fellow coaches, we narrowed down my services. I changed my title to Life Coach, and found Transformation Coaching to be my calling. Struggling, I had several deep, heart-centered conversations with Kat Tozier. I realized all the puzzle pieces were in front of me. It was up to me to put them together. In March I started researching how to publish either a newsletter or a magazine. As quick as the excitement built, so did the fear. On Sunday, May 8th, the little voice in my heart said, “It's time.”
There's a saying about quitting at the edge of success. It's true. I took my fear by the hand, eyes closed, head bowed, and I whispered, “I respect you, Fear. You are very powerful, and I honor your presence in my life right now. Walk with me, Fear. I will hold your hand, and I will love you the best that I can. Together, you and I, we can do this. I'll slow down, and do what I can to ease the freak-out-panic I feel from you. Walk with me, Fear. We can accomplish great things united.”
When I allowed myself to be vulnerable, and to go within, that was when I stopped asking for guidance outside of myself. My answers were right there the whole time. I simply needed to pause, sip tea, and listen to my heart.
Where this adventure takes me, I can't say. My heart is my compass and my intuition is reading the map.
