Is it time you get some coaching?

This year I tried to pay attention to the numbers. I didn’t fully reach the big goal I had, yet I am ok with where I ended. Life threw some curveballs this year and I had to readjust my goal a few times. And that is ok!!

What goals do you have for 2025?

My into the new year reading. What are you reading right now?

Part of my morning ritual is a short reading and journaling. Below was today’s reading. Howard Thurman (a renowned theologian) is right on. If you are looking to get some focus and direction in your life, I can help you on the journey.

What do you think about Dr. Thurman’s explanation of personal freedom?

To my friends who have been and are going to the mountains to help - you will likely see some horrible things. Things that generally only our first responders see. Things no human should ever see. As someone who has dealt with my fair share of secondary trauma, please hear me when I say - take time to debrief with a professional. Engage the help of a counselor, pastor, chaplain, or other trained professional.

I am a pastor and volunteer fire chaplain, so I do have debrief training. I am willing to take the time to debrief with you or your team/crew. This is the gift I have to offer right now and my way of helping the helpers. Trust me when I say, you need to kick the mud off your boots before you go back home.

Goal: complete strategic plan with approval ✅
Goal: strength train 3x a week for 7 weeks in a row ✅

Tonight, I am treating myself with a pedicure and some back porch time with a novel. Went to light my tiki torch and found a new friend!
