My family and I are in the SF Bay Area this Thanksgiving week celebrating the holiday with our wonderful extended family and dear friends. The rain has come, giving fire-ravaged Northern California some much-needed relief. TYG!

So much to be grateful for. So much to be grateful in.

From my heart to yours, I want to express how grateful I am to have YOU in my life and in my community.

Thank you for your courage to pursue your passions and dreams. Thank you for shining your light in your own one-and-only way. Thank you for your willingness to share your gifts; to be seen and visible; to show up in all of the ups & downs of your life and business; and to keep on forging ahead, despite setbacks, letdowns, meltdowns and breakdowns.

You are important to me.

The other day I went through a wave of feeling terribly alone in my business. (Oh, the life of an entrepreneur!) During my morning meditation and centering practice, I got the distinct message that I need only to call upon my soul tribe for unconditional love and support and open myself to RECEIVE this abundant seen and unseen backing. Group energy is powerful and can lift us when we most need it.

So this is my message to you today: As a leader of your own tribe, you are not alone. Anytime you can call upon the souls here who love you and are here for you unconditionally. They may be your Facebook friends, Instagram followers, in your networking groups or on your mailing list. Or not. Or not yet.

Use this holiday time to send out invisible beams of light to them and energetically let them know you are willing to become even more visible to them; and in particular, you are willing to RECEIVE their support as a leader.

And then, of course, keep doing the outer work to connect with them–through speaking, emails, social media, videos. Keep stepping out, despite the self-doubt and worry, to make your message known and visible.

And keep willing to shine, like Venus in the early morning sky. We need YOU. Your voice, your story, your unique brand, your perspective and your energy are important and matter tremendously.

Wishing you an abundantly blessed holiday time!
