As I’m nearing the final stretch, I want to share a sneak peek of my upcoming book, The Alchemy of Choice, that’ll give you a flavor of what it’s about.
When I speak of choice, I’m referring to an intentional or conscious commitment to do something that matters to you that has the ability to create great momentum and great impact. Action comes after you’ve made your choice. After you know why. After you’ve committed.
Althea Branton made the choice, after having her son, to change her life as she knew it, leave her marriage, and go-it-alone with her son. Her deep inner knowing gave her the confidence that this was the right choice for her, to walk away, to leave with nothing and to start fresh. Her story and choice is an empowering message for other women to see what’s possible for them.

To release shame, the most powerful choice we can make is to forgive ourselves. To release resentment, the most powerful choice we can make is to forgive others for how their choices affected us.
Finding the compassion to forgive yourself can often be more challenging than forgiving another.
Each morning, if you’re feeling stuck or unhappy with where your life is, you have the power to make a new choice. From that choice possibility awaits.
A choice is a conscious commitment to do something that matters to you. Once made, a choice has the ability to expand what’s possible for you while also making a great impact. As you make a choice, you take the first step on a journey that allows the ball of momentum to begin rolling.
Unfolding is one of my favorite words — it’s full of possibility. What may come because you made a choice? Who may you meet? What opportunities will present themselves.
As you make a choice, you begin walking with two feet. Your left foot walks in action, with purpose and at your command. Your right foot walks in openness, attentive and receptive to inklings and happenstance. Your left foot represents masculine, doing energy, and takes the necessary action to bring your choice to fruition. Your right foot, more feminine in nature, represents observing, noticing and allowing. It enjoys the meandering and surrenders control, allowing the present to unfold instead of forcefully shaping it. Just as the power of seeing with both eyes enhances your visual perception, walking consciously with both feet allows you to sense the full spectrum of what’s available to you. You have one foot focused on action, the other on what is magically unfolding, and you walk with balance and awareness.
