My greatest desire is to be of service and support to you. I’m here to help you find and align with your purpose and live into your most joyful life. 

Let me share the story of my journey to find my purpose and you may see something you can relate to in your life.

I began my career as a social worker and crisis intervention para-professional. Upon the birth of my son, my interests turned to children and I became a certified Montessori teacher at the lower elementary level. My listening and communications skills served me well in the classroom!

I loved teaching and for many years I felt on purpose.  After about 19 years, things began to change for me. I was tired of my small paycheck that barely covered my expenses. After the school hired a new director, I was unhappy with the direction the school was taking.  The workload was never ending and I got sick frequently. I was at a dead end for advancement but didn’t know what else I could do with my life. I felt miserable and found myself thinking hateful thoughts toward the people I thought were causing my misery. That was my wake-up call! I didn’t like who I was becoming but I didn’t know how to get back to myself.

Just show me the way out!

In sheer desperation and without really consciously knowing what I was doing, I began some powerful asking for a way out. One night I was sitting in my office at home and feeling particularly bad.  I knew this couldn’t be how my life was supposed to go.  So I shouted out to the Universe, “I know there’s got to be a way out! Just show me the way out!”

Immediately, my eyes fell upon a little book with the title, “The Way Out” on my bookshelf.  Chills!  “Wow,” I thought. “That was fast!”  It had been given to me years earlier and I had not read it. In fact, it had been in my basement until recently. The book said I should give up the struggle and let my Higher Self take over. This resonated with me, but I didn’t know how to do that. So, I kept asking for more clarification and guidance.

I let myself dream!

One Saturday I woke up, sat bolt upright and had an idea for a  process to get some clarity.  For the first time in many years, I let myself dream! The process involved setting the parameters for what I wanted, based on what I already knew I didn’t want.   I had no actual knowledge of the process I was using. It just felt right. Once I had gotten clarity on what I wanted I realized I had no idea where I could find a job like the one I had described to myself!  After brief reflection, I decided not to worry about it. I just released it to the Universe and resolved to keep an eye out for an opportunity. There was a sense of certainty  within me that something would come along.

I am grateful…

A couple of months later I was offered an opportunity with a direct sales company. I decided to go for it! That experience was so helpful to me in many ways and I am grateful for what I learned and how I grew. But after awhile I realized that it was a step along the way, and not my greatest joy or actual highest purpose.

…my first introduction to the Law of Attraction

In the meantime I had read Wallace Wattles’ book, “The Science of Getting Rich.” It blew my mind about what I could be, do and have! As a result of reading this book, my understanding of abundance completely changed. Mr. Wattles’ book was also my first introduction to the Law of Attraction. I began to ask for help from my Inner Being to figure out what my next step should be and to get clear on what mattered to me most.  I wanted to know, “How do I find my purpose?”

Soon I began attracting books and teachers that guided me to defining my passions, getting quiet and clearly focusing on my highest desires. I put Mr. Wattles’ suggestions of how to build a clear mental image to work. Because of that process, I attracted a coaching certification course within a few months. I knew right away that this was what I had been drawing to me and signed up that night!

I am on purpose…

The coach training was a year of hard work, but it served me well in preparing me to be a coach. Because I was passionate about being a coach, I kept at it!  And, I’ve continued my education to include specialties that I love.

I am now a certified Life Coach and the journey has been transformational for me on many levels. Because of finding my purpose I have expanded into a whole new world that is exciting and fulfilling. I am on purpose, I love my life and it is my powerful intention to continue to touch the lives of others.

I look forward to the opportunity to help you find your purpose too!
