About 3 years ago a friend invited me to do an exercise which involved imagining that I had six months left to live <\/strong>and what I would do with my life in those last six months.<\/p>\n

Before I did the exercise I assumed that if I had six months left to live I would spend my last six months with my loved ones. Duh. It was a no brainer.<\/p>\n

But still I did the exercise and was very surprised to see, in my mind’s eye, the image of me wearing a travel backpack and a big smile on my face.<\/p>\n

It shocked me.<\/em><\/p>\n

Is that really how I would spend my last six months on this planet?! Exploring it? What about my loved ones?!<\/p>\n

In spite of the inner questioning I let that image sit with me for a few weeks and I could feel that, indeed, travel with a backpack was a heart’s desire of mine. A heart’s desire that was not being fulfilled.<\/p>\n

It was hard to imagine leaving my business (and my life) for a few months. However, I knew that was what I had to do otherwise this heart’s desire that was clearly expressing itself to me would act out negatively in my business (and my life).<\/p>\n

It’s been my experience that when we know that we have a heart’s desire and we aren’t taking active steps to make that desire happen, the ‘not taking action’ affects every area of our life, including our business.<\/p>\n

It’s not pretty when that happens.<\/p>\n

So 2 years ago I began to plan a 2.5 month trip for 2010. I had a lot of fear about leaving my pet sitting business even though my managers are so very competent and amazing. I knew my business would be in good hands but still I had the fear.<\/p>\n

I’m so aware that the real goodies in business and life come from feeling the fear and doing it anyway.<\/p>\n

Knowing that didn’t ease the fear though!<\/p>\n

But still I took the actions to make the trip happen. I went on my trip and I had an incredible time and everything went well in the business. I even extended my time for an extra month.<\/p>\n

When I got back last year I knew I wanted to do it again. This time for 5 months.<\/p>\n

So here I am!<\/p>\n

I’m in Bali writing this to you now. I’ve been traveling for nearly 4 months and have 5 weeks left.<\/p>\n

It’s been an incredible journey.<\/em><\/p>\n

I’ve been doing a little work while I’m traveling: I’m writing my second book for pet sitters and dog walkers. I’m planning on having my second book available in December 2011. More later!<\/p>\n

I will be offering coaching sessions again in early August and will be offering a teleclass in August as well. <\/p>\n

In future blog posts I will be including some tips to getting to your own heart’s desire and how your business can support.<\/p>\n

Wishing you a wonderful month of June. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
