You Have The Answer.
Stepping Into Your Elegant Space.
We all have an elegant space – a place where we align mind, body and spirit to understand ourselves better. And this understanding unlocks the most powerful tool we have, the answer within us.
Monday, November 2, 2015
This is a re-run of the Inspiration for an Elegant Week, “You Have The Answer: Stepping Into Your Elegant Space.”
In 2012, 8 year old Vivienne Harr saw a photograph of two young African slave boys weighed down by huge pieces of rock strapped to their heads. They were holding hands. She said, “they should be playing,” and she vowed to free 500 of them.
Vivienne’s mission started with her heart but she also understood that compassion without action wouldn’t be enough. She tapped into her elegant space and found the answer: Setting up a lemonade stand with the help of her parents and younger brother.Today The Make A Stand Movement is a global phenomenon.
This amazingly elegant young girl found her own answer. Her example reminds us that we are way more powerful than we know when we put faith and trust in our intuition and act on what we know is the right thing to do. She trusted intuitively that everything we need we already have to succeed.
In this video, “You Have The Answer” we see that the only control we have in this world is the control we have over ourselves. When we step into the silence, stillness and solitude of our elegant space we can access the power of our intuition and discover answers, that we never knew we had, that can reshape our lives and reshape the world.

Say It!
Ask For What You Want.
Not speaking up for what we need is a major cause of unhappiness. But once we see that asking improves our relationships and helps others, it can give us the courage and clarity to speak out effectively.
Monday, July 27, 2015
“Say It” looks at why we find it so hard to ask for what we need when it’s one of the main causes for unhappiness and disappointment in our relationships. By misguidedly believing that it’s selfish and inappropriate to ask, we tend to ask ineffectively or don’t ask at all. When we examine how the “ripple effect” of asking allows others to be an authentic part of our lives, and by meeting our needs they met theirs, it gives us the courage, conviction and clarity we need to ask in a way that will lead to a more productive and peaceful life.

The Stirrings Of Spring

If we are to navigate this life elegantly with mind, body and spirit aligned we need regular maintenance – like an engine that needs regular check-ups, clean oil and a full petrol tank – we need reminders, a support system and practical inspiration.
I’m always being asked for advice and nuggets of elegant wisdom so I thought it would be helpful for all of us if I put a weekly series together that reminds us about the Elegant tools at our disposal.
