For those of you who haven’t heard of her, SARK is Susan Ariel Rainbow Kennedy’s encouraging and enthusiastic coaching persona.  You can find out more about SARK at Planet SARK.  SARK has put together a her first teleclass, called “Dream Boogie with SARK,” and the first session was last evening.  I HIGHLY recommend it!  You can actually still join in and listen to the first class as an audio recording to catch up.  The video below is our week 1 Boogie Burst from SARK.  It’ll give you a little flavor of her style…

I’ll say it again – WOW!!!  Between the online community of supportive women (men are invited here too, but I haven’t seen any in the directory yet) that she’s brought together, the great handout that we were given to explore our Dream before the class even started, and her enthusiastic and clear leadership and coaching style on the call, I have to say that I’m impressed.  SARK not only admits all of her past failings and missteps, she is actually proud of them because they make her more human and accessible.  Marney Makridakis of Artella was my first exposure to that kind of honesty, humility, and humanity in someone who has accomplished so much.

Between the great examples of these two wonderful women, it feels easier than ever to forgive myself for some of the major missteps I’ve made and blind spots that I haven’t been willing to look into that have been a major part of the situation that I now find myself in.  I haven’t felt comfortable admitting to my own part in what’s happened out loud, especially since I’ve locked myself into the role of victim in this situation.

The energy is really shifting and changing now – well, it has been for some time as I began the process of taking my power back – and as it changes it is freeing up energy that I can use to propel myself forward.  I don’t have to condone everyone’s actions in this, but I can choose to forgive myself and the others involved and begin the process of letting go of the old and moving into the new.

The situation very likely won’t be over for some time, so I’m sure I’ll be going in and out of my currently enlightened point of view as I progress in resolving it.  However, if I can take everyone’s advice of yesterday and be gentle with myself while I handle things, make time to nurture myself as I go through the process, and make time for creativity along the way to help brighten up my outlook, the changes will be more likely go easier and smoother for me than otherwise.

So, after posting this, I’m off to cut some glass and work a bit more on my last two ARTbundance Coach Training certificate requirements!  Progress progresses!
