				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>Circle of Sisters</h3>
<p><em><strong>By Kami Katherine Guildner</strong></em></p>
<p>Welcome to our circle Sister,</p>
<p>For in humanity we have a role.</p>
<p>Our threads of lives have woven to connect our kindred souls.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Our paths have crossed in perfect timing.</p>
<p>Around us the stars aligning.</p>
<p>Our gifts together mingle,</p>
<p>In harmony, abundance – can you feel the energetic tingle?</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>A movement amongst us – a revolution.</p>
<p>Dare I say, together, we bring a resolution.</p>
<p>The beating of our hearts in rhythm,</p>
<p>In intention, trust and vision.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Our earth is in need of healing,</p>
<p>For all around us is a reeling.</p>
<p>The hate, the war, the blunder,</p>
<p>It is this that will bring us sunder.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Sisters of the wise earth,</p>
<p>Let’s shift the intentions of our world.</p>
<p>And let love, truth, hope unfurl.</p>
<p>Uplift our spirits’ freedom – a dance, a twist, a swirl.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Wash frothy waves across our souls,</p>
<p>Rays of sun upon us &#8211; our authentic virtues extolled.</p>
<p>In connection and synchronicity,</p>
<p>There is oh so much for us to BE.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Take the soil into your hands,</p>
<p>And engage the healing of our lands.</p>
<p>Lay down in the grasses and leaves,</p>
<p>Tune into the rhythm as you breathe.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Amongst nature, the trees, the horses, the birds,</p>
<p>The wisdom of the animals requires no words.</p>
<p>Sit in wonder, quiet and peace,</p>
<p>Embody the powerful release.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Sister, tune into our conscious flow,</p>
<p>Our interwoven energies aglow.</p>
<p>In our growing numbers we share a calling,</p>
<p>To step up and lead as a new world is dawning.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ah, the amazing power of social media!  It makes it so simple to connect to people in all walks of life.</p>
<p>Last year I found myself entrenched into the pages of a book, <b>Women of the Wise Earth</b>, by author Nicole Gruel.  This magical book is a beautiful co-creation of 33 soul-inspired Australian women as they journeyed through the seven chakras in womanly circle in seven places in nature.<span id="more-2063"></span> The very thought of this journey made my own heart and soul dance in possibilities!</p>
<p>The book set forth a path for women’s growth across the elements of the chakras:  grounding, emotions, empowerment, love, creativity, intuition and spiritual knowing.  Week-by-week, the women came together to explore these elements in a sacred place in nature, sharing their experiences and creating a beautiful compilation of story, poem and art.</p>
<p>The combination of nature, creativity and personal exploration was aligned with all that moves me!  As I finished the book, I was inspired to write a <a href="http://syzygy-co.com/poems/circle-of-sisters-a-poem/" target="_blank">poem</a>. Wanting to follow Nicole’s work, I dug around in social media, and low and behold – Nicole and I were suddenly connected across the social network.</p>
<p>In appreciation to Nicole, I shared the poem I wrote with her, and next thing we knew, we were Skyping from opposite ends of the earth.  With curiosity I asked her, “Have you ever thought about taking this concept globally – empowering women in journey around the world all in synchronicity?”  And it was with that possibility that <b>WOWEunite</b> (Women of the Wise Earth Unite) was born.</p>
<p>We launched <b>WOWEunite</b> in February focused on the Root Chakra and the element of grounding.  Over the course of the month individual circles of women all around the world joined to share stories, laughter and love around their connection to earth and all that Root Chakra brings in lessons and life. One of Colorado’s first warm days of the year provided creative inspiration to our local circle in a quiet nook at Red Rocks Park. It was a perfect day.</p>
<p>In March, our global synchronized circles of women explored the Sacral Chakra – mostly in natural locations near water of some sort, whether it was streams or oceans – in keeping with Sacral’s connection to water.  Here in Colorado, our circle of women met streamside at Lair of the Bear – sharing stories of change in our womanly lives, emotions, laughter, marriage and love. The bubbling, always-in-movement creek provided lots of fodder to guide us.</p>
<p>As April and focus on the Solar Plexus unfolded before us, we turned to the topic of empowerment.  It is here that I discovered my personal deep attachment to this element.  As I shared my own life stories around empowerment, I realized that it was from this place of inner-strength that I found the courage to step into the life that I live today.</p>
<p>In exploring my personal stories, I discovered in gratitude, that empowerment is a gift I bring to my clients’ lives.  I believe that we’re all whole perfect beings in our own right.  We each bring gifts that are unique to us, and we merely need to shine a light on those gifts – put focus on who we are at our very essence.  If we live our lives fully understanding our strengths, values, passions and who we are at the very core – we move from a place of empowerment.</p>
<p>When we are tuned into our very essence and all that matters to us, we can see the extensive possibilities in our lives.  It is these possibilities that open doors and create new pathways.  This is empowerment.</p>
<p>I’m blessed to participate in these journeys of empowerment with my clients.  Recently one client gratefully expressed how excited she was for all that was manifesting in her life, sharing that she had discovered the energy of “relaxing into the goal.” She described it as everything is happening in perfect timing and is coming to her so effortlessly!</p>
<p>Now <i>that</i> in my mind is empowerment!  She’s not driving into the goal.  She’s created a stream of life that is attracting abundance and new possibilities. She’s aligned to who she is and what she’s supposed to be doing in her life.</p>
<p>Just as I effortlessly connected with Nicole Gruel in our shared passions and the flow of new possibilities came forth, this client has found her own stream of potential! So authentic. So empowering! I invite you to feel the difference!</p>
<p>And so I continue on my personal journey of empowerment and possibilities.  I keep aligned to who I am and what I stand for.  I trust in this journey, knowing that I can continue to make a difference.  And of course, I watch for those opportunities to connect and grow:  one-on-one, many-with-many, or just jumping onto the global consciousness of creating a better world.  Join me!</p>
<p>You can find me on Facebook at <a href="https://www.facebook.com/SyzygyCoaching" target="_blank">Syzygy Coaching</a> and <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/WOWEunite/" target="_blank">WOWEunite</a>.  If you’re ready to start your own journey of empowerment, schedule a Complimentary Consultation <a href="https://my.timedriver.com/4R9DG" target="_blank">online</a> – isn’t it time to open your pathway of possibilities!</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I choose abundance.  I live in it each day.  I share the bounty of our world with all those around me.  The gift each of us brings is unique and beautiful and together we create a symphony of abundant flowing energy that makes a difference in our world.</p>
<p>For as long as I can remember, I have been a proponent of TEAM.  In my world, 1+1=3 and 3+3=10 when we combine our gifts and talents.<span id="more-2012"></span>  When we pool our resources in creativity, love and care, we find a  higher purpose than our own personal agenda.  Together in TEAM, our resources and ideas can exponentially create more.</p>
<p>Such a difference to choosing scarcity.  The “Not Enough Mentality” that proliferates in our society, stops the flow of energy.  It deadens the possibilities stream to a slow trickling dribble.  I see competitive tightening of “mine is better,” and “that’s my space,” instead of appreciation for the talents that others bring.  I believe that there is plenty for all if we would only open our hearts in appreciation and abundance.</p>
<p>In the book <em><strong>Daring Greatly</strong></em> by Brene Brown, Brene takes us on a journey to explore our culture’s focus on scarcity and never enough. She describes the “Never Enough Problem of our culture as:  Never Good Enough. Never Perfect Enough. Never Thin Enough. Never Successful Enough. Never Enough Money.”</p>
<p>She suggests that one of the paths toward moving past these fears of never enough is to find inner courage – to be vulnerable – to dare greatly.  To take the stance of “I am enough. “  “You are enough.”  I’d add to that – not only are we both enough, together we can be even more!</p>
<p>To understand the gifts each person brings, we have to listen and become aware.  Curiousity, exploration and hearing others’ stories and dreams and ideas leads to understanding.  This caring abundance heals and transforms and empowers you and empowers me.  It opens the door to bigger possibilities.</p>
<p>While I’m not a surfer – my son holds this title in our family – I love the analogy of each of us cresting our own personal wave, riding it, honing our skills. Then paddling back out to the waves again, to go even higher with a greater level of skill in the ebb and flow of life’s rhythm.  There are enough waves for all of us.  We may favor different types of waves or even the same wave – but there is enough.</p>
<p>In our lives, there are many waves of energy to catch – to tune into and gift.  There’s no shortage of energetic waves and no two are alike.  Just like you and I – while similar, we’re never exactly the same.  In the greater consciousness of our world, I can bring my gifts and you yours.  Together we’ll create, intermingle and weave a cloth of great beauty – encompassing the land, inviting others.</p>
<p>This is empowerment.  This is abundance.</p>
<p>So today and every day, I invite you to say “I am enough.”  “You are enough.”  And then explore what you might create in synchronicity with others. Chances are, you will open the doors to new possibilities and new opportunities!</p>
<p>If you want to practice in the realm of abundance and empowerment, I invite you to attend the upcoming <a href="http://syzygy-co.com/calendar/leadership-through-the-eyes-of-the-horse/">Leadership Through the Eyes of the Horse</a> 1-Day Workshop on May 17<sup>th</sup>.  Together we’ll play in appreciation of your own gifts in leadership and learn new ways to explore the gifts of others.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[As I awoke early one morning and pulled the shades of my bedroom to say my ritual ‘good morning’ to the Syzygy herd of horses just off my deck door – I caught a glimpse of one of our rare silver foxes scooting under the fence into my paddock and arena.

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As I awoke early one morning and pulled the shades of my bedroom to say my ritual ‘good morning’ to the Syzygy herd of horses just off my deck door – I caught a glimpse of one of our rare silver foxes scooting under the fence into my paddock and arena.  His black and silver coat glistened in the morning light and he caught the attention of my grey Swedish Warmblood mare, Destiny Dancer.</p>
<p>Destiny arched her neck in interest, ears up and in her own big warmblood trot joined him in the center of the arena.  In curiosity, they found an energetic connection in their wild, animal ways and began to play.  They&#8217;d slow together – turn together – stop together in a respectful, curious, &#8220;Who are you?&#8221; kind of way. In synchronicity they played in this horse-fox dance based purely on an interest in each other, reflecting each other’s steps.  I sat in awe for a good ten minutes – so fortunate to witness this amazing scene.</p>
<p>This is one of the great joys of living in the foothills of Colorado.  So much nature around us in which to observe, experience and most importantly – learn, if only we listen.</p>
<p>On another day, I had the wonderful experience of seeing two young deer come across the path of a large bull elk. The grandfatherly elk was oblivious to the young deer – or at least he pretended to be.  But the curiosity of young deer was undeniable.  They began their quest of getting close enough to discover what this giant animal was, that towered over them.</p>
<p>Cautiously, they would take dainty, yet brave steps up to him, and then scatter away quickly, kicking up their heels in fun&#8230; and then again try to get closer, step-by-step, certainly near enough to smell him as they raised their noses into the air to take in his scent.  Then a little closer – and he would stomp a foot and send them scattering. The young deer played this game for some time and I sat in the valley watching this spectacle.</p>
<p>I am so fortunate to have got to witness both of these beautiful scenes in pure nature as they unfolded.  No words were spoken.  The natural way that the animals connected – cross-species – found interest in one another, played with one-another and let their curiosity be the center of moment.</p>
<p>Is there a lesson for us in our own lives here?  I’d volunteer a big resounding yes!</p>
<p>In our busy, crazy pace of life that we live, we so often forget to stop and be curious about those around us.  We forget to take time to play and be in the wordless moments that can grant us so much wisdom and insight into our own journeys and paths.  Those moments can provide us hints and guidance, if we only turn off our monkey minds of doing to get all done, and honor the quiet space of being.</p>
<p>So I invite you to take some time this spring and summer to just be.  When you hike – stop and sit.  If you feel like moving, dance like no one is watching.  Let it flow.  See what inspiration comes up.</p>
<p>And if you’re so compelled, join in one of the many Syzygy equine guided retreats this summer (no horse experience required) to put yourself in the heart-centered exploration of your own journey of curiosity and play.  You will find yourself in nature, deep in play and personal story.  The horses will guide you, help you tune into your deepest passions and dreams.  You’ll open your own magical curiosity to discover new things about you and your life.  Things that may be just hidden below the surface, if only you’ll look.</p>
<p>Choose the one that calls to you:  what’s next in your life, growing your leadership or deepening your mother:daughter relationship.  Or ask me about a custom and private 2-day Equine Vision Journey designed specifically for you and where you are in your life today.</p>

<p>Syzygy retreats are awe-inspiring, life-changing and  heart opening.  Here’s just a few of my favorite client testimonials.</p>
<p><i>“My mind and soul were liberated and I was able to open up to new possibilities in the future.”</i></p>
<p><i>“This experience will be a touch point of strength for my life.  Through this exploration I have identified a solid set of healing forces that I can come back to when I need them – such as the smells of pine, sage and horses – centering my mind with yoga – and remembering all of the good I have achieved in my career and life.”</i></p>
<p><i>“This weekend certainly shook me to the core.  I still feel the courage the horses gave to me burning in my soul.  I am like a fearless warrior right now.”</i></p>
<p><i>“I was stunned by this experience.  It brought out more in me than dozens of other coaching sessions I have had.  The difference in this program is that you emphasize participants listen to their hearts.  This may seem superficial at first blush but it makes all the difference in getting to the core of the person and understanding what journey they are truly meant to undertake.”</i></p>
<p>So join us this summer and open the door to play and curiosity! There is new inspiration awaiting you!</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Seeking the conversations with our essence – our inner guide – changes the conversations and changes the circumstances.  By shifting what we focus on, we breathe life into the new possibilities deemed important by our inner soul.  It helps us uncover why we are here on this earth and what gifts we are to share with others. ]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I sit cross-legged on my couch – my coaching partner, Kellen – a 12 pound yorkie – curled snuggly into a circle at my hip, soft music playing, a candle lit in celebration.  In the chair next to me sits a beautiful soul digging deep into her story.  Uncovering why that particular story stands out and what about it is meaningful in her world.  What it means to her on the journey she’s on today.</p>
<p>This is how I spend my days!  I’m blessed to get to know my clients at a level that even some of their closest friends don’t.  We play in the world of awareness.  Awareness of their deepest thoughts and emotions.  Awareness of the messages that come from their body.  Awareness of their own spirituality.</p>
<p>Our conversations are led from the heart.  Honest, raw and unedited.  What unfolds for me is a complex understanding of how intricately their pulsating threads of life weave together – in color and beauty.  The pulsating threads alive in passions and values, strengths and dreams.</p>
<p>What unfolds for them is a new understanding of their life exploration.  An adventure is born – paths become trails – and trails reach new heights.  They discover joys in life that they never knew existed.  Dreams dawn the horizon and blossom into full daylight.</p>
<p>For this is what happens when we take time to look into our inner soul and engage our spirit dreamer.</p>
<p>The Pony Pondering© Daily Inspiration deck of cards has a card titled, “<i>Embrace Your Spirit Dreamer</i>.”</p>
<blockquote><p><i>“The aqua glow of spirit pony shines amidst the deep forest bathed in golden light. She brings a reminder to look deep inside and honor your inner spirit.</i></p>
<p><i>Seek out conversations with your essence, not your circumstances. What are your dreams? What does your heart tell you? Life choices are yours alone, and your essence knows what to do. Soften your body. Soften your heart and receive the knowing gifts that come forth.</i></p>
<p><i>For it is your right to please yourself. It is your right to be happy and take charge. Embrace your very core, and your lovable heart and spirit will create their own inner glow that radiates unto the world. This is your life to live. Live it. Breathe it. Wear it. Most importantly, own it.”</i></p></blockquote>
<p>So often, we get caught up in the stories of our circumstances.  We tell the circumstantial story over and over and it invites more of the same.  In the 60,000 thoughts we think on any given day, 95% of them end up being the same ones that we thought yesterday.  Circles of circumstances continue playing in our minds, our stories and our lives.</p>
<p>Seeking the conversations with our essence – our inner guide – changes the conversations and changes the circumstances.  By shifting what we focus on, we breathe life into the new possibilities deemed important by our inner soul.  It helps us uncover why we are here on this earth and what gifts we are to share with others.</p>
<p>It takes work and persistency to engage these deep inner thoughts and explore what they mean!  If you are hearing a calling to invite your spirit dreamer to play, do it!  Dance along the edge of what moves you and explore the underpinning why.  Listen and become aware of synchronicities that show up in your life, and then act on those callings.  It’s all there for you to discover.</p>
<p>I invite you to awaken your inner spirit with a complimentary Syzygy consultation.  Call me, email me or sign up online at <a href="http://syzygy-co.com/coaching/">http://syzygy-co.com/coaching/</a>.  We have a colorful, beautiful mix of delicious ways to help guide you on your unique journey, from my life and transition coaching programs, to a “<a href="http://syzygy-co.com/coaching/group-coaching-program-you-version-2-0/">You Version 2.0</a>” group coaching circle starting February 21<sup>st</sup> to a full series of Equine Vision Journey Retreats scheduled this summer!  Let’s play!</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With the new year underway, I hope you find yourself in lightness of heart – with visions of possibilities to unfold.  For me, it’s not about New Year resolutions, but more about choosing how I want to show up for each day.  In awareness, abundance, peace and joy.</p>
<p>It’s not to say that everyday works that way.  This week brought its fair share of first trials and tribulations of the year for me.  Frozen pipes, frozen pumps, amidst worries of how my horses would get water and how to manage a business amidst the bumps and turns of the week.  It rattled me.  It frazzled me.  I felt new pains in my body that I hadn’t had before.  And in the midst of chaos, I stopped and listened.</p>
<p>Then I remembered.  Tune in and hear what my body has to say.  A little meditation, some time for writing, and systematically make choices.  What’s most important at this moment that must be managed?  Say no, where it makes sense, shifting and moving commitments around.</p>
<p>And with this approach, I found my footing.  The pipes thawed without major damage.  The well pump was repaired to working order.  A dependable neighbor filled the horses’ water tank and then finally, the sun came out and thawed the barn water faucets.  The postponed meetings were fine and the meetings I kept – were the right ones.</p>
<p>As all returned to normal, the body aches went away.  In my deep dreams of last night, I found myself uplifted in flight and I knew I had reconnected to my right life rhythm.  I love dreams of flying.  They hold special meaning, symbolizing a sense of freedom and personal growth with passion. Over the course of my lifetime, flying dreams have signified a time when everything is flowing smoothly and in control – aligned to the right path.</p>
<p>As I awoke this morning, renewed from the lightness of the dreams of last night, I kicked off the day journaling, reconnecting to the big picture visions of the year.  My heart danced in the possibilities. Clarity flowed in my writing as the puzzle pieces – that have not quite fit together – suddenly fell into place.  A core “how” of my vision for the year became clear!</p>
<p>I went to my office and outlined the details of a major project that had previously shown up in only small, disjointed glimpses before.  My heart was taking flight! Sometimes, it’s the bumpy-road-moments-of-life that reconnect you to renewed self-awareness.  And from here, it’s just a stone’s throw away from our biggest ah-ha moments!  So for those frozen pipes of this week – perhaps I’m even a little thankful!</p>
<p>If you feel your life getting a little out of control, I invite you to stop – even for 15 minutes.  My mediation wasn’t an hour – it was 5 minutes.  The writing that followed – just 10 minutes.  This short amount time was enough to bring clarity and help me connect to an inner peace.</p>
<p>And as I moved through the check points of remedy, my life quickly settled back into that place of self-awareness, abundance, peace and joy that I strive for in each day.  I could hear the messages of my heart, once again.</p>
<p>And so go the lessons in our lives.  Rarely does anything come to us in a straight line.  Sometimes we have to turn things upside down and shake it all around, and then when right-sided again, it all becomes clear with ease and grace.</p>
<p>Author Khalil Gibran wrote, “Does the song of the sea end at the shore or in the hearts that listen to it?”  This is the gift of listening to your heart when you need it.</p>
<p>Do you want some practice connecting to the messages of your heart?  I invite you to sign up for one of my limited Complimentary Consultations at <a href="http://syzygy-co.com/coaching/">http://syzygy-co.com/coaching/</a>.  Or, join me in my 12 week <a href="http://syzygy-co.com/coaching/group-coaching-program-you-version-2-0/">You Version 2.0 – Discover Your Next Chapter</a> Group Coaching Tele-series that starts on February 21.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As the dawning of winter approaches, I’ve tuned into my body’s subtle messages to slow down and reflect.  Shorter days lead to longer periods of darkness, providing our soul the ability to catch up to our busy body and pace of life.  In conversation with my friends, clients and family, I hear a common theme of quieting our monkey minds and tuning into reflective soul-searching. Themes of reconnection to what’s important in life – starting with family, friends and the often forgotten, SELF.</p>
<p>In one of my favorite books, <strong>The Way of the Happy Women</strong>, Sara Avant Stover shares in her chapter on Winter, “If we don’t take time for deep rest, then authentic healing, rejuvenation, wisdom and softening are not possible.” What a wise statement.</p>
<p>So this month I thought I’d share some ideas for gifting yourself some deep rest.  To start with, I’ll provide a glimpse into what I’ve been drawn to.</p>
<p>First of all, I have devoured the contents of so many books recently. From <strong>The Dance</strong>, by Oriah Mountain Dreamer and <strong>Women of the Wise Earth</strong> by Nicole Gruel, to rereading <strong>Sacred Contracts</strong> by Caroline Myss and <strong>Touching Enlightenment, </strong>by Boulder’s Reginald Ray – each have provided insights into my own soul path and deeper listening. John C. Maxwell’s book, <strong>Today Matters,</strong> gifted to me by a client and friend, brought great advice on truly stepping into life’s potential.</p>
<p>Most recently, I’ve picked up the book <strong>The Power of Stillness</strong> by Tobin Blake, which offers a series of simple daily meditation exercises. In my life, I’ve mostly found meditation through a walk in the woods or quiet reflection with my horses, so the realm of real meditation will be an interesting exploration. Add to this the wonderful “Yoga for the Spirit” class I just discovered at Evergreen’s Body, Mind Awareness Yoga – and I’ve got a wonderful concoction of personal growth taking place – all setting the foundation for 2013!</p>
<p>Reflecting on my own spiraling path of life that I ride, it’s inspiring to see what teachers, coaches, guides and partners are showing up to be part of my own journey of growth.  My mind and body are drawn to the synchronicities that align my days, and I find great joy and wonder in my own need to learn every day. What will tomorrow bring?</p>
<p>This stillness and reflection provides space for new thoughts and new ideas to blossom. It not only sets the sails for my personal growth, but for my professional growth and business as well.  You see, this reflective time brings clarity and purpose to the forefront.  It reminds me what is meaningful and how to balance life in a way that enables me to live <em>my</em> life to its highest potential. It’s so important to step off the busy-ness of our lives and find this!</p>
<p>A wise mentor once convinced me to take a half day a week disconnected from technology, people and meetings – focused only on thinking, strategizing and writing.  At the time, I thought this idea was absurd and not realistic.  But given he was my boss at the time, I listened – and you know what – I discovered my most brilliant ideas came on those days.</p>
<p>So this leads to the question of how do I integrate all of these lessons of late and yesteryear into the coming 2013?  On my quest to continue to learn and grow every day of my life, here are some of the things I’m striving for in 2013!</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>No-Meeting Fridays:</strong>  I’m going to open up space for writing and creating in 2013, by dedicating every Friday to mind-play-dates.  While my core goal for this day is to write, I’ll allow the natural rhythm of creativity to define this space – trusting that what is destined to be born, will be.</li>
<li><strong>Coaches, Guides and Mentors:  </strong>I believe that all coaches must continually do their own personal work – always taking their growth and learning to new levels. I’ve been blessed to have some amazing coaches and mentors in my life, and am very excited about the individuals I’ve identified to guide my growth in 2013.</li>
<li><strong>Spirit and Somatic Exploration:</strong> I am so in awe of the synchronicities of life – how people and opportunities show up exactly how and when they are supposed to! I attribute a lot my own serendipitous moments to having a deeper awareness, so that I actually <em>see</em> the opportunities when they show up! Listening to my inner voice. Tuning into the messages from my body. I commit to continue to sharpen my awareness levels.</li>
<li><strong>Starting the Day from a Peaceful Place:</strong>  One of my admitted vices is deeply rooted to my corporate days of leading overseas teams. The days of 5:00 am conference calls and e-mails should be long-gone from my repertoire, but unfortunately, the first thing I do each morning is tune into technology and check e-mails.  2013 is going to bring a change for me. I will start my day journaling, reflecting, chatting with my hubby and loving on all the animal souls that bless our house, before touching any technology.</li>
</ul>
<p>So my wish for you this holiday season, is that you find time to slow down in reflection.  Perhaps you’ll be drawn to one of the books I mentioned. Perhaps one of the ideas I’m incorporating into my own 2013 <em>Way of Being</em> feels right for you. Listen to your heart and listen to your body – it will guide you in the right path.</p>
<p>If you want a little help, sign up <a href="https://my.timedriver.com/4R9DG" target="_blank">online</a> for a Complimentary Consultation. Together we can co-create the life your heart is longing for.</p>
<p>And if you still have some last minute Christmas shopping, consider gifting inspiration to someone special this holiday season!  How about a deck of <a href="http://syzygy-co.com/products/pony-ponderings/" target="_blank">Pony Pondering Daily Inspiration Cards </a>or an <a href="http://syzygy-co.com/calendar/equine-vision-journey/" target="_blank">Equine Vision Journey to Your Next Chapter Retreat</a> gift basket?  Both promise to bring positive, thought-provoking guidance to that someone special’s soul path.</p>
<p>Happy holidays to you.  May family, peace and love fill your days.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As glimpses of 2013 start to show up in our thoughts &#8211; do you find yourself thinking you&#8217;re ready to make it your best year ever?  Isnʼt it time to go for the things you really want in your life?  Join me for a <a href="http://syzygy-co.com/vision-workshops/your-best-year-ever-free-teleseminar/" target="_blank">FREE 2-Part Teleseminar</a> called Your BEST YEAR EVER on December 12 and 19 from 8:00 am &#8211; 9:00 am MT.</p>
<p>Together, we&#8217;ll:</p>
<ul>
<li>Identify the goals you really want and are most likely to achieve!</li>
<li>Create your own personalized 3 Step Success Strategy.</li>
<li>Get into action and create huge momentum to keep on going.</li>
<li>Learn 4 easy ways to overcome any obstacle that arises.</li>
<li>And much, much more!</li>
</ul>
<p>As you know, I always think my clients tell it best!  Here&#8217;s what some recent participants said about this easy to attend seminar!</p>
<p>“First of all, it’s amazing that you do this &#8211; thank you! In the past, I have always written my goals, but it so much more powerful to do this with other people. Sharing with the others over these two weeks has enabled me to speak out my hopes and I’m already putting these intentions out into the world!  I think this really works instead of just writing them down for myself, where they stay small and more silent.  This is so much more effective and stimulating to do it together.”</p>
<p>“Now that we went through and defined our WHY, I no longer have excuses.  There’s no reason to not take action. I used to open up a notebook every year and write down a bunch of goals – but there was no strong WHY behind it.  I didn’t know why they mattered to me and therefore, there was no course of action for it. This workshop really helped define my why and now it’s very clear what my next steps will be!”</p>
<p>“This gave me focus, focus, focus!”</p>
<p>“Made me accountable. Thank you for giving us the tools to be successful.”</p>
