If You Give Mary An Idea...



Ideas are contagious...catch some.


Well, clearly that March Un-Madness was an inspired idea because it is June 19th before I am back to a blog post. That was an idea that caught fire...in more ways than one. I have noticed in the last several months a byproduct of creativity...MORE creativity. The energy of creativity, the feel, taste, look, touch, sound of it puts me in mind of a beloved children's book series, If You Give A Mouse A Cookie, written by Laura Joffe Numeroff and illustrated by Felicia Bond. For those of you with children or a profession or passion that connects you to children's literature, you will have likely read one of these delightful tales. If not, check it out at the library because children's books are fabulous at reflecting the truth in an often amusing, poignant and utterly charming way.

I think you have a hunch as to where the story goes with my title "If You Give Mary an Idea" - though I must say, I'm as likely to be equally creative and inspired by a chocolate chip cookie. I promised I would share how the March Un-Madness went in February...I never suspected it would be so many months later. Well, it went just great. And for so many unexpected reasons. (Here is a great time to insert the ever important aphorism, "expect the unexpected." The "expected" outcome was to attract new clients to my coaching practice by offering a "name your own session price" and it did attract new clients. What was fabulous and unexpected was the amazing group of clients it attracted. This new group has inspired me to expand because of their deep and earnest desire to wake up to the beauty within and be their own bright lights in the world. A quick interjection! I LOVE all my clients. I feel incredibly blessed to support and inspire each of you as an intuitive coach and to watch your unfolding. The joyous parallel is this same support, inspiration and unfolding is what happens to me when I do my "work" with each of you.

As a result of their passions and their desires, the creative passion and spark was ignited and that led to a whole new series of offerings. So, the 'if you give Mary an idea in March' for "Un-Madness" this led to amazing new clients who wanted more, so this gave her an idea to start an intuitive coaching group in May inspired by her friend and fellow life coach Keisha Gallegos which led to Keisha and Mary creating and launching a four week Tele-Course to Power Up Your Gifts which had lots of intuitive exercises which is Mary's speciality which led clients to say "WOW" we want more of that which inspired The Intuitive Gym.

Whew...it has been an amazing several months both personally and professionally. Our beautiful daughter Emma turned 13 in February, my husband and life-partner Drew celebrated his 50th Birthday in March AND we celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary in May. Our son, Maxwell, turned 18 in April and just graduated from Archbishop Mitty High School. He is off to Santa Clara University in the fall, a full circle experience, as Drew and I graduated from Santa Clara, later married at the Mission and then had Max baptised there. Really, another Colored Circle moment. I have been aware of the pattern of colored circles showing up in my life for years and not noticing them. Not anymore. I know a colored circle moment when it happens. Stay tuned for more 'Colored Circle' moments featured on the blog and for more exciting milestones as we continue with 2011.

So, the observation of the "energy" of creativity brings to mind the law of attraction. When the creative spark is ignited, it will be a continuous "source" of inspiration. Where it goes and what it does is really exciting to be a part of. So, fill in the following blanks:



If You Give ___________ An ______________. What happens?



Here's my hunch. You have an "untold story within. Tell it."


I'll be back. Here come more ideas....................................!
