In meditation, we practice starting again every time we get lost in our thoughts and re-focus on the anchor we have chosen, may it be our breath, one of our senses or a mantra we are reciting to ourselves. Every morning we wake up to a new day and start again. Poet and philosopher Mark Nepo writes: “The truth about morning is that it is the small light of the beginning breaking through, again and again. It is a wisdom so large and clear, one which carries us through our lives so quietly and completely that we seldom see it … ” Is renewal energy emerging for you? Has a new beginning been quietly forming waiting for you to emerge as John O’Donohue so eloquently writes in the poem For a New Beginning? What help and support might you need to allow this new beginning to fully flourish? Most people need a structure to help them channel their aspiration, test and gain distance from their big assumptions, and steadily build a new set of ways to bridge the gap between intentions and actions. Consider hiring me as your life coach to guide you through this transition time, so you can gain insights, receive accountability and follow-up in a supportive and transformational personal relationship.

Enjoy the poem Itadakimasu by John Brugaletta: it’s my way of saying thanks to each and every one of you and of expressing gratitude this Thanksgiving. Warmly, Anne-Marie
