It's vacation time for many people and this photo was taken in Algonquin Park, Ontario, Canada. It fits perfect with the adventurous feeling of summer, the joy of being in nature and the perfect match to this month's visionary article.

With enthusiasm and anticipation, Daryl

For many people there's an undeniable thrill to physically going "out on a limb". The sensation of balancing high in a treetop, on the edge of a cliff ... or in this case ... on limb over a lake, feeds their desire for challenge and risk. There's a rush of adrenaline and a longing to know they can do "it." Often people use their greatest fears to stretch themselves with skydiving, caving or bungee jumping. The combination of danger and excitement can be thrilling.
 
Of course there are other ways to go out on a limb. We hear about people pushing the limits in the world of business all the time. And then there are courageous people like my friend Heather Mesaric who speak out about topics that most of us are afraid of.
 
I have personally felt the knotting in my stomach as I've done something that scares the beejeebers out of me and that I know will ultimately serve me well. I'm doing it again with this newsletter as I slip in some news about one of my passions.
 
Before becoming a coach I led Self-Empowerment Retreats and provided spiritual guidance and support to women. I've realized lately that I miss having that focus in my coaching. So, it seems completely natural to blend both of my loves - spirituality and coaching - in service of my clients. What this means to you is that I will be bringing into our relationship my devotion to enhancing your spiritual journey. It shows up now in a more subtle way and with this announcement I am inviting you to call me to discuss what might be possible ... or just what the heck this all means!
 
As Joan Borysenko says "Spirituality is an opening of the senses, an intimacy with the universe." I would add - a powerful opportunity for you to find your "self".
 
QUESTION FOR THE MONTH: What am I ready to reveal to myself?
 
This fall I am offering a special event for women at Healing Rock Retreat in Tobermory, Ontario. When we take time to be still, nourish our minds and bodies and open ourselves to learning we invite our personal wisdom to emerge. This is a unique experience and I invite you to give yourself the time and space to be connected with your amazing self. Visit Women's Wisdom Retreat for more information.
