Purging

Sweet spouse suggested that we go through all the bags of clothes we got from friends. The hand-me-down network is on point BUT we cannot reap the true benefits until they are sorted, washed &  integrated.  Sooo, we went for it. We sorted the new clothes for laundering; folded & bagged the "too small" for donation & made a box of favorites for the younger child. We have lots of laundry to do but it will be nice to have "new" clothes in our dressers & closets. Yey.

Teamwork

Forbes Thought Of The Day
“ Experience and enthusiasm are two fine business attributes seldom found in one individual. ” —William Feather

Last night my girlfriends & I arrived at our monthly volunteer location to cover the overnight shift. We talked about parenting, relationships, work, frustrations & aspirations. Each of us shared our experiences & our hopes & decided to work together to inspire each other to our goals. It's a lot easier to hold on to a dream when a team of well wishers are cheering you on, praying for you & brainstorming with you & coaching you. Find some like minded people of varied experience & see if it will give you the push you need to step forward into your dream.

Blessings on your journey.

Your gurl,

Why I've decided to coach.

I've been saying that I was going to be a life coach, someday. I keep helping people plan and organize and think things through. I have training in pastoral care, Circle of Trust and I have a degree in Transportation and Logistics. I've been an administrative pastor and a logistics professional. But I've been waiting to get "trained" to do this. I think my whole life has been training.

A few weeks ago, one of my closest friend asked me, "When are you going to start getting paid to run other people's lives?" That really struck me. Then a few other friends said similar things to me. I think this is the season to begin. I'm signing up for formal training. I've bartered with a nutritional coach for some mutual coaching and I've started this blog and a Facebook page. I may change the name later but for now, I'm considering my coaching method the "gurlfriend technique". Who is the first person you call when you need to think it through, talk it through, or clean and organize your life, home or office? You call your gurl. The one who knows how to do it. Not everyone has that friend so here I am. Call your gurl, she'll coach you through it.
