Finding Your Tribe

~ lisagangone ~ Leave a comment

How does one go about finding their tribe? That is other than your family. I have a few different tribes depending upon what part of my life I am focused on. I have my long time friends from growing up. This tribe is the one that no matter what happens to me no matter the circumstances; this tribe sticks by me through thick and thin. We may live thousands of miles apart but when you need them they are there for you.

Then there are those friends I have developed through different work I have done. I have one tribe that gets together a few times a year to catch up and to just enjoy each other’s company. Others getting together is rare but always a good time. Others I have met networking and have developed friendships because we connected in another aspect of our lives. These connections are real, authentic, and can help bring me to new awareness’s that I would have never imagined.

One particular tribe that has dramatically changed my life is through one of my businesses. One that happened per chance-I talked about this in my last blog regarding my health. The people I have met and work with on a weekly basis continue to challenge me, support me, and inspire me to grow beyond my wildest dreams. I do not believe our paths would have not crossed had it not been for me taking a leap of faith. This tribe has helped me in so many different ways I am eternally grateful for each and every one of them. From this tribe I have come to grow and expand my mind, body, soul, and spirit.

This tribe has allowed me to bring amazing people into my life. One’s whose support of me continues to help me grow and expand. These are people who I can relate to and bring added value to my life personally and professionally. I wish this for anyone who is open to expand their ways of looking at life and what amazing gifts can come from adding to your tribe.

 

 

What is even better is finding like-minded people-they don’t even need to be in business with you but you have an amazing connection and you recommend one another’s businesses. I find the connections I have made do just that. We support each other in business. In fact one of these connections posted links to my website within her blog. I find that when I meet people I can truly connect with and their business is one I can support then respectfully I can support them in business by sharing my knowledge of what they do and how they can be of service to others. When I recommend people who I know practice what they preach I know from there my world will expand exponentially.

So I ask you, do you have a special tribe who supports you and helps nurture you to be a better person? What does this tribe mean to you and how did you find them? I would love to hear from you on how this manifests for you. Take a leap of faith, find your tribe, and hang on for an amazing journey that will raise your vibrations to a higher level of consciousness.

 

Until next time…

Natural Alternatives-What Does This Mean To You

~ lisagangone ~ Leave a comment

Natural alternatives-what does this exactly mean? For me it is a way for me to protect my health. For others it could be making the big decision to change their lifestyle. Well, it is a lifestyle change and one that can be designed on an individual basis depending upon ones belief system. I am embracing my spirit of my individuality within my lifestyle. In today’s society so many people are embracing lifestyle changes it seems to be the norm instead of the strange and oh they are doing what?

I started seeing a naturopath doctor many years ago and shifted to natural alternatives. I believe this is a path that takes time, learning, and applying the knowledge we gain. For me it started with food. It has eventually enveloped cleaning products, personal care, spirituality, and as much as I possibly can to become sustainable and healthy. Even when we take care of ourselves we can have bumps along the way. I did have some major bumps that set me back. I chose to keep moving forward and to search for solutions. I continue to be open to opportunities to improve my health and well being-physically and mentally.

Did you ever have someone introduce you to something that changed your life? I find it inspiring when I hear this because I had someone do this for me. It does not even have to be someone close to you. In fact it is probably better that it isn’t. We tend not to listen to those we are close to. It is usually someone who we are introduced to who introduces us to someone else. I hear people all of the time recommending a restaurant, a doctor, or something someone has had such a great experience that they want to share it with others. I know I am always recommending something all of the time. So if we recommend these things why not recommend natural alternatives? I know I value others opinions and experiences. Don’t you?

The main natural alternatives I have added to my life have helped me become whole once again. I thought I would never gain back my physical wellness but I have. I am inviting you to take a look at how I did this http://www.lisagangone.myqivana.com.

Wherever I go I run into people that have made lifestyle changes either by choice or by circumstance. Mine was by circumstance and I wish it was the latter but I made the change and that is what counts.

Have you made natural alternative choices? Have you made a lifestyle change? What have you done in your life or what caused you to make those changes?

Here is a video that can help you understand why I chose this company.

I hope if this resonates with you or you know of someone that could be helped you forward this information to them. If I can help someone else like someone helped me it validates my decisions even more so.

Juggling Acts

~ lisagangone ~ 1 Comment

Life is a juggling act of the many different directions our lives take us through. We grow up thinking about all the adventures we will have when we are adults. Then what happens? We become responsible, get a job, fall in love and get married, buy a home, have children, and settle in to a routine. What happened to the adventures we were going to have? Well for me the only part I did not do was having children. I did not go on those adventures my friends and I dreamt of. I do have fur babies. In fact I just adopted a new fur baby and this is where the juggling act begins today for me.

Working from home, keeping focused and motivated, keeping a schedule to stay on target with goals are some of the struggles we all go through. Now I just added a new fur baby and my juggling act gets larger. Don’t get me wrong I am excited and feeling blessed I finally have a pet in my home once again. It has given me an added purpose and once again that word responsibility comes up again!

I started out by talking about what we think about growing up and what we actually do for a reason. I know for me since I have started my journey of entrepreneurship I have made so many business acquaintances and friends who stay on the path of routine and others that have taken the path of adventure. I believe I am on the cusp of both. I am dipping my feet in to test the waters. But what I have also found is my views of what is important to me have changed. So I ask you what has changed for you? Do you want to test the waters or dive in feet first?

What has changed for me? The first big change is I am no longer materialistic. Granted I like having things but these things are different and there are less of them today. I am living simplistically and am enjoying this change. Because of this I feel I have more opportunities to bring to my life. I know you are thinking what does this have to do with juggling life? Well as we grow in self-development, change our priorities, and open ourselves to opportunities we bring more into our lives. So how do we juggle life?

Okay you can probably tell from my writing that I am not a planner. So how do us non-planners juggle? The planners have this down pat; well at least it looks like they do. From the suggestion of a friend I carry a notebook to write down things I need to do as they come up and then schedule them into my week. This is a great tool for me. I carry a planner as well as inputting into my phone because it seems to help me stay on point. Some may say its not needed in our digital world but it helps me.

So my ask of this blog post is to please comment and tell me what works for you in your juggling sphere of life…

 

Until next time…
