Where have I been since I created this blog?


Where have I been since I created this blog in March 2005.

Earlier this year I decided to start my own blog. I first learned of blogging while attending a coaching conference in May 2003. I was in San Mateo California and the guest speaker was so excited to introduce everyone to the world of blogs. This is the first I heard of blogging.

When I came home, I gave it a lot of thought, but then I questioned whether I wanted to share my blog with the world. I am a very private person and why would I want to share my deepest thoughts with strangers.

My coaching friends started their own blogs, some stayed with it and other quit. What did they have to talk about. For some, it became a obsession, others an obligation. Each day of my life I have experiences, I meet new clients, I visit stores and restaurants, I talk with the general public wherever I am at. As I listen, I always process my experiences using what I call the coaching lifestyle. This is a way of life for me. It is a method to listen to what the universe is saying and then speaking the truth.

I often wondered if others would have an interest in reading my about my experiences. In February 2005 I was featured on the front of an Atlanta magazine, 400 Edition. To my surprise, I received phone calls, e mails and letters from readers. Most were positive comments, a few asked how coaching can help improve their life and then there was the ones that just wanted me to know that they enjoyed reading my story.

Since that time, I have written a monthly article for 400 Edition. Each month I receive several e mails from readers who want to share their experiences with me. This has become a wonderful experiences in itself.

So last night I decided it is time to give blogging another try. I had trouble integrating my blog with my web site, but I think I have a new method to link the two. So please feel free to comment and e mail me your thoughts.
