In January, I learned how important it is to take baby steps toward manifesting living your Life Purpose. Every day you make hundreds of choices, and they either move you toward your dreams or away from them.

In February we talked a lot about money and facilitated workshops, and I had the opportunity to have Barbie Dallmann on the radio. I had a huge insight and became the CEO of my money. I learned that my money really wants to work for me.

March was all about intuition and following your heart. I learned it can be painful… but ultimately following your heart is the only way to be on your path.

In April, Michelle went to the SobCon, and I learned that it’s important to think bigger than you think…

May taught me that there are no mistakes, only choices. We learn from our choices…our actions give us an experience… Perspective is everything.

June was all about adversity and how, if we allow the troubles in our lives to teach us something, we will learn a great deal. Adversity is not so bad after all and can actually confirm our Life Purpose.

The most important thing I learned in July is that not everyone loves to be coached by me.  I’m such a natural at it, that I find myself coaching even when I’m not asked to. I never thought I’d irritate someone by living my life purpose, and I certainly didn’t think it would be me irritating myself. I stopped that in July!

August taught me to cut out all the crap from my life. Give up excuses, start taking back my power by identifying all the Myths, Lies, and Excuses people use for not living their Divine Purpose. We offered a free report. You can have a copy of it if you want.

In September we discussed the myths report in an audio podcast… You can have a copy of that too! We integrated the most common myths and they are key to living your purpose!

October was the most interesting lesson, I learned that you should not use the word “naked” in a post unless you want some weird people looking at your website!

In November I learned that the reason for creating a vision for living your purpose is to put you on an emotional path of creation. Keeping that vision in the forefront of your life will keep your vision alive.

In December, I learned that unless you keep your vision as a focal point for your life, it might just slip by. Then again, it might not. I also learned that even if you meet your goal with moments to spare, you need to start all over again with 2009! It’s a journey!
