Shift - A Game About Love, Fear and Life

Click here to go to our sweet postcard.

If you’ve noticed it’s been a while since I’ve written. We’ve been busy dealing with of all things, change. Constant change. Just when I thought I’d worked to my capacity, I’m required to step it up another few notches. Well, I’m getting much much stronger. We’ve been focusing on sales and I’m excited to say that we’ll be doing some cool things with Wild Oats coming up and we got in with Deepak Chopra’s center.

I’ve been so focused on sales and the window of opportunity…not sure if i’ve mentioned how I funded this endeavor myself… that I had to be reminded last night to play the game. I’ve been operating from fear… mainly working from a belief that there’s a lack of time and money. Everything needs to happen yesterday.

In doing that, I was reminded what the true purpose of the game is. Yes I want to get it out through all these distribution channels and get people to buy it. I’ve been pretty focused on what’s the quickest turn around, where’s my lowest hanging fruit and although that is necessary, the truth is there are so many people that not only get the game, they could benefit from it. That’s really who I created the game for first. People that are in need of transition, who want to make a change.

Just a little heads-up for me as of late. Of course I’d love to get into Starbucks and be the next Cranium. Today I’m going to shift my perspective and focus on the organizations and women’s group that I can support and see what shows up.

Sometimes it takes me a while to listen and sometimes it takes me a while to see… yet I’m always open to learning…

“I don’t know how long I can do this, he said. I think the universe has different plans for me & we sat there in silence & I thought to myself that this is the thing we all come to & this is the thing we all fight & if we are lucky enough to lose, our lives become beautiful with mystery again & I sat there silent because that is not something that can be said.” - Brian Andreas

I couldn’t have said it better myself.
My thoughts and support still lie here - but as of now, I’m out in the universe making other plans.

i love the show grey’s anatomy -
and i love many of the quotes - this one is about fear and is about mistakes but most of all it’s experience.

you have the experience to back your word, you’ve learned from our mistakes and from what worked and didnt.

go big nikki, go big.

i’m with you - k

“A couple of hundred years ago, Benjamin Franklin shared with the world the secret of his success. Never leave that till tomorrow, he said, which you can do today. This is the man who discovered electricity. You think more people would listen to what he had to say. I don’t know why we put things off, but if I had to guess, I’d have to say it has a lot to do with fear. Fear of failure, fear of rejection, sometimes the fear is just of making a decision, because what if you’re wrong? What if you’re making a mistake you can’t undo? The early bird catches the worm. A stitch in time saves nine. He who hesitates is lost. We can’t pretend we hadn’t been told. We’ve all heard the proverbs, heard the philosophers, heard our grandparents warning us about wasted time, heard the damn poets urging us to seize the day. Still sometimes we have to see for ourselves. We have to make our own mistakes. We have to learn our own lessons. We have to sweep today’s possibility under tomorrow’s rug until we can’t anymore. Until we finally understand for ourselves what Benjamin Franklin really meant. That knowing is better than wondering, that waking is better than sleeping, and even the biggest failure, even the worst, beat the hell out of never trying.” meredith grey
