Coaching: My Soul Career
I have yet to find my soulmate, but I found my “soul-career” in 2004 when I discovered and fell in love with coaching.
The attraction: helping people have the lives they longed for – connecting people to their best selves to achieve their deepest, truest desires, the ones that bring joy and fulfillment to them on a daily basis.
Clutter Free and Clear:
Take Charge of Your Time and Space
A how-to book to simplify your life at http://clutterfreeandclear.com/
and am currently completing my own full-length declutter ebook).
My own joy and fulfillment come from learning constantly about the newest techniques and wisdom to help myself and my clients and having the opportunities to share my learning and experience with others.
I get to live my passion on a daily basis and I want to help you do that too.
On a personal note….
I treasure living in northern Indiana because I’m ten minutes from my beloved, amazing son, Jeff, and his family I adore: wife Jennifer, and their two daughters, my “Angel Girls” Alexis and Nicolette; I’m a half hour or so from Lake Michigan; I’m close to my Dad and brother, and have a beautiful flower garden that fills my soul daily.
