Its funny how certain things or events in your life can make such an impact on you. For me it was the Northwest Public Power Association (NWPPA) Women's conference of 2017. This is a fantastic conference to teach valuable leadership, communication and other skills. This was my first time attending this conference and I remember that even as an extrovert I felt overwhelmed by the sheer amount of people I was interacting with.
The one thing I remember clear as a bell even to this day is the speaker, Fawn Germer, that changed my life forever. She stood before us, talking about her book , giving us advice and mentorship. Then she said one phrase that made my brain stop. "Don't let security be your dangerous anchor". I instantly stopped listening, I thought "What?" I mulled it over a couple of times. I thought, "Wait, I don't do that at work. Why do I do that at home?"
That simple phase caused me to do a lot of thinking over several days. It was quite the eye opener for me. I decided I would not let the fear of security hold me back anymore. This preceded my asking my husband to move out and began my journey to discovering who I am. Of course, my boss threatened to never allow me to go to anymore conferences again, lol. (He does though!)
If you want to check out Fawn Germer, I found her blog here: Fawn Germer's blog site
Love and Light,
