Heading to bed and tears welling up in my eyes. Part of the reason I show up in the world as I do is because I want to support the next generation of young women who are coming up in the world. I often didn’t find the support I needed as I was growing up: soulful, aware and creative. So part of my mission, besides supporting adults release fears, awakening & owning their INTUITION so they can fulfill their soul purpose\u2026is a vision for young women leaders. To this end I have been facilitating empowerment training with the Bella Abzug Young Women’s Leadership Institute.<\/p>\n
Be kind to our kids and teens. Be loving even when they are scared and lash out.
\nGive of yourself when you are in their presence, you never know how deeply you are affecting their lives.<\/p>\n
SHOW UP for them. They need us. As parents, as aunts and uncles as guides and teachers.<\/p>\n
I just received this.<\/p>\n
“Hello Vanessa,
\nI hope you enjoyed Panama and the rest of your summer!<\/p>\n
I know this is late but I feel it is important to share with you how much you really helped me in BALI. I spoke a little about how I suffered from depression and how BALI has helped me with it, but It was more than just that.<\/p>\n
In the exercise that you ran in which our older selves whispered something in my ear my older self told me not to kill myself. It came from nowhere, I feel as if it was the deepest thought inside me. I have had those thoughts before and after I heard that from myself I felt optimistic if anything about my future. In that I found who I want to be and who I am now. I apologize if this is a little too serious, but you drastically impacted my life in those short 12 days and I am so happy that we crossed paths in that way.”<\/p>\n
Tears of gratitude because life is this elusive, this beautiful and this synchronistic.<\/p>\n
Smile at a child. Guide a teen. Take them seriously. Remember what it was like.<\/p>\n
Serve them with love, integrity and compassion. They are the ever-evolving now ( future.)<\/p>\n
sending you love,
