    I’m continuing to bring a different presence to my connections with people at work. It’s more fearless, authentic and vulnerable. And I’m finding my connections are deeper. Today, I continued speaking with a coworker I mentioned in an earlier post who feels he’s undergoing a shift in consciousness. It’s a different experience for me to be able to speak about this kind of stuff with anyone outside of my Facebook or coaching communities. But the more I talk to this guy, the more I’m hearing some of my own beliefs and insights being reflected back to me. He’s teaching me a lot about vulnerability as well as I see how visibly excited he gets about what he’s learning. He’s also told other people some of the stuff he’s told me but never found anyone who resonated with it other than me. This demonstrated courage to me. And I acknowledge that there are people I trust that I could be more vulnerable with, as well as people that I have been vulnerable with already. In addition to this example, I’m noticing myself showing up much more powerfully and authentically with other people lately. And it’s such a gradual process but I can acknowledge now that this has been happening for some time. I’m bringing more courage, nonjudgment and loving, not to mention vulnerability and authenticity (because I already did) to the interactions I have with people. I’m excited about having this awareness and giving voice to it. I’m releasing the old story that I’m too shy and anxious to connect with people because it only ever served me in isolating myself from others for my own protection. I’m now open to receiving the learning that comes from connecting fearlessly with other human beings from a place of worthiness. I’m more aware of what it means to be a “loving mirror”.

    • You are able to connect so I’m glad you are dropping that old story. And when you bring curiosity, non-judgment and vulnerability to conversations you get to connect more with others because you are connecting with yourself this way. I love that this relationship at work is changing.
