I was dealing with an IRS levy that was just lifted. This meant funds were low but I thought, heck, I am in a hole now I can’t do anything but improve my situation. I needed a kick in the butt to tell you the truth. I needed a change and Rhonda appeared in my email inbox.

What made me ponder this a day or two was, would I have the TIME and the COMMITMENT to start and complete this course. Over 30 days … and at 8 am? I am NOT a morning person by any stretch of the imagination. So even with money being scarce, time and commitment being in question, I signed up and the rest is history. I only missed one morning session as I slept through the alarm that morning! I committed on day one and stayed in high gear all month. And I was an active daily participant in the Facebook community.

“I thought that attending this course would feel like a diet… but it wasn’t. I looked forward to the morning videos and the lift they gave my whole day. I’m glad to have the recordings to review too. It was wonderful going through the class with other people, knowing I wasn’t alone.”

I see now that if I am rejected it is not personal, just that someone disagrees with my philosophies – and the rejection means that I am staying true to me (as opposed to mutating myself to please everyone else). An unbelievable eye-opener.

My relationships started to change too. Last summer I broke off a 5 year (very unhealthy, unloving) relationship. In it, I had mutated [myself] to get love, which never came. The result was that my partner and I had to sell a co-owned home around the holidays. I was able to nurture myself through that difficult and stressful process. As Rhonda taught me, “take care of yourself, be gentle with yourself.”
