This is where it all begins. A 52-week journey of personal reflection and it’s all about you. Each week, we will explore the agreements we have with ourselves. We will craft a larger vision for our lives, one that we feel good about. This is about you taking 100% responsibility for your life for your relationships, and for your results.
You know if it’s time.
You inherently know if you are satisfied with what is. You know if it is time for growth and expansion or forward movement. If there is any part of you that desires a new or different experience or perspective, I invite to you to join us. This is your personal invitation.
Every week we will explore, question and discover. We will have access to weekly inspiration, coaching, guidance and resources from some incredible leaders. They will provide clarity, structure and accountability. You will learn and grow from this experience. This is the most important subject you will ever make time for – YOU…
Please feel free to visit this page for a weekly snapshot and to listen to each weeks audio soundbite from the book “My Agreements with Me”. For a more in-depth experience and a higher level of personal commitment, join the journey.
Sending you lots of love as you embrace your truth…
This week is about the agreements you have with yourself. It is about consciously creating an INSPIRED VISION for your life and moving forward with inspired action that is sustainable, integrative and achieves true transformation.
This is where it all starts. It’s an agreement you have with yourself and it’s not about anyone or anything else. It’s not about right or wrong or good or bad- It is simply an opportunity to be real with yourself and to start right where you are. To honestly take an inventory of your life and your results to determine where there are things in your life that are ready to grow.
A “pact” is a solemn and sacred agreement that you make with yourself. As you contemplate what that might be, remember that this journey is about you. This is not about your parents, children, spouse, friends or significant other, it’s about you. Now would be the time to release their influences and ideas about who and what you should be. This agreement is for you and you alone. It is a journey of self-discovery and all that is needed is you and your willingness to explore.
So, what is the agreement or pact you have with yourself? And do you even have one? Maybe you don’t. This might be the first time that an agreement with yourself has ever been suggested. It is also possible that you’ve been getting by day to day, doing life and feeling just fine about where you are. Or you may have been so consumed with taking care of everyone and everything else, that you never really thought about yourself or what agreement you might have with you. Maybe you have goals and those are your agreements? They might be written down, memorized and kept track of- although there are other areas that you struggle with. Either way, the opportunity here is to create some agreements that you would like to make and keep with yourself.
Taking the time to write out your thoughts and new agreements with yourself has more benefits than you could possibly know. When you use your imagination and creativity to design and craft a vision that gets you excited, when you can feel yourself tingling on the inside with the possibility of it all, your vision begins working on how to find its way to you.
When you begin to deliberately create new agreements with yourself, you ignite a spark of probability that has within it the power to make real that which you could only conceive of. Don’t make light of this opportunity, if you could know the power of writing down your thoughts and your words, you would want to make sure you took time for this exercise.If you could wave the magic wand, what might you have more, better, new or different in your life?
It doesn’t matter if you do or do not currently have a vision for your life, or if this conversation is new to you or not. This is an important invitation for you to start this journey of self-discovery wherever you are on your path.
These are the major areas we in our lives that we explore. If you could have it any way you wanted it. What would it look and feel like? Take the time to write out a vision for your life. Include everything.
Health/Wellbeing * Relationships * Career/Education * Contribution/Spirituality
Your vision is the big picture. It is your roadmap including your dreams and desires. You can write it as though it’s five years in the future and you are looking back at all of the amazing things you have accomplished or you can state it “as if” in the present tense. It is encouraged that you spend some quality time thinking about what you would have in your life. You don’t need to know how or why- just get clear about what you’d like to have and create and get excited about it. We are setting a stage for the future you.
Journal about what you desire to create using the Creating a Vision for your life PDF. This will be a guide to walk you through each part of your life including recognizing your gifts and talents, goals and dreams, beliefs and intentions and your purpose and vision.
Consider meditation or quiet time before you start. There is a lot of opportunity for reflection- notice what comes up, get deliberate about what you desire to create and focus on moving in the direction of what feels good.
Claim your year and and as you look at your values, non-negotiables and milestones, begin to craft an action plan that supports your vision. When you focus your time and energy on all of the areas that you are ready to grow; you will find that solutions, resources and answers will be begin to show up.
Spell out your dreams and goals, include a “Desires” page and every time you have a desire to be, do or have something, write it down. Take honest and deliberate time for consciously creating this year. It’s never too late to start!

Are you ready for new results?
It’s about living your vision. It’s about being in alignment- when what we think, say feel and do is congruent. It’s about being your authentic and standing in your power- whatever that means for you.
As we explore our word with ourselves, we begin to see where we are in and out of alignment.
We take the opportunity to see the what clarity the contrast in our lives is providing us.
When someone’s heart is protected it feels safe to be isolated and keep others at bay. Often times we resist the very thing that would have the capacity within it to make a shift or a difference.
When we begin to look at situations, life people, and ourselves with a new perspective, everything changes.
Of all the opportunities we have to learn about ourselves and others- Listening is probably the greatest of them all. How might you listen in a way that invites the person in front of you to share what is on their heart and mind. There is no substitute for authentic listening.
As we seek to understand, our perspective is altered— when forgiveness is extended, it allows us to see with eyes of compassion. This is the ultimate elixir, love heals all things and makes way for something new to be created.
What is seeking to be released, redeemed or renewed with you or your experience?
As we continue to explore, we talk about how character, honesty and integrity are all defined by my word and the importance of having a word that can be counted on. How is your word with yourself and others and how does the contrast in your life provide clarity for what is wanting to be expressed?
What are your promises to yourself? Do you commit to be the best person you could possibly be? What if your promises included leading with purpose and honor and values and unconditional love. What might transform in your world if your promise was to yourself first?
When we decide to really investigate how we respond and react to people and situations, we are gifted with the insight that everything starts from within. It is incredibly empowering to take responsibility in such a way that it leaves everyone else of the hook …
Our words have power.
The power to create, the power to heal, the power to forgive and accept, and equally there is a power to shame, blame, hurt, manipulate, deify and destroy.
How you use your words with yourself and others is affecting all you do.
