Dear ,
 

It's been a while since I have reached out, as it has been a busy 2011 with lots of coaching, creating, connecting, entrepreneuring, parenting, writing, loving, traveling, envisioning, GLOWing, organizing, planning, socializing, and downright living. I am excited about the blossoming possibilities for not only my Excavive work and the expanded professional direction I am taking, but also my upcoming marriage. For those of you who have not heard, I am getting married at the end of this month, April 30th. I love the idea of being a wife and stepmom, while bringing my new family into what has already been created by who I am and what I do. As I said to my daughter last week, there is an abundance of love for everyone to swim in, and I am inspired by the expression of that love to our collective families, friends, clients and communities.

 

After being single for almost 10 years, I can't wait to make the same level of personal commitment to my Texas fiancé, as I did to my business when Excavive was born eight years ago. I knew without a doubt that I had to do what I do- to inspire and empower others to be their best selves. It is with the same conviction that I know with certainty that Frank is my soul mate and that we have much to offer each other and others through this partnership. We have envisioned our life together and are co-creating our relationship, even while we are apart (he is in Texas, I am in Kentucky.)

 

So, to answer the BIG question... are you moving? The answer is no... I am keeping my base in Louisville, but am also expanding what I do to Texas and beyond. The cool thing about coaching (and the life that I have been creating the past 10 years) is that I can do what I do wherever I am and wherever the client is located, whether it's on top of a mountain, on a sunny beach or in the comfort of home. So that means, I can coach you wherever I am and YOU can get coaching wherever you are, and the miracles can continue to happen. The beauty of this amazing life is that we get to choose our journey and co-create it with the people we meet along the way. And with the wonders of technology, we can get started any time, any place.

 

I am convinced without a doubt that there are many more people who need my coaching, speaking and writing gifts of clarity, creativity, focus and fierceness, and it's not geographically specific. And, I am entering a new marriage with the same confidence that we will support each other, even when we are apart. This journey has affirmed the beauty of the coaching process both in getting coached and coaching others. I realize there are so many wonderful life lessons that coaching unearths... and it is up to each and every person to not only embrace their truth, but to also have the courage, confidence, boldness and fierceness to live it.  Here are the messages that have inspired me, and many of my clients, along the way.

 

Excavive Manifesto

 

I hope that you will consider how you are showing up in the world... Confucius said, "I want you to be everything that's you, deep at the center of your being." Are you intentionally designing the life you want, being who you are meant to be, truly living in your essence and fully showing up wherever you are?  Enliven your journey wherever you are on your path. He also said, "And remember, no matter where you go, there you are."

Powerful Words: Writing & Speaking 

 

Underwired logo  

My Life Coaching columns have been published for four years in a local publication in Louisville, Ky. Created in September 2006, Underwired Magazine was designed to support women in their pursuit of meaningful work, creative passion and other spirited adventures.

The premise for the Evolve column was to take my life coaching experiences coupled with insightful life lessons and then write a thought-provoking and action-inspired message based on the magazine's monthly theme. Created to inspire and motivate people to be the best versions of themselves, here are my three most recent columns to motivate and inspire YOU...

"Show Your Affection" * In February's PDA issue, I make a case for being comfortable in showing affection, kindness and love. With your romantic partner, what is it to love deeply and keep the chemistry alive? Click here to read the complete column.

"Recycle Your Best Self" * In March's Recycle issue, I took my "best" messages over the past few years: Love Yourself First and Know Who You Are, Pursue Passion NOW, Use Your Voice Powerfully, Practice Gratitude Every Day, and Create a Life Vision to Go Toward. What does it feel like to be awed? Read the details here.

"Be At Home" * In April's the 'Ville issue, I explore several ways to approach home. Do you know where you LIVE?  Discover more by reading the complete column here.

And, look for the entire compilation of my columns in my first book titled, The True You: Tools to Excavate, Explore and Evolve. Due out late summer or early Fall, these expanded essays will inspire you to be your authentic, best you.
