INSIDE OUT

I'd be interested to know the "type" of person you are. Is your life "easy"? Are the days you live fun? Do you enjoy getting up in the morning (I don't mean, "are you a morning person"... I am definitely 'not'). I'm asking this because it seems like life comes pretty easy for me. I find it hard to believe that this isn't possible for everyone (excluding, of course, those suffering with a mental illness.. although I'd like to think they, too, can have an 'easier' life). I am a life coach. What this means to me is helping people on this journey of life. I don't have all the answers nor am I perfect myself. I do know that not everybody has that "someone" in their life to take them by the hand and say, "you CAN do this!! I believe in you and want to see you be the best version of yourself you can be!"

I have helped people through phobias, weight issues, future employment, parenting, abuse, marriage, and divorce. I want to help others. I have it in my heart to help people with relationships, both with themselves and others. I would have pursued a career in counseling but decided, thankfully, to have children and raise them. In the meantime, if someone out there reading this needs my help, I want to be there for you. If you see some of my parenting or family blogs and would like to know more, just email me. What 'you' can do in your own community today: I'm sure you know at least one person who could use help. I've heard so often how we need to change the world, one person at a time. If you haven't "changed the world" recently, why not try this? Is someone sick? Make them some soup. Don't bother asking them. They'll likely not want to bother you. I remember when someone came, without notice and brought me some stew after one of my children were born. I'll never forget that gesture! I barely remember some of the gifts that people gave me, but, that particular help... I remember. Is someone discouraged? Take them out for coffee and just listen. Is someone calling you for the umpteenth time and you're just too "busy" to talk? Answer the phone and ask them to come over or give them a listening ear. Is your home too "messy" to invite someone over? Make relationship more important than "keeping up with the Jones'" Is there someone you can think of to whom you have not forgiven? Try finding the means to forgive them. It will not only help them, it will help 'you' move on. Is your spouse upset by something you said or did. Try not going to bed angry. It's worked wonders for my marriage. The list doesn't stop here. Why not think of something you can do. More importantly... try following through right now. :) Back to easy living. I should mention, I have worked very hard to make my life "easy". The more I work at it, however, the easier it is to maintain. That's probably why it feels so easy right now. I've done a lot of prep work. Oh there are moments when life feels tough. But, never a day goes by where I can look back and think what a "tough" day that was. Here are some topics I'll touch on in other blogs: -Picking your Battles? Yup! Every one of them. -Work Ethics -Male vs. Female roles -Female emotions ... Keep checking for more!
