It’s hard to imagine the transition I’ve had since a year ago in January 2017 when I called you after seeing you on LVV with Laura. When we first chatted, I felt stuck, was carrying a lot of pain, bitterness, anger, and resentment. I wanted to heal my life and live with ease and joy, contentment and pleasure but did not know where to begin. You first coached my when I was feeling physically sick, alone, and broken, and unable to enjoy the beautiful moments in my life. Your kind words, your gentle guidance and your calming listening ear lead me to a place of safety where I felt secure to explore and let go of past hurt, loss, disappointment, anger, bitterness, and resentment. And then that left me with what I called “a blank slate”. I remember that so clearly. I went from feeling stuck, to doing a lot of work to rid myself of the above heaviness, and then I said now what???? I looked at my white journal papers for a month, and I remember you telling me to write down all the things that filled me with joy, what did I love to do???? Well, my beautiful healing coach, what a gift your guidance has been to me. In a short summary, while I continued to do the work of “cleaning out old closets in my soul and mind that no longer served my purpose” a new space opened up. And I began to fill the space with what I love to do. In early spring, I enjoyed a bike rides in the forest. In summer, I kayaked and swam, and watched many many sunsets. In the fall my husband and I hiked through the forest, and enjoyed some back country trails. Now in the winter, I’ve started a community walking group. We walk 3x/week. I’ve bought snowshoes, and am getting cross country skis. I’ve helped get a strength training location organized by using an available space at our fire hall. Training is scheduled to begin in January. I am part of volunteer grief support group in 2 locations – we meet every 2 weeks, using Dr. Alan Wofelt’s centre for loss resources. What a wonderful healing journey that has been. I have a whole new circle of friends. And I’ve started to offer Whole Food Plant Based cooking classes. I’ve had quite an interest from people to use foods to heal their body, and so I started to offer people to come see what I eat, how I cook etc…Very great success with that. And I’m loving connecting with my son and daughter. I call them every Sunday now, and if they are busy, I send them a text letting them know I’m thinking of them. My son is now starting to look forward to our call, and we are having some great conversations. They are my treasures – my children. My daughter and I have a much much better relationship. I can’t wait to see where we will be in as a family in another year! My husband and I are booked for a 7 week holiday starting next Friday. We will be in Arizona for most of that time, and I can’t wait to have all day to absorb, sunshine, swimming, and hiking, exploring the desert. And having time to just relax and rejuvenate. Anyway, that’s just a very short summary of my journey that you helped get started for me. Thank you so much. I now feel healthy, whole, and well. A year ago I was sick, felt stuck, and felt sorry for myself. Thank you!
