the contribution I make…” Or whatever works for you.
3 Ask, “I wonder what Beauty, Miracle or Blessing will show up for me today?”
~Will you share a client success story?
John has Tourette’s Syndrome. I initially worked with him on improving his social - emotional intelligence and to learn how to develop and maintain friendships because he had none. He was nervous about people making fun of him because of his “strange behaviors.” After our work together, he started a successful video gaming group that meets weekly. He managed the group so that beginners and advanced gamers are equally engaged. Through our work together, he shared, “I’m more confident, willing to take risks, and take more initiative.” He even asked a girl out on a hike.

* Give yourself permission to be yourself. Don’t compare yourself to others.
Steps to do this:
1. KISS. Keep it Simple Sweetheart. Tap into your own Knowing and what makes your heart sing.
2. Choose it. Choose to follow your own Knowing and don’t get derailed by focusing on others.
3. Acknowledge yourself. Acknowledge when you have honored what makes your heart sing by making a decision, taking a step and moving forward.
~Any final thought, share, or idea that you would like to share with our readers today?
Be proactive. Take action. Don’t ignore issues and hope they get better. Jake was failing classes, labeled a behavioral problem and had low self-esteem. Within three months of working with me he was named “Student of the Month,” in 6 months on honor roll, and within one year, took advanced placement classes and prepped for college. Steve, in the same situation but didn’t work with me, dropped out of school, became addicted to drugs and his parents stopped speaking with him. Being proactive makes it easier, less costly and more likely to get the results you desire for your teen.

The Black-Eyed Susans are dying here in the midwest. They’ve spent themselves.
They are in preparation for a new season. One where they’ll lie still and quiet under the heavy blanket of snow this winter. But they’ll be back next Spring, inching back out of the ground when it’s safe – they’ll come forth in greater number and strength.
Come summer they’re sure to burst forth again, filling the long side of our house with life. This is the way of things. Sure as sure. I always take a picture of them in their glory. Right
