Life Coaching! Yay!

After a few months apart, my life coach and I have finally re-connected. I moved and she underwent surgery.

For those who are new to the blog, a life coach isn’t a therapist. Neither is she a priest, although my coach happens to be named Priest. Life coaches, more or less, are there to help you figure out what you want in life, form a plan and stick to the plan.

A good life coach (and let me say now that mine is very good) will ask you hard questions about why you haven’t reached goals you’ve made for yourself. It’s almost like therapy in the sense that I’ve discovered, through our talks, little nuggets of truth about myself I didn’t know before.

My life coach doesn’t give advice or help me analyze my childhood. She holds up a mirror to me and helps direct my vision and thoughts to see what is staring back at me. Having her around this last year helped more than I can say.  She’s kept me from getting sidelined by decisions I nearly made that weren’t the best in light of what was important to me.

When I think of everything I’ve gone through, I know it wasn’t an accident we made contact. I’m grateful to know her and have to give her credit for her part in my journey this past year. Please do me a favor and check her site out. If you’ve ever wondered about life coaches, what they do and if they could help you, drop me a line. I’d be happy to share more.
