I love summer! Love, love, love summer! If you know me at all, you probably know this about me. I love everything about it. The sunshine, the kids out of school, my annual trip to Maine, evening bike rides and my favorite of all – floating in the amazing waters of Lake Ouachita. The summer months are sacred ones for me. They are slow and sweet and allow my soul to simmer. And while I get a little melancholy as it winds down, I also love to return to the rhythm of the fall season.
This is the time of year that I shift gears. Time to re-group and re-calibrate! I’ve got kids to get back in school (one in sixth grade, one back to college, and one returning for graduate work), new daily schedules to coordinate (this years after school activities for my sixth grader include tennis and Cross-Fit), travel dates to figure out, (this fall I’m speaking from Kentucky to Chicago to New Orleans), football games, teacher conferences, holiday plans, and on and on… But you know what? I love every minute of it!
Just last week, I was amazed by an insight my brother-in-law, who’s a doctor in a rural community in Wisconsin, shared with me. He said he’s been having these interesting conversations with his patients and he’s finding that many of them wish something dramatic would happen in their lives so they’d have to change everything. They’re almost wishing they’d have an accident or get cancer so they could quit their jobs and ‘get real’ with their lives and their families. THIS SHOCKED ME! I love my life so much! So I decided to do some research of my own, and guess what….I found some similarities. I couched it in different words, but some of the people I spoke to were just BORED with their lives. They felt like they were just existing, going through the motions… and yeah, maybe having something happen that shakes things up wouldn’t be so bad!
I believe there’s a better way to live! I’ve found it and I want you to experience it. So I developed my Show Up, Be Bold, Play Big Coaching Program to show the way! Because I believe we can design a life that works for us – I’ve done that for myself and I want to help you do the same. My fall coaching program is underway and I would love for you to be a part of it – especially if you’re one of those people who wants to ‘fully live’ each day! We’ll start in September and I have just a few spots left to fill. If you’re interested, you can get all the nitty-gritty details by clicking here or by reaching out to me at [email protected] If you’re wondering if this program is right for you – reach out to me, let’s talk. You already know inside if this is calling to you……
Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions. ~Dalai Lama
I love this quote! I get it. To have what I want, to live my life to its very fullest. To laugh and live and revel in the joy of my life – I have to take action. Take Action! Do something for YOU today!
