Encouragement through aches and pains

Today is Tuesday, November 30th. Woke up with a stiff neck and a back ache. Still, I got up, put on my running shorts and shoes and hit the treadmill. Did 40 minutes on the treadmill, listened to some motivational podcasts (have a whoppin 160 gig iPod) and got the blood flowing. The kink in the exercise schedule is not being able to do my 100 crunches (because of the back thing). Anyway, I am now at the keyboard, working in my beautiful home office and pushing on to what needs to be done.

Even with aches, pains, gray cloudy skies, and looming unemployment, I am encouraged with skills, abilities, and passions to serve God and God's people.

I am launching a ministry of encouragement through coaching conversations. If you need some encouragement in your life, give me a call - 717.742.0711 and let's chat.

Know this - no matter what your ailments are, no matter what your life circumstances are, you are loved with an unconditional love! You are beautiful, unique and deeply treasured. Be encouraged!

Where have I been and What's next?

WOW! It's been over a month since I posted! Well, to answer the first question - I've been on vacation! Spent 2 weeks on the luxury liner - Solstice with Celebrity Cruise lines. Cruised all over the Caribbean and had a ton of fun. It's my preferred way of relaxing and forgetting about the world. Did a bunch of reading and reflecting to get ready for the next adventure! I believe that God has an amazing adventure in front of me, so really needed this time to mentally prepare.

To answer the next question: I will be leaving my role as the Associate Executive Presbyter for Donegal at the end of December 2010. In January I will be launching into a ministry of coaching. This might entail a church setting in which I will be coaching people to use their wonderful God-given gifts for ministry and/or it may also entail doing some coaching of God's people to achieve more in life than they could ever imagine. You see, I probably said this before, but I have the gift of encouragement, so really get energized and blessed by using this gift to full advantage!

And, finally, here's the BIG IDEA! Have you ever gone to a conference or workshop, gotten all charged up with new ideas for life or work and then couldn't implement them at home? I am putting together a collaboration of coaches who will help solve that problem! We can hold a few powerful conversations with you and get those new ideas integrated into your life and work! This is absolutely HUGE! See my website at postconferencecoaching.com for more details!
