intent

so, i was recently nudged in the direction of a short intentions workshop the day before it started. just a small commitment of two hour and a half long group coaching on articulating and setting intentions.
it was the very perfect thing at the very perfect time and it made my eyes tear up several times it was that powerful and that power instilling.
and i say power here in the way you wouldn't expect
because it's really about going in the opposite direction that the word power implies


it was about giving up, not taking
letting go, not clinging to


and here i am.
the first of many audacious intentions checked off the list:

this week i set to increase this pay period's commission rate by about 25% more than i have made in any pay period to date. and today, a mere four hours before the pay period closed, i made it. and to put it into a little perspective, in the past three days, i had to make as half much in those three days (including one where i wouldn't be working at all) as i had made in the past thirteen days of the pay period. suffice it to say, it was a lot, but somehow i never once felt discouraged or particularly even pressured about whether or not it would happen, but every time i would look at the numbers i would think: hmm, still a ways to go to make it but it's out of my hands. and......thanks to suddenly out of nowhere having my best day of in hospital sales ever and then another day of great online sales including two families i photographed over a month ago, i made it.

it was a gift.
but it was also my doing.

so thanks to all the things in and out of my control that made it happen.





and this is just the beginning.
