Do you have those moments where you float outside of your body and you get to see your life? Like you actually get to see you in your life. I had that experience in April 2011. I had just completed the first phase of a project I was working on. My colleague and I had just discovered the real definition of scope creep. We were exhausted. Worn out. This moment was supposed to be special – it was after all completion. And yet there I was, floating above it all and wondering what I was doing there in the first place. I had gone through the hard lessons of living a life that was not authentic to me. I had learned this lesson already. I still had the scar on my heart and on my soul to prove it. As I looked down at myself feigning interest for what I had just accomplished, I noticed I was tense, anxious and possibly angry even. I was not where I wanted to be.
My light had gone out. It’s hard for me to admit this out loud but I know now that’s what it was - I was on auto-pilot. Completely checked out of this particular aspect of my life. My work. I was going through all the motions but my heart was not in it. What I was doing didn’t matter to me and even harder to swallow, it wouldn’t matter to the world. I wasn’t contributing somehow. This was painful because it is integral to my being. I wake up wondering how can I be of service each day and I was certain that my work had to hold the answer to that question.
Enter Danielle LaPorte. Fire Starter. I have been following Danielle Laporte’s writings/teachings/sermons for some time. I have even written about her on our sister site - She Should Read™. Danielle’s words through WhiteHotTruth.com {now her eponymous blog – DanielleLaPorte.com} have guided me along the journey from that out of body experience to where I am today – finishing a book, booking speaking engagements, helping women and having a very clear map of where I want my life to go. She helped me refine the vision, organize my thinking, develop a plan and finally… ignited action. There is not only light shining brightly on this aspect of my life now but there is fire – warm, strong, bright and purposeful. Fire started.

The Fire Starter Sessions: A Soulful + Practical Guide to Creating Success On Your Own Terms.
