February 2004
At the beginning of
each year, I sit down to think about what I learned during the past
year, and what I would like to bring into my life for the coming
year. It always amazes me how when I set intentions and themes for
the year, lessons that support those show up in my work and personal
life. Last year's theme ("Commitment to my true self.") was helpful
in keeping me focused on finding my own voice, speaking up more
about what I want and like, and really listening to my inner wisdom.
This year, my theme is "Live each day as a precious gift." I chose
this theme because I know this year is going to be full of both
professional and personal challenges, as I manage my growing
coaching practice, as well as oversee the construction of our new
home. My coaching and facilitation work is very exciting to me, and
it is easy for me to get caught up in working long hours and
weekends (especially in the winter, when it is 20 degrees outside).
I don't want to lose sight of why I enjoy my work so much: that
every hour I get to spend with a client is a precious gift and an
opportunity to support you in realizing your professional dreams and
goals. That keeps me focused and fresh.
I want to wake up every day filled with the wonder of a new day, and
all the possibilities that it holds. I want to nurture and care for
myself, while living each day in gratitude and grace. This year, one
of my intentions is to be good to myself, and take time each day to
reflect on all I have, what I need, and how I can honor God in my
actions and attitudes. I want to laugh heartily each day, and find
joy in all things.
I hope that this year you will join me in embracing and living every
moment and every day as precious gifts. Thank you for the privilege
of sharing your professional journey.
