Team O

One night, before dinner, my boyfriend sat down to do a crossword puzzle and I decided to join him. A few minutes in, 11 across caught my eye: “t-e-a-m-o.” I said, “What the heck is a ‘team O’?” and saw that the clue said …“Spanish for I love you.” Te amo. We laughed and decided that moving forward, we'd call our partnership a “Team O.”

Team O and te amo are one and the same; different ways to view the same set of letters. Love does that. It facilitates new vision and by reframing what is already there, new possibilities appear regardless of whether or not anything changes.

As I was thinking of this today, one of my favorite Shel Silverstein books, “The Missing Piece Meets the Big O,” came to mind. If you are familiar with this story you will understand how suddenly ‘Team O’ had a deeper meaning when I realized…“that’s how WE roll.”
If you are not familiar with this story, please take seven minutes and view the adaptation below. I truly hope it inspires you to see yourself as a new creation.

Are you intersted in transforming yourself and creating a “team O?” Do you want the kind of relationship that inspires others? How about doing the work to become a Big O!! Find out how life coaching can support you. Contact me for a sample session on how you can make it happen.

Enjoy!

Imagine and Fulfill (IF only)

The dictionary defines "if" as a condition. Not very empowering, eh? So, I turned "if" on its ear. You see, I too, am an "IF" but I prefer to see the word, my initials, as possibility. Thanks to several years of ontological life coaching I have learned to transform conditions and circumstances into power and true expressions of myself. You can have that too.

Life coaching is future based. You have the power to create a new life. Envision the life you want.

What if the only thing in the way... is you?

Inspire your way to Freedom from past based limitations and patterns.

Imagine and Fulfill your Ideal Future with Intense Follow-through on the actions that will take you there.

IF only, IF only...
No more excuses.... Let's make it happen!

To Postpone My Dream No Longer

May I have the courage today
To live the life that I would love
To postpone my dream no longer
But do at last what I came here for
And waste my heart on fear no more
~John O'Donoghue

Will You?

You may be thinking, why work with a coach? Great question. You may ask yourself whether you can accomplish your goals on your own? Whether you can or not isn't really the issue... The question is will you? If you will, then coaching may not be for you. If, however, answering that had you hesitate even slightly, you may have already determined that you are unreliable to fulfill on your intentions. You are not alone. Most New Year's resolutions are just a faint memory by this time of year. Bottom line is many of us, when left to our own devices, will not produce results or at least not the results we really wish we had. If you struggle with weight loss that might look like a 10 lb yearly fluctuation but never eliminating the 40 pounds you would love to lose.

Are you interested in finally doing the thing you have always wanted to do, if only something were handled and no longer a concern? Are you interested in getting out of your own way to create the life of your dreams through life coaching by building awareness and creating support structures that would have you win whatever you take on. If you are into it, then coaching might be perfect for you.

What is that you yearn for? What do you wish you could finally get to? Is it a fitness goal? The relationship of your dreams? Writing that novel? Do you know what's in the way? Would it serve you to find out? Identifying that there is a gap between where you are and where you want to be is the beginning of the journey that will take you there. Life coaching assists in creating the directions to go and how things will look to you on that road.

Nada, Nada, Nada.... Not a Damn Thing.

Blank Canvas. This is the best way to begin, with nothing. Inside of that the possibilities are endless, right? Trouble is, most of us create while resisting. We create on top of past fears and filters instead of finding a way to start with nothing. What if I told you that you could transform any area of your life simply by ‘taking on’ nothing? What if you became that blank canvas? Do you see how you could create a life you love? How many of you are inspired and then thought of 10 reasons why you can’t? “Sure I could, if only…. I had the time, the right car, a better job… more money?”

What would your life look like if you managed to get all of those “if onlys” out of your way? Who could you be? What could you accomplish? What would you create? IF ONLY Life Coaching was established to help people eliminate their excuses and take a stand for themselves as perfectly creative, resourceful and whole. Still not buying it? Good, because it’s free. A very Wise woman once told me to focus on the “what” and the “how” will take care of itself. When the “what” is driving, all those road blocks will lose power and seem to fade way, if not disappear all together. Think of all that would be possible if nothing were in your way.

So, what do you need to let go of to get you to a place of nothing? Are you interested in a new relationship, but still holding on to the pain or disappointment of all your past loves? Are you interested in making more money but are not willing to find an opportunity that will pay you what you're worth? If you are interested in creating and designing the life you have always wanted, start here. Identify your “if onlys” in the area you wish to transform. What does that bring up for you? Is it uncomfortable for you to be all those limitations? Are you ready to breakthrough all those barriers now? Brian Tracy had the right idea when he said, "To get what you've never had, you must do what you've never done." Your commitment can take you places you never imagined. Shall we?
