Hmmmmm…. Winter~Snow~Cold… again and again and again.  I have a feeling that the Winter of 2014 will be one for the books.  Our Global Warming Goddess is now on the lam heading for the North Pole, thus missing her Opportunity to be the star of the season.

The word for this week is OPPORTUNITY.   Opportunity presents itself at the perfect time; it is a choice, an invitation to broaden and grow.  We can all look back on the parched, dusty road of Opportunities missed… the “should-a’s” and the “would-a’s”; the regrets and rues.  The “Why didn’t I” and “If only” drills.  But often the roadblocks and obstacles of Opportunities are blessings in disguise helping us to stretch and overcome; to take that next difficult step.

We are offered a cup filled with Opportunities every minute of every day.  And how we receive that cup depends on our attitude. We can take the Opportunity to not judge, to be kinder, to reach out to someone when it would be more comfortable to brush them off.

Opportunity is a call to action…to do something or to do nothing.  The choice is ours, and often it can be the wrong choice, landing us deeper in the mud hole.  But guess what?  More Opportunity is waiting there!  We are never without it.  When the circumstances are right, and the “Window of Opportunity” presents itself, NOW is the time to take a leap of faith; to overcome the fear of judgment, rejection, and failure; to “loosen the grip” of resistance and step out!

“Don’t’ get too comfortable with who you are at any given time- you may miss the Opportunity to become who you want to be.”  Jon Bon Jovi

With love,
