Back in early February – when I should have been planning the next few months for my business – I got it into my head that I wanted to rearrange the shelves in my office.  I wanted to make room for the fabulous gift my husband and the kids got me for Christmas – a faux fireplace.

The problem was, it’d never fit with the extra shelf.

Ritual helps with all sorts of transitions.  I use it to ease one of the hardest transitions I face - the one that comes at the end of every month:  the beginning of a NEW month.

Here's how ritual can help you move gently from one month to another...

Often I undertake projects that call for extended work –

• a writing project that will unfold over any number of days or weeks 
  
• a business planning retreat
  
• a class I’m taking over a number of weeks 
  

There is a threat (a nerve-wracking, energy-sapping threat) of losing focus, of not being able to follow through and see it through to the end.

Sheer will power is not a strong point of mine.

I stumbled upon a solution many years ago.

I just got done leading another of the Virtual Business Retreats that I’ve been doing every couple of months with these great groups of women.  

I mentioned how I’ve been feeling pinched in my dreaming and envisioning lately, how everything I think up goes crashing into a mental brick wall with the words YEAH, BUT written on it.

They all seemed to know exactly what I was talking about.

As far as spiritual practices go, you can’t ask for a better one that entrepreneurship.  Owning your own business does everything a spiritual practice should – you get to know yourself, come up against your growing edges.  It can be the most rewarding thing in the world.

It can also be the most frustrating, confusing and lonely…

Which is why I’m leading a Virtual Business Retreat February 10th – 14th!



You can get all the details and sign up for it over here!

Maybe this January you’re feeling called to begin the practice of starting your own little business (maybe even a “jobby” – somewhere between a job and a hobby as my husband used to lovingly refer to my work) then this retreat is for you.

Maybe you’re feeling called to “get serious” about your business this year – this retreat is for you.

Because whether you’re a beginning entrepreneur, established business owner or, like me, transitioning in between and desperately in need of a plan to help structure the day, the material covered in this retreat is meant to meet you where you are in your business, no matter where you are in your business.

Again, all those juicy details can be found over here…

It’s a rainy morning here on Long Island and all my Monday Morning/beginning of the week stuff is going all wrong. 
 
Instead of making me feel as though there’s a clear path ahead of me, all I feel is a sense of dread – pressure on my heart and a pinching as if there’s too much to do and none of it anything I’d really care to do.

Sometimes a different approach is needed…

One way or another we face change.  

Much as we may sometimes wish it otherwise, we can’t stay the same for ever.

For example, I was working.  Then I wasn't.  I will be again, no question.

But in between each of those three states of being is change, and lots of it.  I talked before about how hard it can be to transition.

I can push myself through the transition, the in between time, and try to fight to make it go quicker. 


I can feel guilty that it’s taking me time to go from not writing back into writing.  


I can ignore how bad both of those things feel and work anyway, even though I’ve learned that I’ll struggle with writer’s block later.

Or.
