The Pivot Year
I think you deserve flowers.
And chocolates
and spa days, if you swing that way.
I think you deserve unexpected surprises
and little gifts
and notes that make you snort water out your nose.
And when you’re doing something big
(or huge
or vast
or bigger than that)
you deserve them even more.
even more.
Even though you’re going to tell me
that you are too busy to stop and smell the roses
and too frazzled to remember
to schedule spa time (until
it’s too late)
and besides,
it seems a little much
at your stage in life
to think that anyone will remember
to send you flowers
when you Do That Big Thing,
because really, no one knows except you
how big the Thing really was.
But I’m your coach.
And I know.
I’m with you when you sob in frustration
and when you finish your first half marathon,
and when you launch your big adventure,
and when you write the second chapter
of your second book,
which everyone is taking for granted
because you already wrote the first one,
right?
I’m the one who hears
how you feel stupid for feeling annoyed
that you got a job
when you were almost ready to fly solo,
and how blissfully happy you are that you stopped
doing that one stupid thing
that was keeping your YES
at arm’s length.
I know. Because we talk.
Every week, sometimes twice.
Because you send me email
so that someone knows if you’re doing what you said you would do.
Because you take pictures
of the wild scrawlings of your
brainstorm tornadoes
and send them along with
notes you made afterwards
about the epiphany you had about why you need to
go with pink instead of yellow
in your next umbrella.
And I get it.
I get the pictures.
I get why the umbrella is important.
I also get the fun stuff,
the funky stuff,
the subtle undertow that becomes a riptide
you cannot resist
stuff.
And I love it.
And I love you for it.
I mean it.
I fucking LOVE my clients.
And so in this year
I will even show up.
Once.
For a couple of days.
On your doorstep
or on the doorstep of your choosing
for a full-on
dive-in
holy-shit
drown in the epiphanies
and then discover you can breathe underwater
visit.
In person.
With tea.
And the aforementioned
chocolate.
Because I love you.
And I want to see you burst forth
in the way that time lapse photography
brings crocuses
out of the snow.
Hell, yes.
I am.
We are.
There are things that need saying
and I will say them.
There are bubbles that need bursting
and I will burst them
but only so the technicolor can shine through.
There are things that need knowing
and you will know them.
You are ready.
And your heart is true.
This is intimacy
This is attention
This is focus
This is power
This is fun
and this is ease.
This is the year
when you get to know
that someone is paying attention.
This is the year
when you get to know
that someone is on your side,
in your court,
in your corner.
This is the year
that you practice asking for what you want
and I practice giving it to you
in unexpected ways
so you can practice receiving the bounty
and abundance
and gifts of the universe
with grace and gratitude and joy;
this is the year
that you can stop feeling suspicious
that you can stop wondering
if every gift comes with strings.
No strings.
That’s not how it works.
I poke.
I prod.
I laugh. We laugh.
You recognize what you are
astonished to discover is true.
You move faster
than you thought possible–
as fast as you want–
and you come to trust your own power
and your own gut
and your own pleasures
as true and real and wise.
This is the year
that I’ve got your back.
The year starts now
or at Beltane.
begin at the beginning.
find your beginning.
There are only five of you.
And by Mayday next,
(or in your own year and a day)
you will be the force that changes seasons,
incarnate.
You will be diving forward
with confidence
and abandon
ready.
ready.
ready.
For everything.
This
is the place
where it all
turns
around.
You know you’re ready.
It’s going to be big.
It’s going to change your world.
You don’t even know how yet.
But you don’t need to know.
You also don’t need to do it alone.
It’s your pivot year.
