Realizing my Purpose

I spread my mother's ashes in the ocean yesterday with my daughter. It has been a very hard year and I feel some closure as I trust that one day the ashes we spread on the east coast will someday mingle with the ashes we just spread on the west coast.

And now it's time for me to move to another phase of my life and thus I am starting this blog. I have spent the last 25 years of my life using art to try and better understand myself and hopefully that deeper self knowing would help others.

It's time to resurect that work.

I designed a workshop many years ago called Realizing your Purpose through Art. I ran it once and got feedback from a group of amazing women and then it got back shelved as I dealt with my own mental health struggles.

From the time I decided to change my major from P.E. to Computer Science I went through life with a strong confidence of purpose. As an entrepeneur I studied the "Seven Habits of Highly Effective People" and then brought that into my work in the nonprofit world. I am a strong believer of using the right tools to get the job done.

But the last few years I have struggled deeply with this question of what my purpose is. What I know is that I love coaching. So for now, I'm going to start sharing some of the work that has helped me know my Self more deeply.
