but on the way we see them.”
~ Leo Tolstoy
LAUGH, LOVE, LIVE
Listening, questioning and sharing my experiences comes naturally to me. As does seeing the best in others. You could say that I’ve been coaching for most of my life. Those who know me well say I’m always looking for the positive and trying to get the most out of every day.
In 2008 my younger sister and only sibling ended her strong and graceful journey of illness and passed away from breast cancer at the age of 31. She was an amazing woman, a cherished daughter, a loving wife and mother of 2 little boys, an adored grade school teacher and my best friend. Even though it was heartbreaking I was able to take beauty and positivity from the experience. It was then that I realized I wanted to help and support others in doing the same in their lives. I decided that coaching was my calling.
Later that same year I completed the Foundations of Coaching course at Adler International. Then in 2010 I became a Certified Coach through the Coach Training Alliance and Purposeful Life Coaching was born! I feel so fortunate to have the amazing experience of taking my skills and passion and using them professionally.
I believe that there is beauty and perfection in everything! Only we can choose where to put our focus and how we are going to allow things to affect us. We all have a choice. We can either look towards the “negatives” and give our attention and energy to those things that cause us pain, fear and worry. Or, we can look towards the “positives” and embrace all of the things that bring us joy, hope, love and inspiration. I will always choose to look for those things that bring a smile to my face, a spring in my step and a warmth to my heart.
I am also a very strong believer and conscious participant in the Law of Attraction. Being aware of my emotions and the direction of my thoughts, along with choosing to live life through the “positives” have brought amazing people and experiences into my life. I live believing that I can be, do and have anything I want! My life today is living proof! I truly am living a Purposeful Life. My Purposeful Life. Living my life not only with purpose, but on purpose as well. I very much look forward to being a part of your journey while you create your Purposeful Life!
“We’ve all heard of the saying live, love, laugh. Now think of it the other way around. Because when you are laughing and loving you truly are living.” ~ Me speaking at my sister’s funeral.
