This post is part of my “Real Life (S)heroes” series, where I introduce you to awesome real-life, everyday heroes and sheroes who have inspired me by living large, being fully self-expressed, and making a meaningful contribution, in spite of the risks – this is what Agile Living is all about! I’m sharing these stories with you because one of the biggest sources of stuckness that I come across is when people hit up against a fear and then get stuck in their fears because they’re beating up on themselves for having those fears.
I have the good fortune of hearing about people’s fears from people of all walks of life, and one of the most powerful things that’s done for me has been that I’ve been able to see how “what’s most personal is most general” – in other words, we all basically struggle with the same stuff. And recognizing that can help you to stop judging and fighting your own fears, and invest your energy in moving your “thing” forward instead.

This is an unusual list post because:
1.) I’ve been drinking too much coffee lately and I’ve gotten to the point where completing sentences is…
2.) I went to an A.M.A.Z.I.N.G improv workshop over the weekend and the stuff I learned about myself has totally hit me for a six and I’m still in that non-verbal processing phase (I’ll share more once it becomes verbal and will be vaguely sensible to read!)
3.) I couldn’t sleep last night because I was still so excited about the launch of the Bottom-line Bookclub (and SO much other stuff like… the upcoming Martha Beck Coaches Convention and meeting all the awesome friends I’ve made through the Martha Beck tribe, our USA roadtrip and spending time with my brother and his family, possibilities that we may go live in rural Transkei for a few months at the end of the year, endless new ideas I have for DIY coaching programs I want to create, Andy’s social development project that he’s putting together for January, possibilities that we might go live in snowy Canada after that… and much, much more.) So I’ve had too much coffee again this morning… (refer to point nr 1.)
