September 2006


I will not die an unlived life.
I will not live in fear
of falling or catching fire.
I choose to inhabit my days,
to allow my living to open me,
to make me less afraid,
more accessible,
to loosen my heart
until it becomes a wing,
a torch, a promise.
I choose to risk my significance,
to live so that which came to me as a seed
goes to the next as a blossom,
and that which came to me as a blossom,
goes on as a fruit.
- Dawna Markova

One week ago, I witnessed the birth of my nephew. I was speechless and awe-struck, as my mind struggled to catch up with the joy in my heart. Seeing a miracle happen before my very eyes changed me forever, nudging me to look beyond my often limited scope. Better yet, it urged me on to action.

Life is a precious gift of being... not to be wasted wondering what to do with it.

This fall, I invite you to lighten up and live a bit more 'carelessly.' To stand hand-in-hand with your fears while smiling down upon them, grateful for the elixir of courage they offer. To sever any ties to the quarrelsome relatives of reason that dampen your passions and keep you from acting. To release your grasp on the invisible life preservers that keep you safe from drowning in the ocean of your heart's desire.

Your success relies on your willingness to risk your significance and live a life where what moves you is your guiding light. As always, the message is the same. Discover everyday bliss. Create everyday magic. And smile every chance you get. Your life is a miracle unfolding, one choice at a time.

Each fall promises new adventures, and I support YOU in creating opportunities to shine. Join me on Sunday evenings beginning in September, and discover how Sensation Matters in your life. Sign up for Portland's first hoopdance class series: The HoopGirl Workout. Order a hoop that sparkles with the colors that bring out the shine in you. Or, book a private session - Nia, Hoop, Life Coaching - devoted completely to you.

Should you wait to bring your future to life?... Or will you make a choice today that will inspire your heart to bear fruit? The butterflies in your stomach are to be expected. It's the applause of a thousand angels urging your potential into being.

Love & Live Boldly, Candice
