I started this blog as a reflection on how life is a journey. In life we are always going somewhere. Here to there, places like work, for groceries, to the movies, on a date, etcetera, etcetera. And to make any journey successful, be it large or small, we need to be prepared.
 
But as I wrote, I realized there was more going on than just getting somewhere. Underneath the elements of aspirations, goals and desires was the moving force of time. I have the image of time being like one of those moving walkways at the airports that takes us from one gate to another. And our lives are the dramas that are being played out upon the walkway of time.
 
As I see it, one steps upon the path of Time while in the womb and one doesn’t get off until one takes one’s last breath. Time carries us along and it’s what happens within our lives that creates the stories that makes each of us unique, complex and interesting.

“With great respect and Love, I welcome you with all my heart.”

These are the words one of my spiritual teachers welcomed us with at the beginning of each program. Welcomed in this way, I sank into a vast, quiet landscape within my heart. It was like I was a little boat sitting in a sea of love that was buoyed by waves of expanded awareness. This welcome was a reminder that someone saw within me, within each of us, something noble, something Divine, something much bigger than we were able to see within ourselves. These words were a reminder of why we were there and what we could aspire to.
​
Coaching clients is a journey taken together. Hand in hand, I stand with my clients on the threshold of the unique landscape of their life. When the door to their life opens, together we enter a private, wild and beautiful world, exploring life’s challenges, dreams and goals. It is a path of discovery. And no matter what struggle or hardship is presented, there is always a vein of gold that presents itself. My own challenging journeys have always offered rich rewards.
 
Each person carries a jewel within their heart. And this jewel carries the blueprint for an individual’s best life. And that is what I coach to, the unique brilliant treasure each person can become, their ultimate goodness, beauty, potential and fulfillment.

So I too, am so happy to say to each of you:

“With great respect and Love, I welcome you with all my heart.”
