So much has shifted in my life since my last posting! I have so many thoughts, so many experiences each day and the idea of writing them all down - eloquently I might add - seems burdensome. AND - I'm being called to do it! Over the course of the past two weeks at least 4 people have said "you should blog about that" or "you should put that in writing." So, here goes.
My intention is to Blog at least once a week. Hmmmm.... we'll see how that goes eh?
Since we are half way into 2010 - looking back isn't my preference. However, to get you up to speed:
I celebrated my 45th Birthday in February and am so appreciative of where I am in my life today. It's been quite a ride and I finally feel like my feet are on the ground.
At the end of 2009 I officially changed careers. I left the corporate world behind and am now blissfully happy as a Certified Co-active Life Coach in my own practice. The rewards have been rich and plenty.
At first it was a bit awkward learning what it means to be self-employed. I had spent so many years doing the 9-5 thing that the idea of not actually having to go somewhere felt almost depressing. Okay, it was depressing! I felt like I'd been fired and the fact is, it was my choice.
I couldn't figure out what was so depressing about it until my husband said "honey, you didn't quit your job, you "changed careers." Ahhh... that felt so much better. I was so busy wondering if I was nuts to "quit" a perfectly good job, especially with the economy the way it was, that I hadn't considered the opportunity I had in front of me. I was doing exactly what I wanted to do. Fascinating how a shift in wording can make all the difference in the world eh?
Which leads me to now....
My days are filled with client calls, building my coaching practice, attending various networking events and pondering life as it unfolds in front of me. I love my job!
On family note: We have a new addition to our home - Tucker. Tucker is a 2 month old, curious, energetic, sweet gray tabby cat. He was a gift to me for Mother's day. My son decided it was time to bring a baby into the house again. Little did he know this would turn his once sane Mother into a complete knuckle head when it comes to the care and feeding and TLC that a kitten of this cuteness requires!
As a side note: Two of our three cats went to heaven in 2009 and our last born, Timber was seemingly down and lonely. It's taken Timber a full month to adjust and I'm pleased to say he is now a worthy mentor to the little bundle of energy.
As you may have surmised, Tucker has been quite the focal point and thus, he will have a page specifically dedicated to his life. Look for his page: Tuesdays with Tucker. I'm not sure how Timber will feel about this... and perhaps Timber will get Thursdays.... though I think if I went that far, my husband and son will likely have me committed!
In peace and love,
Robyn
