My recent journal entry on http://allaboutlifecoaching.com/life-coaching-blog
Wow, to define my purpose... My instincts tell me that my purpose is to touch people with my ability to mirror that which they cannot see in themselves. How? That is harder for me to define, but I want to say that the 'how' will be revealed to me as I continue on my own personal journey of healing. I truly believe that if I will only be true to myself and just be ME... my gifts will shine and reach those whose lives I am meant to impact.
I believe that I am a great listener and have a natural ability to put others at ease. I have great empathy for people who are 'searching for their true passion, their purpose, their true selves'. By my own personal story and stories of others I have love & respect for and learned so much from, I can lead by example and by heartfelt sharing as I continue to learn thru my own journey.
I believe that to contribute to society as a whole starts with making a positive difference one person at a time ~ we can change the world for the better by touching just one person who, in turn, will impact the people in his/her life in a positive way. That is huge! I dream of a world filled with people loving people, for LOVE of oneself and others is, I believe, the key. To be a part of that is my goal ~ one person at a time.

Recently my life coach, Maia Berens, asked me to describe how You University has changed my life in the couple of months since I started my journey. Following is my response:
Since making the decision to join You University, my life has changed for the better in the following ways:

Since making the decision to join You University, my life has changed for the better in the following ways:
- I am more aware of the physical manifestation of feelings that are not being expressed in a loving and healthy way.
- I realize when I need to use tools given to me through You U...
- I am beginning to really notice my thoughts - when I begin to see old "negative" thought patterns, I immediately begin to think "what tool would be best for me right now?" This helps me to shift more towards loving, positive thoughts more quickly.
- I am beginning to really look for ways to be more loving to myself - purposely choosing to take care of ME.
- I am definitely seeing and following my intuitive side much more than I was.
- Those closest to me are seeing the difference. I have had more people approach me to find out what it is that I am doing. I believe that it is obvious to others that I am feeling better about myself - even if they cannot really pinpoint what it is they are seeing. I know that I am sending out more positive thoughts and it shows.
- I am beginning to take steps necessary for better health.. I have started meditating, am drinking more water and have made the decision to quit smoking. I have researched and gathered information to help me in getting healthier.
- I am no longer afraid to fail - I realize now that life truly is a school and that I create what is manifested in my life. I will learn something valuable if I don't succeed at something right away.
- I now realize that I need to recognize my willingness or lack thereof and to recommit to my decisions on a daily basis.
- I am excited about my future again!!
- I have learned that I am worthy... HUGE
This is so empowering! I knew that I was changing and growing... I just didn't really think to take stock in it and now realize that the changes and the shifting is much greater than I could have imagined it would be! I truly believe this list could go on...

My journey has only just begun
I am on a journey to discover the real ME. The journey started the day I was born, but just recently I decided that it was time to look more deeply into "why" I am who I am.
I began some serious soul searching about 2 years ago when I experienced a nervous breakdown that was the beginning of a new chapter in my life. I was 43 years old, struggling with mid-life crisis and a fresh 'empty nester'. I was asking myself some very serious questions about who I am and what I want to do when I grow up! Now that my 4 grown kids were out on their own adventures, I simply didn't know what my place was on this planet. I realized I didn't know ME at all!
I began researching several different programs and reading a myriad of books in search of something I could relate to... something that could help me in discovering my passions, my calling.
One day I came across a FREE journaling community and began reading people's blogs. I liked what I was reading. Real people, from all walks of life - many who were on a similar journey in their lives. This is where my story begins.
As I journaled and became more and more familiar with all the information available to me through this site, I uncovered a treasure. An amazing "Fairy Godmother" whose name is Maia Berens came to life for me in her movie and emotion-based coaching site, You University. This blog will be about my experiences as I go through this coaching and train to be a life coach myself.
Follow me in my journey as I make major transformations in my life from a victim mentality to a woman who is learning to love herself again and discovering the real ME finally!
