At the expense of stepping in muck and stubbing my right toe, my eyes become diverted from the potholes to my neighbor’s dirt strip of land separating her house from mine. The long patch of rock infested, abandoned, dirt is mysteriously exploding with blossoming wild daisies. Dismissing my throbbing toe, I am drawn to these fearless adventurers who are valiantly exposing their optimistic faces. “How is it possible,” I ask myself, “that something so beautiful can blossom in such a barren and unprotected place?” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dd3547c81a5303e9b909ada/82d4634d-876a-4cca-8788-030b93993242/tempImageOb372a.jpg BEAUTY STEMS FROM STRUGGLE - Beauty Stems from Struggle. There is no real beginning, because I wasn’t aware of any of it until I was shaken awake in the middle somewhere near what I thought was my end. By then I was so lost, I didn’t even know how to proceed. So, I’ll start in the place that I have entrusted to teach me the beginning, middle and the end…my soul. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dd3547c81a5303e9b909ada/41a35eb1-0def-4e8e-9ac4-06c402486646/IMG_4145.jpeg BEAUTY STEMS FROM STRUGGLE Its hours past the time of the children’s rescue and the quiet of an empty house impregnates me with the sound of my deepened breath. Abandoned kid items trail through the maze of rooms. They have been left behind in an early morning evacuation; superheroes' and kings’ costumes, and wet paint brushes sit still soaking into the sofa. I don’t know how or where to start. Crystallizing a career, scrubbing the strawberry stains off the carpet, or confronting why I am unable to deal with anything at all...especially my children. https://www.shellilether.com/disclaimer daily 0.75 2023-09-22 https://www.shellilether.com/terms-of-service- daily 0.75 2023-09-22 https://www.shellilether.com/new-page-20 daily 0.75 2023-09-20 https://www.shellilether.com/new-page-8 daily 0.75 2023-09-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dd3547c81a5303e9b909ada/e080e69c-6b8f-4b1c-85e6-027b559077ef/IMG_5879.jpg WHY LIFE COACHING? - 6. Gather Wisdom Life coaches embody mindsets that are committed to learning and growth. From Rumi, to Steven Covey, Mother Teresa, to the people I meet each day, I search and gather the words and wisdom needed to motivate my family forward. It’s my business to be curious about everything that I don’t know. Year after year my blank-papered journals become encyclopedias of the inspirations and life skills that serve as patterns for the values I weave into the foundation of my home. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dd3547c81a5303e9b909ada/93f96edc-8dff-4370-bac3-f6d94d61f365/Screenshot+2023-09-21+at+12.44.58+PM.png WHY LIFE COACHING? - 2. Accountability and Adulthood Even in adulthood, I operated with the same blueprint of powerlessness I used as a child. Convinced I was surely a victim of circumstance, I kept a laundry list of reasons why I couldn’t function close at hand. When one of those reasons fell short, I could always revert to blaming my oldest and most reliable crutch – my childhood. I was habitually trapping myself in a perpetual state of tortured adolescence, stunting my growth toward emotional adulthood. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dd3547c81a5303e9b909ada/a216f9db-8e4c-4353-9150-587cbb9c0e82/IMG_5881.jpg WHY LIFE COACHING? - 4. Act your way into change… or “fake it till you make it.” “What if I just can’t do it?” I remember asking my mentor. “Well, then you just fake it till’ you make it.” While belief drives behavior, behavior also drives belief. I may have felt unstable, but by behaving with stability and steadiness, like showing up and acting like the mother I wanted to be but didn’t yet feel I was, my body began to believe it. I was acting my way into the change I wanted to see. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dd3547c81a5303e9b909ada/878da85e-4141-4b14-a351-14ef97da85b5/Screenshot+2023-09-20+at+5.09.51+PM.png WHY LIFE COACHING? - While I’ve been a certified life coach for over a decade, only more recently have I realized just how much life coaching has saved my own life…
