Your Intention
As a family, we've just started watching ‘Outer Banks’, a teen action-adventure mystery series trending on Netflix.
Apart from the Olympics, there are few movies and shows that we can all agree to watch as a family. Josh usually falls asleep mid way through a show in the most exciting part, so I'm grateful we've found the right mix of action to keep him awake.
This series is entertaining and, by episode 2, has a surprisingly valuable compass as a key part of the storyline.
It's got me thinking how crucial a compass can be when you're heading into the unknown outdoors.
When you know your destination, and have a map (or chart if you're on the water) to work out your compass bearing/s, your compass can guide you.
But, as you move, the terrain or water is constantly changing and nudging you off course.
On top of that, there are all kinds of obstacles that you've got to avoid, anything from rivers, rocks, ridges to reefs and rips.
You need to keep an eye on your compass, adjusting your movements ALL THE TIME, just to keep on track.
Yet, with focus and attention with each step you take, you'll get to your desired destination.
You'll look back and discover that the path you took was a crazy pattern of zig zags.
It's just like when you set an intention.
It keeps you focused but allows you to be flexible, and adjust to what pops up on your path - all the challenges and changes in the environment.
The path you take may not be straight, but it can provide experiences that exceed your expectations and go beyond what you believe is possible.
This it what's happened with ‘A Night to Celebrate Radiant Women’, the event I've co-created with Jen & Nicola as the Wild Beauty & Pleasure Alliance. It's now been rescheduled for the 4th time!!
Whilst it may've been postponed, our intention to honour and celebrate women, lift each other higher, and encourage the reclamation of pleasure, wild beauty and freedom, is being met in surprising and delightful ways.
The extra time has allowed more Radiant Women to become involved, given us the chance to celebrate even more incredible women, and seen us create some exciting new online offerings to suit these crazy times!
This Thursday night you can join us for a free Zoom dance party at 8pm, and on Tuesday 17th August at 7.45pm for our next monthly Radiant Women Sisterhood Soirée. More details are below and in the links.
It's my intention that if you're thirsty for authentic connection, love having fun, and are looking to expand your edges, that you jump in.
You'll be on your way to finding your true North.
