Reach out – they are missing you too!
While we are waiting for the new kitty to finish her preparations and launch herself into blogland and beyond, I have another tale to tell in my Creative Friends series. These fascinating friends just keep coming.
Earlier in my blog, I posted an article about a very special life coach who helped me to achieve great things with my life in the last few years. He is an amazing man - with a hat - and I am grateful for my continued connection with him. He is doing marvelous things.
But in this area I have been doubley blessed. My life has recently welcomed back, with big hugs and laughter, a wonderful woman who was the catalyst for my transformation. She opened my heart to the possibility of change and let me glimpse what was possible. She is responsible for my clarity on the career I wanted and my belief that I could have it and actually deserved it. Then with changing jobs and lives, we drifted into a blackhole which consumes many developing and developed friendships alike. The blackhole of ‘I’ll call/email/text them later’.
Then two years on I got the most heart warming email ever received (from anyone who isn’t my Big Dog). I will be eternally grateful to her for reaching out to me and taking the leap after reading about my green eyed monster on facebook. Now, two years after we last sat together eating our lunch in Millenium Gardens, she has come storming back into my life and I have realised how much I have missed her. And not only do I get to reconnect with a wonderful friend, but she comes with a bonus gift. She is now self-employed as a life coach, which is such a perfect fit for the woman who has coached me through many life experiences past and present. Now, I am taking full advantage of her pilot telephone group coaching session – ‘The Summer of Love’.
We are now three weeks into the nine week course and through these calls I have found the courage to set some pretty enormous goals, to push through some of my own self sabotaging behaviours and get cracking on those first steps on my journey to realising amazing things in my life. I have my Millionaire’s Outfit (which includes some pretty fabulous red sparkley stilletos of dizzying heights and a red bow tie) pinned up over my computer at home to help me find the right mind set when I need it (yes one of my goals involves making lots of money). And I have been given lots of ideas about my dancing desires by the three other amazing women who I share Tilla’s call with.
In fact, I need to spare a thought for these women. They are all such open and honest people and I feel truely honoured to be a part of this journey that we are all making together. With Tilla and my fellow Mojo hunters, I feel like the challenges I’m facing are happening in a very safe place and hope that I can give these special women even a little of the support I can feel from them. Working together I know that we are all going to find many ways to share our own distinct fabulousnesses with the world.
I will keep you updated on my progress and hope you will take the time to check out Tilla’s website (the most recent of my Creative Friends links). It might just be the kindest thing you do for yourself today.
