Going through the life coach training is a metamorphosis of sorts.  I am not the same person I was before this training.  Not unlike any personal transformation or dramatic event we all face in life, a reinvention of ourselves, death, divorce, loss of job, empty nest, etc, etc., you need to melt down and begin again.

When a caterpillar moves through a life cycle, it molts.  As we grow, we shed our skin, figuratively speaking.  We mature and outgrow situations, people, or lifestyles that no longer serve us.  We are constantly moving towards becoming the person we were meant to be.  It takes hard work!

In the chrysalis stage ~ we crystallize or give form to this new identity.  As we move through this stage we change and grow, putting new systems into place that support our new path psychologically and/or physically.  A new hair style, new friendship, moving, or just rearranging furniture, COACHING to help us get clear  ~ anything that helps us "own" our new identity.

At the end of that road, after all the hard work has been done, when you look in the mirror and know with all your heart you have reached a place of contentment, acceptance, and knowledge,you have evolved into the person you were truly meant to be.  There is nothing more beautiful!

Cherish that moment, for it will change yet again

Manifestation Monday

We all have dreams, aspirations for ourselves and our future.  Why do some of us reach our goals and see our dreams come true while others never reach theirs?  Can you change your path  Can you manifest your dreams into reality?  How?

This seems obvious, but I am seeing many of us say we want to change, but we really (really) aren't willing to do the work!


SAY IT, be as specific as possible.  WRITE IT down.  VISUALIZE IT ~ become it (the goal).
LIVE IT ~  like you already accomplished it.  CREATE A VISION BOARD.  And most importantly, and I think the hardest thing to be is ~ LET IT GO ~ be unattached to the outcome.


That has eluded me.  I am learning you must come from a place of peace!  I was always grasping, trying to will things to happen.  All that yearning doesn't work.  You have to be completely at peace with the outcome and then (I am told), your dreams may actually come true.  The universe hears you and responds in kind.

My education into life coach-dom continues to fascinate me.  That's another beautiful thing about growing and learning new skills.  It helps you live life to it's fullest!
