What's In A Word: The Word is *Open*
This category is dedicated to inspiring words and any actions that can be taken to incorporate the chosen word into your day-to-day. My hope is that you have some fun with these words and maybe learn something new about you.
To be “open” is to…
Be present and aware
Be flexible
Go with the flow
Consider all options and potentials
Be in a positive frame of mind
How will you remain open? What one thing will you stake claim to today to demonstrate your own openness?
When we are open and receptive, good stuff begins to present itself and the receiving can begin.

What's In A Word: The Word Is *Authentic*
This category is dedicated to inspiring words and any actions that can be taken to incorporate the chosen word into your day-to-day. My hope is that you have some fun with these words and maybe learn something new about you.
The word "authentic" brings up the following for me:
Actions that are congruent with who I am
Integrity
Real
Walking my walk
Speaking the truth
Reliable
Trust
Genuine
Being my authentic self and not a square peg squished in a round hole is vital to me. I am committed to showing up as me and not something or someone I am not. To show up in any other way leaves me feeling empty and fraudulent.
What does authentic mean to you? Has there ever been a time when you were not your authentic self? What happened?
What do you do to show up as your authentic self?

What's In A Word: The Word Is "Truth"
Back in November I purchased the greatest little cards from a booth at the ICF Conference. Rather than let these gems continue to collect dust on my desk, it is time to put them to good use.
So here's the deal; this category is dedicated to inspiring words and any actions that can be taken to incorporate the chosen word into your day-to-day. My hope is that you have some fun with these words and maybe learn something new about you.
When I hear or see the word truth I think of…
Integrity
Being my authentic self
Speaking from the heart
Hearing between the lines or what is not being said
Reliability
Real
Honest
When we are being truthful with ourselves and others we are less likely to participate in activities or behaviors that do not positively support our forward movement and growth.
What does truth mean to you? What can you commit to doing (starting today) to ensure that truth is a part of your daily life?

What's In A Word: The Word Is "Safe"
Back in November I purchased the greatest litte cards from a booth at the ICF Conference. Rather than let these gems continue to collect dust on my desk, it is time to put them to good use.
So here's the deal; this category is dedicated to inspiring words and any actions that can be taken to incorporate the chosen word into your day-to-day. My hope is that you have some fun with these words and maybe learn something new about you.
When I hear the word "safe" the following comes to mind...
My nice warm bed
A heartfelt hug
My home
My friends
My family
All these things leave me with a very warm and secure feeling.
What does the word "safe" mean to you? What does safe look like? What does it feel like?
Is there anything in your life that does not feel safe or as safe as it could? If so, how can you make it safe for you?
