Yep, today was a good one. It was cold and rainy, but the warmth inside me was strong. Feeling great and loving this life I choose.

I’m starting to think about how I can make the time to get my to-do list done while loving me and others well tomorrow. A run is definitely on the list. How about you? Where can you carve a window to slay a little dragon or prioritize in a little self love? You’re WORTH it!

It’s been way too long since I’ve said “Hey! This is ME!” So...I’m taking a moment to introduce myself to those of you who don’t know me and share some updates with those of you that do.

I am Lindsay Sea Wills and I am passionate about empowering people to feel their feelings, process their experiences, overcome hurdles and truly LIVE their lives in abundance. An authenticity advocate and mother of two, I am a counselor, singer, speaker, teacher and writer. I am a lover of the outdoors and an essential oils enthusiast.

My counseling practice, Live True Counseling, offers individual counseling services in Traverse City, MI.  A recent  TEDx Traverse City Pitch finalist, I shared about living a courageous, compassionate, resilient and awakened life (link on homepage). This winter, my writing will appear in Grand Traverse Woman Magazine where I will also share about self love as the featured speaker.  Additionally, I look forward to speaking about my life and work in the Fulfillament series in Traverse City this coming May. In January of 2019, I will be directing the State Honors Choir at the Michigan Music Conference in Grand Rapids. My professional and life motto is: Summoning strength and beauty. Igniting Courage and Compassion.

I love my two kiddos with a reckless abandon.  I love nature. I love water — canoeing, sailing and paddle boarding are my favorites! I love design and I LOVE inspiring people. My tribe is my refuge and dancing makes my heart soar. I’m a songbird and if you know me at all, I sing a little ditty about most everything.

This is me and this is a snapshot of my passion and my life’s work. Thanks for learning more! I’m so excited to see how my journey continues to unfold and I am equally overjoyed to support others as they love themselves into a wholehearted, abundant life.  Have an amazing day filled with of all the good stuff!! 💕Lindsay

What is your next right step? This little statement has been profound in my own life. We don’t need to know the end result. We don’t have to see twenty steps into the future. We can just put one foot in front of the other and self-lovingly walk the path one next right step at a time.

May you allow all of the parts of yourself to be awakened today. May you embrace the full range of your emotions.

As my favorite researcher and author on the topics of shame, resilience and wholehearted living says, “we can’t selectively numb emotion. Numb the dark and you numb the light,” Brene Brown.

May you choose to be REAL on this beautiful Halloween morning. And may you love each and every piece of yourself as you choose to embrace vulnerability.

Do not mess with a woman who is slaying a path of light and love.

I love seeing this #rebelgirl own who she is and what she’s about. She’s got it. And so do you.

She scored her first basket in a game last night. She’s loving her role in the Nutracker @danceartsacademytc .  She was student of the month at school. AND she has a heart as wide as the ocean. This sweet young woman has walked out a road, friends. And she is thriving.

I couldn’t be more proud of her resilience and strength. Life has dealt her lemons and she has made lemonade. Go Avery! Way to believe in yourself and way to claim love.

Love yourself, dear one. You’re worth it.

Follow your arrow. Trust your journey. It belongs to you and it’s beautiful. Each twist and turn has taught you something and brought you to the exact place you are standing.

Stand TALL, dear one. Own your story, own your journey and LOVE yourself through it.

YOU are the author of your story and you are the one who gets to choose where it will go. YOU are the one with authoritative knowledge over your life and YOU are the one you have to trust. Everyone has an opinion on how you should live your life, but not one of them knows you like YOU do. Not one of them knows what is best for you. Only you can truly claim that for yourself.

Your story is yours and yours alone. No one can take it from you and no one gets to have a claim upon it but you. You can choose where to place meaning. You can choose where you want the story go. It’s yours, dear one. Own it. Love it. Embrace it.
