Beep! Beep!







Tooting your own horn.  How comfortable is that for you?  Do you acknowledge your strengths, pat yourself on the back, and offer those strengths for the benefit of others?  I was challenged this week to brag about myself.

Ack!  I could literally feel my hands clawing at my neck in terror!  B.R.A.G.! Are you kidding me???  Didn't your mother tell you to never brag?!  Really, who am I to sing my own praises?  That's for others to do if they so deem me worthy...oh crud.  There it is, isn't it?

I thought I'd given up looking to others to validate me, taken back my own power & learned to stand in my own light.  *slap on the forehead here* OK, here goes - just the facts:

• 5 years ago both my parents made their transitions as did my my marriage.
• I was working full time as a third grade teacher,
• Began a masters degree program for Reading Specialists,
• Hired my first life coach, then a second,
• Enrolled in a full coach training program
• Started coaching clients,
• Completed my masters degree,
• Given a position as a Reading Specialist at my school,
• Passed the Virginia State Reading Exam,
• Finished my coaching classes,
• Went to Hawaii to celebrate,
• Lead a team for Divorce Support online at Sparkpeople.com
• Continued to take coaching courses from various sources,
• Started several triads & diads to practice and record coaching sessions,
• In the process, built my own website and blog,
• Facebook pages for Stirring the Spirit Within & Stress-Free Teacher Zone,
• Came out of the closet at work as a Life Coach,
• Started my Inner Peace Warriors support group at school,
• Presented my first two workshops at church (Hey, It's Spirit Calling-Can You Hear me Now? & Spirit Vision),
• Hosted several teleclasses: Tools for Spiritual Coaching, One Minute Meditation, and (co-hosted) a short series on Breaking the Clutter Habit and Creating Your Inner/Outer Sanctuary.
• All while reclaiming & remodeling many areas of my home.
• Became certified by the International Association of Coaching!

I have been told by my clients that I am a force of calm & balance, supportive, client focused and validating, ask probing questions to help them see things in a new perspective or come to ah-ha moments..shift from a place of fear to hope...reach beyond what they thought was possible...find and implement answers to their own questions or goals...
