Evolution over Reinvention

I used to say that I was the queen of reinvention. Major career changes - no problem. Pack up the kids and move to another country - no problem. A new job or a new country was not only a great opportunity to leave behind what I no longer desired - it was the ideal do-over. After all, who doesn't love a blank slate? 

These days, I no longer resonate with the idea of reinvention. It holds an underlying vibe of needing to start from scratch because who we are right now, is not enough. 

What if we replace reinvention with becoming more of who we really are? 

Embracing all of the versions of myself allows me to celebrate the valuable lessons they have taught me. 

• My wild child rebel self who taught me to question authority and take chances.

• My mama self who discovered a boundless and unconditional love.

• My nature loving, tree hugger self who revealed to me where I best connect with God.

• My woo loving, hippie self who allows me to find magic in the everyday.

• My business badass self who has a wealth of experience and still so much to learn.
  

The work lies in reclaiming all of the pieces - those that have been loved and rejected, seen and unseen, criticized and celebrated. 

Evolution over reinvention.
