Illuminated Life Coaching | Melissa Kay Allen Illuminated Life Coaching helps women who are stuck in the muck of limiting beliefs and old identities transform into their best selves.

On this Election Day, I know Oneness. I know this infinite energy field of Life weaves in, around, and through every single one of us, through the expanse of time (for it is infinite and timeless.) I also know that as individualized experiences and manifestations of that Energy, we are unique; our points of views and processes are unique. And its easy to forget the unseen side - the Oneness. The connection. The Allness. On this Election Day, I know Oneness. We will get through this together, one way or another.

My good friend (and coach) Janet Redford Coaching has written a powerful, honest and heart-wide-open book about the experience of being a secondary survivor. She shares the tools and practices that helped her and her family move from struggle to strength. If this resonates with you or someone you know, please forward this information to them. Thank you!

Sometimes life delivers unexpected blows that takes you off your feet and shatters your life. From that place of brokenness and struggle - emerges scars of strength, resilience, and beauty.

Oh how easy it is to forget.... As moms, we have have expectations and pressures (both our own and society's) to create good children; that any 'failings' they encounter are somehow our fault and must be fixed. We have to give them (and ourselves!) space and grace to explore and try and fail and try again and discover and embrace and expel and mold THEMSELVES. We get to be witness; we get to be companion; we get to be a soft place of comfort and encouragement when they need the rest or reset. If this resonates with you, take a deep breath and allow in a pause, and exhale the gratitude of this awareness and the intention to be Love In Action - that's truly the greatest gift of all.

I am a - and you can be too!!

What if Life is supposed to have dark spots here and there? What if those darker moments are where seeds for renewal are planted? What if we innately know how to find the light, even when we are navigating in the dark, just like a sprouting seed knows to burrow through the soil to find the sun? What if Life is a path of upward spirals, and even the unstable and "rotten" paths are really strong enough to build upon? What if the dark rings are actually beauty marks? Embrace your Wholeness - Life is a gift; every beautiful, challenging, tumultuous, soaring, glittery moment is a moment that comes to pass. Darkness comes to pass. We can built beautiful things on that moment, too.
