I'm Scared. I'm Doing It Anyway.

I will be honest…I am scared.

And excited. And nervous. And I am taking the big leap and hoping the net will appear.

Frankly, if I weren’t feeling all those things, I would be even more worried. It isn’t often that we step outside our box and let people see something that matters to us. We wonder if what we have to offer matters to anyone else OR if anyone is even noticing. Most of what I am feeling is happening inside my own head, after all.

Maybe it is not great marketing to say that I am nervous about sending this email and finally letting everyone know that I have a class to offer. BUT…since I will be working with people on how to NOTICE what is happening in their lives, how they are feeling, what they want, and how to get there…what better place to share that I too get scared when I embark on something new?

I am the poster child for my own class.

Registration is now open for THIS HOLIDAY SEASON, One Thing Different.

I hope you will join me for the last six weeks of the year to discover a little more about yourself and explore one pattern you keep promising yourself you will change. Together, we will notice what keeps that pattern going and practice making one thing different, with curiosity instead of judgment.

This is the Year of the Fire Horse, and it has been quite a year. Maybe you were thinking that the end of the year would slow down, but I don’t know any horse at the end of a race that decides it will simply cruise to the finish line.

There is still time in 2026 to discover what this year has to offer. And this class will give you a head start on 2027. When the New Year’s resolutions roll around, you will have a new perspective on what change looks like and how to incorporate it into your life.

I look forward to learning with you what 2026 has left to teach us.

And…on a personal note, to all of you who have been my faithful readers from the beginning, THANK YOU! Your support has meant the world to me. Who knows? Maybe we are all in on the ground floor of something big…let’s find out together.

I hope to see you in class.

THIS HOLIDAY SEASON, ONE THING DIFFERENT

Before you start making the holidays happen for everyone else, what’s one thing you’d like to do for yourself?

Perhaps it’s saying no without spending the evening feeling guilty. Keeping some time for yourself. Or getting through a family gathering without being drawn into the same old argument.

Join me for This Holiday Season: One Thing Different, my six-week live small group class.

Together, we’ll explore one familiar pattern: when it appears, what it gives you and what you might try instead. You’ll have a workbook, weekly conversations and a group of no more than eight women to learn alongside.

Choose one weekly group:

• Sundays at 11 am ET, starting 22 November
• Mondays at 8 pm ET, starting 23 November
• Tuesdays at 3 pm ET, starting 24 November

The class is $99 for six weeks, or FREE for my paid Substack subscribers ($9/month or $81/year).

[Choose your group and register](https://www.lisa-hamil.com/classes)

Or [become a paid subscriber](https://lisahamil.substack.com/subscribe) to access the class as part of your subscription. 

Here are some additional paid subscriber benefits for the anyone choosing to register via the Substack paid subscription:

• Subscriber-only posts and the full archive
• Invitations to monthly live community meetings
• Discounts on future classes and workshops
• A weekly recorded meditation and journal prompt

Start with one thing you’d like to experience differently. I’d love to have you join us.

Much love,

Lisa
