yourself. Yet, years ago, I was not always feeling happy on the inside, during those moments. There were occasions where I felt there was still something missing, though I could not necessarily describe that feeling or label the emotion.
With more observation and greater awareness, I come to see that there are many folks who have a life of pleasure - they are in a good position financially, they spend a lot of time in recreational activities, party a lot with friends, they go out to many events, yet they are not experiencing happiness.
On the other hand I have seen people who are not spending as much time in recreational activities, who are on purpose and doing work they love, who may have devoted their life to a cause that is dear to them. They get a lot done, are acknowledged in their particular field, yet they are not completely happy either.
So what is the secret to this feeling of happiness that we all seek? (more…)
Changing careers, embarking on a new health regime, or thinking about getting into a new relationship can be all things that we desire, yet thinking of change can bring up internal resistance on our part, and we may not be able to explain to ourselves, why. That’s because change is really tied more with how we are Being than what we are Doing.
We are ever expanding growth seeking beings - therefore change calls out to us frequently. Some folks have been able to get to the place where they can embrace change. They now have an attitude of adventure, of fun, and of how can I enhance my life. Whereas others desire new results, yet feel afraid to make a change, and (more…)
Will it be the bed that wins or your desired results?
Daily practice are words that could bring up feelings of guilt for not getting something done, boredom, tediousness, rigidity OR they could bring thoughts of success.
Here it is - an early summer morning and I have been up since about 5:15 a.m.- yet getting up this early has not been a constant practice for the last several months. It is not that I do not want to get up - or that the alarm does not go off - simply put - the bed remains extremely inviting - as the cool morning breeze flows gently through the window, and I am wrapped in a soft cotton sheet.
Yet, I know with the constant practice of getting up this early it will free up time (more…)
