  The following was sent out in email by Julia Aziz yesterday. Good reflection! I don't know about you, but I'm pretty tired of the "new year, new you" rhetoric.  While I'm a big believer in the power of setting intentions and making commitments to the small steps of change, this whole "ready, set, go" of the new year feels more like pressure than inspiration. I'm personally feeling more of an ease in, see what happens, take it one step at a time kind of vibe. With sadness, disappointment, and weariness so rampant right now, it's hard to get excited about the future. It reminds me of a question my aunt Judy asked me last week: "how do you know what to do for people who are suffering when everybody is having such a hard time?" I told her I don't see it as my job to fix anyone or to make their problems go away. Thank goodness for that, as there are plenty of people out there who will tell you they have the magic solution if only you f...

  From Julia Aziz, author of  Lessons of Labor : "I was listening to Elizabeth Gilbert on a podcast recently, and she said something along the lines of “What's going to help you not be an angry, tired woman?” I love this question! And I feel like the  Release & Empower Women's Group Program  is my answer to it." Read more at Julia's site  HERE :  For more posts about Julia and her book, click  HERE .

Today's blog post is provided by Julia Aziz, author of Lessons of Labor. It’s been interesting to watch all the expertise being shared in a situation that almost no one alive today has ever lived through. Yes, decisions need to be made quickly in a crisis, and we have to use the limited information available to make them. Leaders, especially community-minded, heart-centered, intelligent leaders, are genuinely needed to set the tone, and there’s a lot of societal pressure on leaders to speak with the voice of authority. But what I’m not hearing enough of in the general discourse is, “I don’t know.” Read the rest of this very interesting post HERE . Meet Julia Aziz. Listen to Julia (podcast) on March 20, 2020.
