We Are on Our Way to Achieving Our Dreams

Achieving dreams is the goal of my coaching practice, this website and this blog. So you now know my dream....being a midlife coach in a big way. I am achieving my dream by plugging away one day at a time and reaching out to one person at a time.


Wouldn't be nice if we could just have a dream, believe in it and it would just magically come true? Wow we would dream big then wouldn't we? Big fat out of this world dreams that would just set the world on fire.

Well guess what I am encouraging you to do just that dream those big out of the world dreams. With consistent effort they will pay off. No they won't "just" come true but if you are willing to do the work I believe nothing is impossible.


The one caveat I would offer is that your dream must be in alignment with who you truly are. When that important piece is in place and if you are willing to put in the work...nothing is insurmountable.


So what now ?? Start dreaming and we'll begin to tackle how to achieve them.

Patience Is a Virtue?

I wrote just a few days ago about some changes coming to the site. I am very excited about these changes and have been spending most of my free moments working on them. This is great because the work takes on a life of its own. I get full of creative energy. I am positive. I see the end in site and I really like what I see.

So what's the problem? My knowledge of actual programing especially html is pretty much nonexistent.

I create the ideas and how I would like them presented and then hand them over to the people who actually know how to make the changes. And then I take my number in line and wait......and wait.....and wait. I do a little self-talk and tell myself it is okay, it will eventually happen and yet I check the site each day a child like expectation that something will have happened.

So far....nothing.

Well patience is a virtue, though I have not always been one for being virtuous. I am already contracted with the people working on the site or I would have moved on to greener or at least swifter pastures. Sometimes I just sit at the end of the day and cheer myself on with the thought that tomorrow something will happen.

When the practical side of me emerges though I think.....okay, they will eventually make the changes. Painful lesson learned about choosing people who you have to hand work over to.....next time choose more wisely.

Until then though....I am back to practicing being virtuous.

Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes

There are changes about at Achieve Your Dream Coaching and I couldn't be more excited. Our focus is going to be leaning towards all the lovely midlife women transitioning into what I believe can be the best years of our lives.

Do I say that because that is where I am? NO.... I say that because I have spent sometime looking at the past present and future.....maybe because it is the beginning of the new year and I see many reasons to be happy about this transition in life.

Sure some of our issues or concerns may be different but our teenage concerns were different than those as young children. Our college graduate years gave us different things to think about than when we were young marrieds with children. So really why should this be any different?

Well it shouldn't. I will continue to use a coaching approach and encourage you to be the best you can be despite what we each much face.....I think it's going to pretty great.

I look forward to having all of you grow with me and all your input will be much appreciated.

Talk to you soon.....

Off and Running

My stepson and his girlfriend left for Germany this afternoon and for me that officially signals the end of the holiday season. It was great to have them home and especially great to have Andy (my stepson) out of Iraq.

Life is much different there from what I am used to in the good old USA. My stepson has given me the gift of understanding a little more about the world and about what war time is truly like.

I have never wanted for much in my own life though I am sure that at certain points I felt as though my life was quite a struggle.

In perspective though my life has been crammed full of abundance...I just couldn't always see it. Andy has opened my eyes to a lot regarding that.

As for me I am looking over the last few weeks of family and fun. Regarding the death of a former President and of a dictator who brought death and destruction to many and now getting ready to dig in and get going on what I want to bring to the world.

I will not ever reach the level of a President or thank goodness a dictator but I have the opportunity to leave this world a better place that I entered it and that's what I intend to do.
