A little bit about me!

 

 

 

"You are today where your thoughts have brought you;

you will be tomorrow where your thoughts take you."

(james allen)

 

 

 

They were wrong. 

So very wrong.

 

Every person who ever told you or in any way left you feeling that you weren't good

enough or pretty enough or talented enough or smart enough or loving enough or

giving enough or enough of enough of anything.

 

They. Were. Wrong. About. You.

So very wrong.

 

And I wish (with all my heart) that you could come to know that for yourself like I have come to know that for myself.  I wish you could grab that truth with both hands and hold it tightly to your heart; replacing the cacophony of all those old messages inside your head with a new and empowered voice of your own. 

 

I wish you could forget everything you think you know about yourself; the litany of every less than or not enough message you heard over and over and over again, until, not having anyone to tell you differently, you started believing it like it was your own and went on to tell it to yourself in your own voice over and over and over again through the years until the lie became the truth  - until the lie became your identity and what you let define you. 

 

I wish the place within you that holds the words that tells you those lies could be purged and the empty space left behind could be filled with the words that would reach across time and space; words from my heart to yours; words that describe who and what I see when I see you.

 

Because when I look at you,  I see amazing. 

I see strength and courage and creativity. 

I see a heart and soul wide open and waiting for grace to step in and fill it. 

 

So yes - I wish you could see you as I see you - the traces of the woman that would grow from the child and the traces of the child still within the woman - all of it, each and every sovereign nuance of it - beauty filled and sacred.

 

My sincere wish for you is that one day you will have whatever it is you need to lay those voices down once and for all.  That you will be able to let go of every lie you were told in an attempt to deny, confine, repress, minimize and define you like I have, and you will know the peace that comes from being able to say,  (with heart strong conviction and clarity) "they were wrong."  

 

Instead of holding onto the lies one day longer.

Instead of searching for ways to make those lies the truth and those wrongs

somehow right by keeping your light dimmed and yourself small.

 

Yes - I wish you could come to know they were wrong for yourself like I have come to know it for myself.  Because there were people who told me that I wasn't special, or good enough, or pretty enough, or smart enough or talented enough or loving enough throughout my lifetime and once upon a time (without anyone to tell me differently at the time) I believed the lies more than I believed in myself too -

but not anymore.

 

"The Divine Gift of You"

is a gift I give freely from my heart, and my way of offering you a new way

 of seeing yourself and defining yourself. 

 

A new way of reconnecting to your divine and inherent sovereignty.

 

Because it's there.  No matter how much you doubt it right now - it's there.

I see it and I want you to be able to see it too.

So....are you ready & willing to:
• See yourself as a gift to the world
• Rewrite your story
• Rethink your old ways of thinking
• Shift your paradigms
• Be willing to release any old worn out voices, tapes, and scripts
• Play with big and bold
• Call the “lie” a lie and the “liars” liars
• Embrace your inherent sovereignty?

The Divine Gift of You is a self paced and self designed experience!  You can ignore it completely, skim over it, or take it deeply into your heart.  It's totally your choice and up to you.  Scroll down to find the videos, chapters and worksheet prompts to help you integrate the information into your own life and experience!

A wee little bit about me......

Dani Sutliff, MS, CT, RMPT

I am an artist, writer and visionary in nature and a counselor by profession.  Working with others in the healing arts is my passion, and I use my creativity to write programs - facilitating support groups, workshops and retreats over the past 26 years.

Six years ago I was in the midst of an 'existential crisis' myself - really questioning  what it was I wanted to do with the rest of my life.  I was approaching  50, my mother had just died and I had just recovered from a very serious illness.  Although I had a job I loved and that gave my life a great deal of meaning and purpose, I knew there was 'something more' out there for me to create and/or do.  

One night I was facilitating a women's support group for breast cancer patients and survivors, and had passed out Louise Hay's affirmation cards to each of the women in the group.  We were going around the circle, with each women reading hers out loud.  Until we came to one woman who couldn't give voice to what her card said. She tried and after the third try, she gave the card to me, saying, "I can't do this." 

The card that she handed back to me, the card that held the words she couldn't say out loud within the group read:

 

"I love myself unconditionally and I am enough just as I am."

In that moment, the answer to what I was going to do with the rest of my life became clear.  I would write and develop programs to encourage, educate and empower women, and I would do this for all the women (myself included) who had, at some point in their lives, been unable to speak those words out loud themselves as well.   

Fueled by my own passionate quest to reconnect with the feminine and sacred divine, I have participated in many diverse women's groups and circles over the years, integrating the various traditions, teachings and philosophies into both my  personal life and professional practice.

My commitment has never waivered, and my passion to inspire and guide all women to reconnect to their own truth, wisdom and spirit; most especially their sacredness, sovereignty and inherent divinity, has not dimmed.   

So that's the place I come from in writing and now offering "The Divine Gift of You." 

And like I said before:

"The Divine Gift of You"

is my way of offering you a new way of seeing yourself.  Of defining yourself.  Of reconnecting to your divine and inherent sovereignty.  Of making and taking the time to see yourself as the GIFT you are!
