Here I am…
“Ecco mi!” What a beautiful common refrain that I would hear in Italy whenever someone I was looking for walked into the room — a simple “here I am” that expresses a gift of presence, that person’s fullness and generous availability.
When you decide to become more intentional about your life and you want to work with someone to support the creation of the life that you desire, it’s important who you choose to join you along the way. When it comes to being a life coach, spiritual director, teacher, writer and consultant, my experiences have formed how I show up for other people. Moving into this stage of my life after a career as an administrator and educator, raising four children, surviving cancer and the end of a long marriage, I am excited to support caring people and organizations who seek expansive, holistic growth. We all do the hard work of transforming obstacles and adversity into blessings along the way and my life has been no different.
I would love to be there for you for through all that your journey involves while you take next steps and we see together the amazing beauty and growth in it all!
