Last week something happened to me that was really scary.\u00a0 I can honestly say that I hadn\u2019t felt that scared in a long time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I went back and forth about whether or not to share this publicly, but I think it\u2019s important to be real and not give the impression that I\u2019m invincible or that I don\u2019t every have my share of \u201ccurve balls\u201d thrown at me.<\/span><\/p>\n

About 3 or 4 weeks ago, I started noticing a tingling sensation in my left arm, primarily from my elbow to my wrist, and, sometimes my fingertips.\u00a0 I spend a lot of time on my computer, and I\u2019ve had Carpal Tunnel Syndrome a few times, so, when I looked up the symptoms and saw that Carpal Tunnel was a common cause of tingling in the arm, I assumed it was that.<\/span><\/p>\n

I began to notice that I also felt tingling in my left leg, and then my right leg, in the outer shin area, and didn\u2019t know what to make of that. However, it would come and go, so, while I was a bit concerned, I didn\u2019t make a big deal about it.<\/span><\/p>\n

Last Tuesday, however, I felt tingling and numbness on my face, neck, down my left arm and leg. After a few\u00a0 hours, I began to get concerned, so I went to Urgent Care. They recommended I go to the ER, and they proceeded to do various tests, scans, and MRIs, and recommended I stay overnight.<\/span><\/p>\n

As I was laying down for them to conduct the CAT Scan, I began to worry.<\/span><\/p>\n

What if this is something serious?<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Why do they keep talking about \u201ca stroke\u201d?<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Will I be able to take care of my children?<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

How will this impact my marriage?<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

What about my clients?<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

These thoughts were running through my head all at once, and I really had to do the work that we teach our clients to separate facts from fears, because the truth is that our mind will usually envision and play out the worst possible scenarios, and my mind, left to its own devices, is no exception!<\/span><\/p>\n

So, I was being intentional, moment by moment, to not allow my fears to take over or take me down the slippery mental slope of imagining the very worst.<\/span><\/p>\n

As I was going through all of this,\u00a0I got really present to the fact that I truly want to LIVE!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

I don\u2019t just want to exist or survive.<\/span><\/p>\n

I want to LIVE.<\/span><\/p>\n

I want to LOVE.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I want to GIVE myself fully<\/em> to my family and to this world and do the work that I know I was born to do as a woman, wife, mother, and coach.<\/span><\/p>\n

And, naturally, I started thinking about you.<\/span><\/p>\n

I literally said to God,<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cLord, there is still so much I feel I need to do.\u00a0 <\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

What about all of the women who still haven\u2019t met the love of their lives?\u00a0 <\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

What about the women who are feeling sad and lonely in their relationships?\u00a0 <\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Please, allow me the opportunity to do the work You\u2019ve called me to do.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

And, once I prayed that prayer, there was a peace that came over me. I can\u2019t explain it.\u00a0 In that moment, I just KNEW with every fiber of my being that everything was going to be okay.<\/span><\/p>\n

I still don\u2019t know what caused the episode or why I still have some tingling in my arms and legs.\u00a0 However, I am working with a doctor to find out exactly what is going on and what to do to turn it around. <\/span><\/p>\n

Why? Because I don’t want to pretend to the know the answers when I don’t, and I’m also not going to wait and see if things “fix” themselves on their own. \u00a0I\u2019m willing to do whatever it takes to heal anything that is out of alignment in my body so that I can continue living, loving, carrying out my mission, and making my dreams and other women\u2019s dreams come true!<\/span><\/p>\n

What about you?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know what curve balls life has thrown at you.<\/span><\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know what heartache or pain or fear you are experiencing right now.<\/span><\/p>\n

But here is what I do know:<\/span><\/p>\n

If you have a dream in your heart of living in a happy, loving, intimate relationship where you are loved and desired by a man who wants nothing more than to help make your dreams come true and you are not in that relationship yet, then part of my life\u2019s mission is helping you create that relationship.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

I know it can be scary when you\u2019re not sure why things are going the way they are going and you don\u2019t have all the answers you need to begin turning your love life around.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

My invitation is that you not allow those fears to paralyze and take you out of the game. Don\u2019t allow them to make you wonder if your dream is possible.\u00a0 IT IS!<\/span><\/p>\n

And, if you don\u2019t have the answers, then it\u2019s time to begin working with someone who does<\/em> \u2013 someone who can help you see what\u2019s been getting in the way of attracting and having the love you want and who can help give you the exact <\/em>steps you can take to begin transforming yourself and your love life so that you can finally experience the loving relationship your heart desires.<\/span><\/p>\n

You deserve all the happiness and love your heart longs for.\u00a0 You truly do.<\/span><\/p>\n

Believe it!<\/span><\/p>\n

And if I can help you create it, then<\/span> write to me<\/strong><\/span><\/a>\u00a0or leave me a comment\u00a0and let me know how I can serve and support you, because you, your dreams, and your happiness matter to me!<\/span><\/p>\n
