SUCCESS! What does it mean?

What does SUCCESS mean to you? This is a very personal question. It means something different to everyone. It is also such a great question. I get asked it all the time. And actually the answer keeps evolving. It is ever changing. Not that my priorities change. Life is moving and I am opening my eyes more and more to what is really important to me.

Most of you know that I have lived in Paris for the last year. Following my dreams. Following my heart. Regardless of how impossible it seemed from the outside. Regardless of the heart breaking of leaving my boys in Canada. I still followed my heart.

Now as I reflect back over the year I am in total gratitude for all of the challenges and growth. I am amazed and so proud of my two sons. They have grown into the most amazing young men. From time to time I hear of their successes and their acts of kindness and love. I place my hand on my heart and say “thank you God for such amazing sons.” I was reminded by God lately that I was only a “caretaker” of my boys. A Guide to assist them into their lives. Wow! I was attaching so much to being  a mom. I required to let them go out into their lives and live them. And they are. Both are having huge success in everything that they do. I am so proud of both of you Steven and Brendan. Keep following your hearts. I will always be here to support you and love you.

As I stepped into my dreams and followed my heart, my heart continued to open. I found true love. True love with me. Then I found true love with the man of my dreams. He is everything I could possibly imagine. Loving, caring, nurturing, funny, open hearted, adoring and so much more. Yet I have only had Success in love with myself and with this man because I chose to Say YES to me regardless of how hard it looked like from the outside.

What does Success mean to me? Success means following my heart.  Loving me first. Being surrounded by love. Having a business that is authentic and integral and from the heart. Assisting women all over the world to step into their lives fully and with ease. Supporting them with love as they do say YES. Living in a home that is close to nature and the water. Having my home full of peace, joy, love and laughter. Never having to worry if we have enough. Always having more than enough so I can share with my family and assist them in living their dreams. Having an amazing man beside me who supports me. Who adores me and loves me and provides for me. Makes me feel safe. Who makes me feel like the most amazing and beautiful woman on this planet. Who, no matter what I can always depend on.  Who loves my children like they are his own.  Who we raise a family together, side by side.  Success to me simply means to be connected to my heart and following it all the time. What does Success mean to you?

Much love and light from Paris and Bretagne, France
