The first time someone tried to enroll me in the journey, my answer was "$2500? Certainly not!" I had my priorities. They were fixed. About the ONLY way I would shift from "that's not possible" would be my husband asking me. Even then, I had all kinds of restrictions about when. That was me before the trainings... I wasn't free. I had put away that adventurer that I had been as a child.
I remember in breakthrough 1 realizing I was laughing out loud, not caring a bit about appropriate or correct. I remember in advanced running to the bathroom when the electricity went out, and realizing I wasn't afraid of the dark at all. And my ALI... Mary Sue, standing for me to get something important out of it, to breakthrough. No matter what calm, controlled responses she got from me, she stayed with it till I finally saw who I had been for my husband and what I had cost him and myself, and how much I had limited him and my marriage.
What did I create from my journey? LP had me confronting the limiting rules and imagined boundaries I had about myself in the world. From a new place of everything is possible, and my realization that I could choose being free and open no matter what I was doing, I started my own company, became a fellow of the Georgetown Center for Juvenile Justice Reform, and traveled to India, Ireland and Scotland. More importantly, my marriage was created from there. I gave up my ideas of what it was supposed to be, and how HE was supposed to act, and discovered a man I laughed with, fought with, and loved with... freely.
From there, in PhD Leadership I saw how to create freedom for and in others, how to make an impact through others as well as for them. Every meeting, no matter how difficult or political, has become an opportunity to practice shifting context to allow possibility.
How am I living my contract? I am an open, free, real woman. When I find I am beginning to hide behind "appropriate" to avoid risk, or feeling burdened or righteous, I say my contract and I remember who I am.
I would recommend others do the leadership journey at Legacy because freeing up who we really are opens up our capacity to respond to the world as leaders; to inspire and demand of others their best efforts; and to cause what we truly want to cause.
I enroll others in the journey because I believe that everyone is essential to this world, that each of us has the capacity to be more than we think we can be, and a desire to make a difference for others in our lives or out in the larger world. I believe that peace is possible, that kindness and joy can exist everywhere. I believe that enrolling others creates new possibilities for them and the
world to improve. I believe that each of us is a spark of the divine, and that we make the biggest difference when we see how glorious our essential selves truly are. I want everyone I know to wake up to who they are and can be, for the sake of the children of the world.
