Hey my happy shiny puppies.
This is Melody Fletcher, author of Deliberate Receiving: Finally the universe makes some
freaking sense!
And boy do I have something slightly different for you guys today.
As you may have noticed, unless you're brand new to this blog and this is the first video
of mine that you're watching…
I haven't really been posting lately.
It actually kind of started at the end of last year when I really just lost the inspiration
to create new content for my blog.
Which was really weird, because I've been blogging for I think about 6 years now - since
2011 I think?
Possibly even the end of 2010; I'm not sure anymore…
So, for me to run out of things to talk about, especially on this subject which is something
that I can talk for days about without even taking a breath, it was really weird.
But something was clearly off and in my last blog post, which was a while ago, I was trying
to figure that out.
I was trying to share what I was going through and I thought maybe it was the whole video
thing, that I just didn't really want to be doing video anymore.
And I didn't want to be standing in a little room, you know, by myself with camera equipment
and lights, and the camera, and just sort of talking into the ethers.
And I thought maybe that was a problem, so let me get back to writing, because writing's
always been my inspiration.
And then I wrote that one blog post and then I wasn't inspired again.
So, most of you know that I went to Peru on one of my annual big spiritual leveling up
trips this year, and I'd obviously had a lot of insights from that.
And one of the insights that I had from that has actually been coming in, in deeper and
deeper layers and it's finally dawned on me what this is all about.
Because I love creating content.
I love talking about the law of attraction and reality creation, and I love helping people
to be empowered.
And yet for some reason I wasn't able to publish.
And it really kind of got frustrating, which is always a good sign, because just as you're
hitting frustration, you know that you're about to pop, so…
I got frustrated and then, FINALLY, I popped, so…
My blog has gone through a lot iterations, and for those of you, bless your little puppy
hearts, who have been with me for years, you'll have seen this.
And I did this quite publicly.
So when I first started, I published 3 times a week.
And then at some point, I couldn't keep that up anymore so I went to twice a week.
And a lot of people kind of went thank God, because my blog posts were really long and
really in-depth.
And it was a little hard keep up to keep up with, apparently.
And at some point I had to scale back and go to once a week, because my coaching practice
was just hoppin' to the point where I just could not… did not have the time to publish
that often.
And then I went to videos, which was another challenge, but also really, really fun.
And I started to kind of do more Q&A things where I was actually publishing answers to
peoples' direct questions, which was also really, really fun.
And at some point, I had to stop answering emails directly.
I brought in somebody else.
You guys, most of you, know Tina, my lovely sister.
She works in my business and she's also coaching.
But this was the start of her journey.
I kind of brought her in to help me answer a lot of those emails, and I just had to scale
back and scale back and scale back.
Because there was just no way to keep up with it all and so, I had to make some tough decisions.
But what has really occurred to me, is that I scaled back a little too much on something
really important.
Or rather perhaps it wasn't too much at the time, but it is now, and I want to scale it…
front again?
I don't know.
[laughs] Scale back, scale front.
So, and that is the engagement.
The engagement with you guys, you know, because after a while you sort of take a step back,
and take a step back, and you have to, like I said, because the overwhelm-ment of like
too much stuff, too much work, too many emails, too many questions.
You have to try to create some kind of a way to handle as much as possible and serve as
many people as possible.
But, I kind of missed you guys.
Oh, not even kind of.
Like super SUPUER missed you guys.
And so, it isn't realistic that I answer every single email that I get.
It isn't realistic that I do all one on one work and that I can talk to everybody
one on one.
But something that dawned on me is that it is realistic that I can do this through video
in a different way from how I've been doing it.
And this is what has been bothering me – it's that I was sort of talking at you, I guess.
I was teaching.
I was so in the teaching mode that I wasn't really having a conversation with you.
If that makes sense.
So, I wasn't really sharing myself completely.
I was sort of in the teacher mode, hoping to convey information.
And I'm not down on myself.
I'm not saying that I was doing a bad job or anything like that.
But taking it to the next level means that I want to have more conversations with you.
I want more back and forth.
And I want to let you guys in more than I have been, which means that I'm not going
to be in my little video studio talking about some specific topic.
I'm just going to be talking with you about whatever's going on, and whatever insights
happen to come in.
And whatever I feel like talking about.
And, you know, what I've discovered…
I was at this conference a couple of weeks ago.
It's a business conference, but a very soulful one.
And there was a wonderful woman, I didn't catch her name, but she was just a wonderful
soul who was there for me.
She thought I was there for her, but she was really there for me.
And she was having a really tough time.
She'd been triggered by something, and she came up to me, and she said "will you help
me?", and she was crying.
And I said, you know, "of course", and I was able to kind of talk her through it.
I gave her a big hug and she felt a lot better.
For me, since Peru, it's all been about opening up more and letting go of all kinds
of walls that I might have, all kinds of defensive mechanisms.
Which, as an energy worker, is kind of a scary thing to do.
I kind of had to figure out, you know, what's the difference between letting go of all defensive
mechanisms and not having boundaries.
And I can talk more about that, if you want, in a subsequent video.
But…
I found more of that balance.
Because, as I was talking to this woman, and after I hugged her and sent her on her way,
I realized just what an absolute privilege it is, I reconnected with the feeling of what
an absolute privilege it is to be the person, to GET TO be that person for a lot of people.
The person that you come to, the person that you listen to, OMG, the person that you know
is going to make you feel better.
That is…
Ok… that is just such a privilege for me.
I was not expecting that.
And so I want to thank all of you guys.
For being that… for being that mirror for me.
For being there for me.
You know, I'm not just there for you, you're there for me.
And I need you just as much as you need me.
If not more.
And um, I think I kind of lost touch with that a little bit.
[Laughs] Yeah, none of this is getting edited out.
[laughs] So, I am challenging myself, it's part of a business master mind that I'm
a part of, I'm challenging myself to do a 30 day video challenge.
Which means that I'm going to publish a little video like this once a day for 30 days.
They're not going to be long videos, necessarily.
I'm not going to cry in every single one of them [laughs], don't worry.
But I think we're going to have a lot of fun.
And this is the direction that I really feel is the one that I want to take now.
It's to let you guys in more.
And hopefully you'll do the same.
Well, actually, a lot of you do let me in, so, it's kind of up to me to let you in
more.
But, hopefully you're in, you know?
And so, let me know what you think about this new direction in the comments.
I can't wait to hear from you guys.
Because, I want to have more conversations with you.
I want to have more engagement with you.
I'm showing up in a bigger way.
And you know what?
Maybe you what you can tell me is how do you want to challenge yourself to show up in a
bigger way?
I know that's not an easy question to answer.
God knows.
But, how do you want to show up in a bigger way.
I'd love to hear it.
Or any other thoughts that you have.
So… phew!
So, this is Melody Fletcher signing off a very unexpected little release of a video.
Thank you guys.
Thank you for bringing your light to the world.
I'll see you tomorrow.
