Bringing out Brilliance
Anyone who has known me through one winter knows that I am a somewhat pathetic basketball fan. Why? Well, it probably started in junior high when the boys I liked were on the “tall and skinny” side – perfect for playing basketball. (You started it, Jimmy LaChance, wherever you are!) But once I started going to games and getting over just watching my current crush, I found I loved basketball. There was something about the long, lean athleticism that reminded me of dance, and I loved it!
Fortunately, I married a man who is also passionate about basketball and we go in on season tickets for the local basketball team – the Sacramento Kings. What’s all this got to do with being vibrant and spirit-based business? Tons, actually! In today’s paper, there was an article about Teams of the Decade, highlighting a Kings team of several years ago: Chris Webber, Vlade Divac, Peja Stojakovic, Doug Christie, and Mike Bibby (alternately, Jason Williams). OMG! They were absolutely THE most fun and exciting team to watch. They were serious about the game, great athletes, playing to win. They, in my mind, were all about excellence. Playing their best and bringing out the best in each other. They were a TEAM. And they played with heart and excellence.
Bringing your best forward with heart. Bringing forth your excellence, your brilliance, in whatever your arena. That’s what we need to root ourselves in, nurture and allow to grow. Our own excellence, our own brilliance, the gifts we were meant to share.
I really feel we are entering a new …. something. A new phase of our evolution? The End Days? A new paradigm? Only God knows! But since so many things are changing, it might be time for those of us who’ve tended to hide out to start coming out of hiding and sharing our gifts with others. And keep at it until we can acknowledge that we are brilliant at something, that we’ve been given some pretty amazing gifts to share.
Blessings to all,

Not ready to go "gently in to that good night?" Me neither! We have too much to offer the world to go into hiding! And every day offers new opportunities to come out of hiding and shine our lights.
