I just gotta be me

 I was never one on writing my bio, but knew it was an important part of "getting yourself out there". So I set out to do it. I had a list of criteria that I thought people would want to know about, my education, my experience, my credibility. By the time I was finished I had a nice short sweet paragraph. Thats all! I was sure I could squeeze more out, but nothing. I went through my list of criteria again, I got it all, there was nothing more to say about me until I was on a call for one of my classes in Creating Confidence. The instructor asked one of us to share our bios we were working on . Of course you could hear crickets chirping over the vast phone space. I spoke up and volunteered to share the bio I had been working on. After I was finished and I might add very nervous for putting myself out there. My instructor added, "so where are YOU" in the bio?" I was caught off guard, what does she mean? She stated again that the paragraph of what I have accomplished in my life was great, the schooling, the certifications, but where was I in all of this. How are people really going to know what kind of experience and work they are going to receive if they do not know me. The "Ah Ha" moment came swiftly and immediately I said, my work comes from the Heart. I am here to help people from the Heart space to connect with their Heart space. This is who I am! I had had fear of bringing too much emotion into my bio, but my work IS emotional. My work is Spiritual, loving, nurturing, and energy centered. It is my essence that was missing in the bio, my Being.  This is what people will truly connect to. I feel confident about this now and will soon be putting up a new bio on my website. One that exudes the energy of who I truly am. Stay tuned!
