			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3><span style="color: #000080;"><em>The old skin has to be shed before the new one can come&#8230;We must be willing to get rid of the life we’ve planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us.” ~<strong>Joseph Campbell</strong></em></span></h3>
<p><span style="color: #000080;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">Change is profoundly in the air this summer.  I have a  had a number of past coaching clients contact me in the past few  weeks,either seeking a tune-up or in a total melt down. It’s permeating everything and everybody,  and the next turn (personally and collectively) is,  at best, unknow</span>n.</p>
<h3><span style="color: #000080;"><em><em><a href="http://sherylsever.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/butterfly.jpg"><img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-2571" title="butterfly" src="http://sherylsever.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/butterfly-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="214" height="214" /></a></em></em></span></h3>
<p><strong><span style="color: #000080;">Not-knowing is one of the more evolved practices of personal leadership. </span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #000080;">Can you trust and allow?  Do you have the courage to simply say <em>“ I don’t know.&#8221;</em></span></strong></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;"> When dancing with change, what’s important is that you are willing to let go of everything that has felt comfortable, familiar- this includes all those habits and plans that your ego is clinging to for it’s own survival. </span></p>
<p><em><span style="color: #000080;">Yes, it is a death . . . it is transformation. </span></em></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #000080;">Breathe  into and accept this. </span><br />
<span style="color: #000080;">Exhale the doubt, fear, and uncertainty.</span><br />
<span style="color: #000080;">Become  naked in your own truth.</span><br />
<span style="color: #000080;">Imagine,  feel, see, smell and hear the new life (business, career, home, etc)  waiting for you.</span><br />
<span style="color: #000080;"> </span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #000080;">Stay curious</span><br />
<span style="color: #000080;">Share your truth  compassionately, consciously and wisely.</span><br />
<span style="color: #000080;">Trust and be open to receive.</span></strong></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">For  the past almost 7 years, I have been going through what I call a ‘slow  death” letting go of the family members and friends that have passed  over, recovering from a serious auto-accident, leaving the spiritual  community I was a member of for over 22 years, along with two beautiful  homes,  and so much more. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">As an entrepreneur, teacher, writer, coach, these experiences have deepened my ability to guide others through intense change (personally and professionally.  As I reflect upon what seemed insurmountable at the time, I am now grateful for the experiences that allow me to serve you even more fully with a <strong>complimentary coaching session through July 15.</strong><br />
