When do inner peace and freedom dance together in your life?
Whenever there are big shifts in my life I know there are also new experiences to be mined - so I start searching, observing...
Even little shifts or simply being present offers us delights that may otherwise be missed in my complacency.
Joy is an internal appreciation rather than an expectation of perfection.
I've never experienced the deep satisfaction, joy and contentment that has come with my decision to focus on creative works as I have today, at this time in my life.
Though my social justice, leadership and coaching work over the past 30 years has been thrilling - I now am ready for what is next.
I closed my executive leadership coaching practice Terrill Welch - A Woman behind Women at the end of 2009.
People say it's surprising to see my signature block say "writer, photographer and artist" yet they realize - they have been experiencing these aspects all along.
I suggested to those on my distribution list when I made this transition from executive leadership coach to my creative work that it may be a perfect time to "unsubscribe." Only three subscribers took me up on my offer - with very personal notes and lovely exchanges.
When we are authentically ourselves, we can change what we "do" without loosing credibility.
The various aspects of ourselves need diversity of expression and their own time in the sun.
I'll always be passionate about women's issues, women's leadership and executive leadership coaching - now where is my camera?
warm regards,
Terrill

Appreciation is a condition not a symptom.
