Looking for new shoes?

Do you ever think about your life and how satisfied you are; have you ever looked down at your feet and thought, “hmmm, something just doesn’t look right”?
Are you doing just okay in your day to day shoes or do you ever long to wear –  let’s say RED HIGH HEELS or maybe even NIKE’s? I know, it sort of feels easier to wear the ones that are on your feet right now, but it is okay to think about what else you might try on.

I have been feeling that way – in my black pumps that I wear to work during the day. They still look nice, but they just don’t fit me anymore. They are strangling my toes and actually constricting my heart.

I have a seemingly normal good life, but I know I was meant to do something else. I know that I am meant to be a life coach and the more that I delve into learning the coaching craft; the more it actually opens my heart.

It can be scary though. I mean, “what if I fail”?  Living life means that we must fail to learn.  But the scarier thought to me is “what if I do nothing and  just stay where I am”? If I decide to live my life in these tight black pumps, then my life will remain the same. I would not be able to help my clients decide to take off their own tight shoes. I have a voice in coaching that I am meant to use.

So what do you say, just for now, let’s take a walk by the ocean, remove our shoes and give them a toss? Then we can run barefoot in the warm sand for awhile until we decide what our next pair will be.

Freedom

I have been thinking a lot lately about mini-miracles, God winks, power of intension, or my latest term, God’s high fives!  I believe that they are always happening, always around us, but if we are too busy or in our heads, we miss them. 

I began to notice them in my life about a year ago.  It was my birthday, I was turning fifty and I just had an “inner urge” to get a laptop, literally I just knew it!  All reasoning said that I did not need one.  We had a regular PC in our spare bedroom and we really couldn’t easily afford it.  BUT, I am stubborn - I ordered one in orange!  Why orange?  At the time, the color just said “yes” to my soul.  I later came to know that the color means “fun, socialization and energy”.  I chose “freedom” as the password.  I knew that this orange box that sat on my lap would mean freedom in my life and that it would be instrumental. 

From there, the “high fives from God” began.  I found Christine Kane blogs that nourished my soul and I began writing my own blog.  By way of other mini miracles, I found an amazing life coach that was able to show me the road away from my eating disorder that had plagued me for years. 

Again, I felt an urge…. to be closer to my out of town family - enter FACEBOOK.  I started connecting with my nieces and nephews, friends and eventually my sisters!   One sister even bought a laptop without knowing a thing about computers, learned how to use it and is now writing and sharing beautiful inspirational pieces.    

I am now taking a Martha Beck life coach course on my orange “social” laptop, to coach others and show them how to find their own roads to their essential selves. 

I can now honestly say…..trust your instincts , watch for those “high fives from God”.  If we can stop and really be in tune to ourselves, amazing things can happen.  

Life is an Adventure

I created a vision board about a year ago.  When I designed my board,  I placed any items on it that made my essential self say “yes” and that just felt right to me.  Now, as I sit here and look at my board, I can’t help but smile as I see that it is becoming more and more a reality.  

The words “Life is an Adventure”, “Yes I can” and “Life coach” are on the board.  Then lo and behold, I ended up working with a life coach through various God winks;  one thing lead to another and last January I decided to become a life coach myself.  I began taking the Martha Beck life coach training course which lead to last weekend’s “meet and greet” in Arizona.  There I met other coaches in training that I have been corresponding with. It ended up being one of the best weekends of my life as we got to spend the day listening to Martha Beck and get to know one another.  I now see that I am living my best life and having kick ass life adventures! 

If we set our intentions for miracles to happen in our lives, they will happen.  Believe, pray, know that you know amazing things will line up in your favor, then just watch and say WOW!
