ThriveHeart Living LeaderPlease allow me to introduce myself.My name is Carol Goddard, the times in my life that have been most profound have been the ‘raw' times around birth and death, where we get to open our hearts as others around us are opening their hearts also. I had the honor of being with many people around the important life passages of birth and death, and in my years as a midwife and nurse learned so much from these experiences. In these profound moments in life, time seemed to stop, everyday problems dissolved and there seemed to be a re-shuffle; a reorganization in peoples lives that reflected what was really important to them. As we allow our selves to fully experience the moment, we experience love and gratitude. This ignited a spark inside of me to continue to broaden my perspectives by learning from the experiences of others. Feeling this ‘heart opening' had a powerful effect on me, and deepened my curiosity. I began to explore a range of philosophies, from eastern philosophy, sacred geometry, Dr Emoto's study of water crystals, world religions and quantum physics. The shared essence I discovered in these philosophies, together with my experience, gave me powerful insights into my own life and the lives of those around me. Over time, I have gained great calm and joy, from putting into practice what I have learned about living in greater awareness and choice, from a space of honoring my inner knowing. I learned a lot about the way we do what we do. It makes a profound difference, and I think for me the way I do something is as important as what I do. I loved being a midwife, and I could feel a burning desire deep within me to share and expand the magic of these experiences to more people and in more aspects of life. What I really love to do is be with people who are ready to see a broader perspective of what is possible for them. My journey led me to realize that others around me are ‘holding up a mirror' showing me aspects of myself. Having seen deeper aspects of myself, I realized that I now have the opportunity to heal and love those aspects of myself. Realizing that I have this choice in every moment to see everything as an opportunity to heal and love has allowed me to be touched by Peace. People began to seek Carol out for her wisdom and enhanced ability to really listen, to be present with people, to be non-judgmental and to gently assist people to find their own peace and their own truth. One of Carol's greatest joys is assisting people to lift the veil of illusion and allowing them to remember and connect with their true inner selves, unleashing their innate magnificence. Numerous business people discovered that they could be far more effective and successful in their work and their lives, simply by Being True to themselves. The year 2007 has seen the publication of Carol's first book, ‘A Life Like Yours'. Carol and co-author Julie Rodek have used a fictional tale to invite the reader to more deeply contemplate what matters to them in their own life, it is a parable about coming home to Love. Carol recently recorded a guided meditation, ‘Awaken to Stillness: Find and Ocean of Peace Within Your Heart'. The CD combines the blissful, resonant sounds of Tibetan singing bowls with an inner body guided meditation, Carol shares this meditation that she received as an inspiration on her own personal journey in coming home to her own truth. Carol was a practitioner and presenter on the 2008 Ocean of Gratitude Cruise. Carol's presentation was on building a bridge to reconnect with our hearts. Carol is an author in the ‘Thank God I....' book series where her story ‘Thank God I Feared Being Me' where she shares her story of being touched from the rawness of birth and death, and how she discovered her joy in being true to herself. Carol was inspired to begin the Love and Gratitude Global Community as a way of connecting, as our hearts open to Love and Gratitude we are naturally drawn to connect to others whose hearts are opening too.
