“All that you are seeking is also seeking you. If you lie still, sit still, it will find you. It has been waiting for you a long time.” 

– Clarissa Pinkola Estes 

Love Letter to a Future Client:

Dear Future Clients,

There is so much to be afraid of in this life, ranging from what people think of you to the fate of the human race. And yet, fear is not the answer. Fear tells us to hide, avoid, and submit. Fear tells us to avoid the things that we really want to do or be because we might fail, get hurt, or be rejected. Fear will protect you in the short term, but in the long term it will steal your life from you. 

I do not promise to erase fear. Fear is just a part of being human – I am afraid sometimes, too! What I can tell you is that I help people every day to make the choices and take the risks – even in the face of fear – that lead to a life of purpose, meaning, connection, creativity, and joy.  I can help you choose Love over fear. 

Love says to be your authentic self, unapologetically. 

Love says to act out of your passion and trust Love (Spirit, the Universe, God) to carry it for you.

Love says to honor yourself, to rest, to create, to be rejuvenated and refreshed so that you can be of true, honest service to the world. 

Love says to serve from a place of wholeness.

Love says that you don’t need to be God. You just need to be present.

The honest truth is that the world needs you to show up fully and authentically as yourself. It will not be easy, but it will mean something, to you and to your people. I invite you to join me on this path. It comes with a healthy dose of honesty, and the potential to really shake things up in your life, but boy is it worth it. You are worth it. Give me a call and let’s talk.

With Love,

Rachel Smith, MA, LPC, NCC, CAS
