The Coaching Lighthouse

I have heard many talk about the last ten years and the closing of a decade. For me it has been a whirlwind of events over the past 10 years, as I am sure for many of you. I am grateful for these events for making me a better, smarter and wiser person. I definitely have more character than before!!

As I pondered the New Year coming upon me I thought if the year that had just past. Is there anything left undone that needs to be finished before Ican take full advantage of the soon to be new year? What came to mind for me was to accept the blessings of the year. That means that even the challenges faced had blessing in them and I wanted to acknowledge the gifts each one of them had brought into my life. I realized that the challenges of the year meant that even though I had them (and we all do) I am not alone. I am supported by others and even forces that I do not see. I believe that my friend that lost her battle to CF this year, has guided me already in different areas in my life. The financial difficulties have made me more wise to being frugal and loving the smaller things in life. The personal relationship struggles that I have had have taught me everyone deserves the truth and the opportunity to shine because of knowing the truth. All of these (and many more I am sure) in one way or another have taught me to love, to be open to the gifts of life and to let go and trust that things will work out the way that is best, even though many times it is may not be the way I had anticipated. To trust in my own divinity and purpose in this life to empower others to take on themselves and their world to ultimately love themselves, is a huge task and one that I happily bare.

My wish for you in 2010 May peace break into your home and may thieves come to steal your debts. May the pockets of your jeans become a magnet for $100 bills. May love stick to your face like Vaseline and may laughter assault your lips! May happiness slap you across the face and may your tears be that of joy! May the problems you had, forget your home address! May 2010 be the best year yet!!

In my next entry -Goal Setting- I will outline some basic tools for goal setting. Use it however you wish and works best for you. Always let me know how you are doing and post for the learning for all!
