In which you might need a little life coaching

Don't we all? As I mentioned last week, I realized that I have woefully neglected myself the past few months and I am making up for lost time. Mercifully, the self is quite forgiving. I have worked through some issues in the past week that have dogged me for years simply because I decided I was ready to really pay attention to those little things that niggle away at the back of your mind but are never serious enough to demand real attention. It is astonishing how resilient the inner self is and how quickly and gratefully it responds to focused effort.

I'm not trying to be cryptic--my demons are mild and harmless fellows for the most part. For example, last week I realized for the first time that there are a few areas in which I am a people-pleaser. I don't like treading on toes or exerting my authority--stop laughing, I can hear you--but I discovered that it is precisely the times that I am uncomfortable doing so that I need to be able to feel confident in my choices. Oh, dear. I've slipped into cryptic again, haven't I? In that case, let's move on.

When I realized I wanted to do some personal growth work, I assembled my toolkit--books, podcasts, my journal. I printed out three months' worth of Daily Oms that I had neglected to really read and began to highlight them. And I found Christine Arylo's Self-Love Studio. Right now Christine is offering a FREE seven week teleclass with some of the most amazingly motivated and inspirational guru-chicks! I was intrigued by the fact that the class was free and at a convenient time--9pm Eastern on Wednesdays--but when I saw the roster of speakers, I signed up.

I should admit that I was a trifle skeptical and looked around for some fine print, but the class is entirely free. You can purchase MP3s of the classes if you like as well as some ancillary materials, but you can also just take advantage of the teleclass and invest only your time. I am sorry to say that I found the class too late to hear the first speaker, but I made it in time to hear Kimberly Wilson, and if you sign up now, you'll be right on track for the five remaining classes. If you're worried about spam, I will tell you that I have received two e-mails from Christine's studio with class details and that's it.

So, a little free life coaching from some amazing women--what's not to love?

I have a wonderful morning routine that feeds my soul and readies me for the day. It starts with that click on "Deanna's Blog" . . .

Thank you, Deanna, for always posting that "just right" idea to spark my creativity or provide a balm.

I recognize all of the effort you put into everything you do, and am very appreciative that you are exactly the person you've grown to be.
