Canvas Joy

Did I tell you that I've transitioned to part-time status at my "corporate job" and am now working on enhancing a coaching and organizational development consulting business (www.viewfindercoaching.com)?  I'm in my fourth week (but who's counting...) and have already learned a great deal about starting a business and the way I work....  amongst my learning has been to challenge my "should" statements.... like "I should be at this level of performance by this time......," to plan my work and work my plan, and to seize opportunities when they appear.

For those of you in the Maryland/ DC area, this Easter weekend has been picture perfect with sunshine, low humidity, blossoming trees, and hope in the air!  For the next week or so in DC, this is Cherry Blossom Festival and I decided to head down to DC yesterday.  In some respects, I felt like I was "playing hooky," but it felt great to have my bike, my camera, and some friends to share it with.

So, "Freedom...." comes in all shapes in forms....  for me, it was allowing myself the "freedom" to let go of "shoulding on myself," and to take in beauty, and the promise of spring!  I pray that you can allow yourself to do the same!

I welcome your thoughts and comments!
