Here Comes the Sun

I feel elated this morning. Yesterday I had a great, great coaching day. My clients leave me awestruck--they are wonderful and I love every luscious minute of coaching them. My sessions felt flowing and fun and full of possibility. I had my last supervision of Certification, and it really drove home for me how much I have learned.

My coach Mary and I had the most incredible session; Mary took me up the tube and into a perspective called "Above and Beyond." We celebrated how far I have come in one little tiny year! Last January I was just starting my Core Curriculum courses and yesterday I completed Certification! She was there for my first Fundamentals course and my last In The Bones and saw my evolution, so our "look back" was particularly poignant for me.

I completed with my Zither pod last night and am left with so much gratitude for each of my classmates and my CPL, Stephanie Lovinger. I learned to fail mightily and fall on my face in front of all of them and soak up so much learning at the same time. With them I shared so many triumphs and successes and laughter and tears, and I got some hellaciously good coaching from them along the way. We are all 100000 times the coaches we were when we started six months ago.

My oral exam is scheduled for April. I go to Leadership in less than six weeks. I have found my true calling; a whole new world opened up for me this year. The last ten years or so have been full of massive growth and change for me, but this past year? Personal growth on 'roids! I love and accept myself more now than ever before; I am learning to treat myself with kindness, gratitude, and humor. I know what my life's purpose is and am excited and thrilled to reach for it. I have let go of so much "yuck" and reached out and grabbed so much "yum!"

The sun is smiling down on me today. My heart is light. I am ready.
