For myself, there are times where I read blogs, and websites, looking for support/resources in different ways. I can find it from peers, forums, mentors, blogs or websites. So I would like to write to offer my support to you.
Within the last several years, I have made choices to live a happy and positive life, not everyday is always bliss, but I certainly try my best. One thing coaching has done for me is to move past the feelings I had as a child and the anger and frustration I had with my life. I felt up until recently I was in a better place, but even as a Mother, Wife and Certified Coach we all have our moments.
To stay on track you have to make a conscious effort to not allow yourself to get pulled in, but what happens if it is just to much to handle. How do you work through it, I am feeling very challenged these days, things are out of my control, and they are affecting me so deeply. I am taking one day at a time and working through each crisis at a time. In times like this it is so important to surround myself with people who care and are positive influences in my life.
I feel I need to talk about one of my frustrations, I have this gift, working with teens, and families, and I feel like I have exhausted so many options, and still not finding any open doors, I've had alot of doors close in my face but because of my passion and perseverance I refuse to let my dream go, I will never stop. My natural ability is to empower people to be better and do better. When talking to people about my passion, I like to use this analogy, it's like a singer who can sing, but isn't given a platform. What I find is I have this beautiful gift and without the platform, I cannot share and do what it is I am meant to do. This is my calling, I refuse to quit.
In the next couple of months I require surgery and I will be recovering for 2-3 months, I plan on taking this time, and not only let my body heal, but let myself rest. In addition to having surgery I was recently informed that my workplace is closing, and shortly after that my husband was informed his workplace is closing. The good news is, he was offered a position at another location, so we are grateful. There are alot of uncertainties right now, so we will take one day at a time and work through each one as they come.
With all that is going on, I have made the choice to be happy and excited about my new adventures. I mean I have worked since I was 10 years old (started with a paper route) and I have been working pretty much since then. So this is the time to really delve into what matters to me, I have a great feeling about the future, and what lies ahead. My Coaching business will become my main focus, I am so excited that I will have the time, to focus on what is so important to me.
Next week, Monday, April 16th I am attending a live Lifeclass show with not only Oprah, but some of the most inspiring empowering leaders I have ever "known" http://www.olctoronto.com/. See if you can spot me on OWN TV, Monday, April 16th, I believe the time is 8:00 EST. You can also login online, or on her Lifeclass Facebook page as well. I am so excited, and fortunate that I am going, I am truly blessed. Oprah is someone I have looked up to my entire life, and being able to see her is a dream come true.
Thanks for your time, TTYS
