friends, family and clients, "What do I do and what do I do best?" The answers mostly came in the form of "You've helped me do this or that . . . You've helped me see . . . I've benefited by now living a centered, awakened life . . . " One reply came in a more direct fashion. One friend said, "There's always the life coach idea we talked about. One of your strong suits is to see into a person and redirect their thinking in a positive way. Sort of like a jump start on the battery of life."

As I was expressing myself to my husband today, I realized that I made the decision to pursue Life Coaching, not for economic reasons, but because I have been lead through asking (prayer) and meditation (listening) that this is what I'm supposed to do for ME. It's not for him, not for our household budget, not for any other reason than I have a HUGE desire to work with others, a HUGE desire to be of service, a HUGE desire to be on my own right path and true to my own self.

My motive is selfish. I desire to work with others to help them grow and heal because every time I share in that healing, a little part of me heals.

Every time I have that experience, I am honored and energized; and, it becomes a validation that I truly am in alignment with all good things.

I must always choose myself. If I am taking actions for someone else's approval, I set myself up for rejection and disappointment. When I am taking actions from a place of inner guidance and alignment with my higher purpose, I feel joy, peace and happiness.

It's risky business to commit to being true to yourself. There have been times in the last few days that it felt like I was having open heart surgery without the anesthesia. At other times, it felt like there were spears thrust right into the center of me. AND, there were times when I felt indescribable relief and freedom and peace.

There is a story in the Bible in the old Testament about Abraham and Isaac. (This is not a quote, I am not going to look it up so if I am not accurate or wrong, please feel free to contact
