embarking on a new adventure
After 11 months of giving and learning and growing in awareness and kindness and patience and joy, I am about to embark on a new adventure. I will still be giving (a lot!) and be checking in on all the great 29Gifts energy, but I probably won't be blogging much for the next 10 weeks.
I was delighted to learn recently that I have been given a full scholarship to participate in a Creative Coaching Program that I longed to attend. It is a fabulous opportunity for me to learn and grow. I see the potential for integrating many of the diverse skills and experiences I have acquired over the years.
It is a small and supportive class of trainees (24) and even though I have only met 12 of them so far, I am so excited by the positive energy everyone is bringing to the group.
As a part of earning my keep (my 'free ride') I am going to be moderating the online forums for the course participants, in addition to doing the course work, so I think I will be pretty blogged out, but I will drop in to read and say hi when I can.
I know for certain that this incredible opportunity came to me because of shifts in my attitude and perspective brought on by being a part of 29Gifts, and I believe I am ready to meet this challenge now because of the collective wisdom I have had the opportunity to tap into here. So, thank you all for giving me the gift of yourselves. your laughter, your tears, and your discoveries.
I used to think outside the box -- now I am learning to remodel the box!
~peace and joy~

Enjoy the ride! I went thru the CTI coaches training and certification programs! Would love to be a trial client for you if you need any volunteers! AND will be glad to listen if you ever need to vent/process/think outside the box and find need for another perspective on the journey! It's SO much self-development, you'll love it! best, Caitlin
