I finally got the art bus and can’t wait to get going on the conversion.  What do you think?  It came with 20 years of five star mechanic records.  It pays to buy from federally funded programs because they are required to do regular maintenance on their vehicles.  I am so excited!!!

Just two days into fall and it already feels like it is.  This is a great time to announce “Bring Back the Light” special through the month of November. This is the time of year that our brains and bodies go into hibernation mode so I would love to offer a 10 % discount to new coach-ee’s who would like to keep a forward momentum through the fall.  Winter is not a time for hibernation, it’s a time for cultivation of spirit.  Let your dreams manifest over the next few months by honing in on your one and five year plans.  Set aside time to navigate your goals to get ready for spring launch.

Don’t hesitate to call for your free complimentary session.  It takes only a half hour and you can gain valuable skills to tackle a problem that you need help getting moving.  You are valuable and deserve to be vibrating at your highest so pick up the phone and call for your session.

Sincerely,

H.

Happy August!  How is your summer going?  I have a few shenanigans on the horizon. Starting in September, I will be teaching a “Writing For Healing” class through community education.  If you are interested, please email me and I will send you the information on how to sign up.  The cost is $40.00 per person and includes three sessions of writing prompts and assignments that follow each class. We will be using memoir and journal techniques to flesh out possible subjects you may be interested in developing.

Look for my painting “Broken Dream” to be displayed at the “Clean” show which has moved from a venue to online this year.  This exhibit is hosted by Your Arts Desire http://www.yourartsdesiremtka.com/  and features artists who tell their story of recovery and sobriety through works of art.  I will post details as I am informed of them.

I will be at the fall Art Crawl this year on October 14th through the 16th.  Stay tuned for details on this show.  I am going to try to also offer sample coaching sessions at this event so stay tuned.  ( http://www.saintpaulartcrawl.org/ )

The art bus is coming along nicely.  We managed to pull the seats out and started painting her.  Her name is “Kismet” because I still believe in magic.

Thank you for tuning in for an update.  It’s been a busy summer as I have had a lot of opportunities to display my artwork and the July twofer sessions went very well also for the sample coaching sessions.  I will be giving away another coaching session for the last two weeks of August so stay tuned for that as well.

Thank you and I appreciate you!

Sincerely,

Coach Heather

I hope you are enjoying your summer.  I just wanted to check in and say hello to everyone.  I am full for June but I am looking to add one spot for a new coachee in July so if you know that you are worth living your life built from passion not regret, you have goals that you want to achieve and need a little help getting there, if you want some balance in your hectic schedule, or if you have a burning desire for change and are unsure where to start, you may benefit from having a personal coach.

I will help you define your short and long term goals.

I will help you get clear on your values and hold sacred space for you while you reflect on living your values.

We will have weekly check in’s.

We will co-design your plan of action.

I will not tell you what to do.  As a coach, I am trained to ask you important questions that will get the gears of your engine turning.  We don’t focus on the past but we create a present and future worth living for.

You will learn tools that create movement in your life; tools that you can use at any time once they become habitual.

I am a creative artist and have the ability to hone in on your individual learning style and will cater my coaching to fit your unique life and person.

Are you ready for change?  Then what is stopping you from placing that free coaching call?  I know you are worth living your life for you, not someone else.  You are worth feelings of contentment and happiness.  You can live the life that you have always dreamed of by making thoughtful decisions and actions.  Make it count! Make the call!

Thank you!

Sincerely,

H.

I am looking for two people who have the desire for changing some habits and want to create at least three long term, and three short term goals.  I will give you a free half hour  intro to coaching session so you can decide if coaching is for you.  If you decide you are ready for change, I will give you an additional 25% off of your first four sessions for the month of June; no commitments until you decide coaching is for you.  Please email me at thesilentmoon_speakstome@yahoo.com if you’re interested.

Thank you!

Wow!  Just like that they are gone.  I haven’t been posting much lately because I have been training in Zumba and to get my wellness coaching and personal training licenses.  While in process of this journey I have uncovered my personal story as to what lead me down the fitness path of coaching and how I’ve been maintaining my fitness.  I want to share my story so here it goes:

In 2013 I was heading towards a destructive path quickly.  I had suffered a couple of great losses that lead to using alcohol to cope with my pain.  I worked a job that demanded more from me than I was capable of giving at the time and it is was high stress, constant crisis.  I was dangerously close to snapping and didn’t know it.  I went on a road trip with a friend and by divine timing, we ended up in Moore, Oklahoma exactly at the same time as the 2013 tornado did.  We went into the bathroom at the corner store, and came out to destruction.  I had never been in a tornado before this and I was completely freaked out.  The tornado I believe saved my life because it was a physical manifestation of what my life had become.  I weighed about a hundred pounds more than I do now and was severely over weight, I drank too much, and I was isolating myself.  I lost two very important friendships on this trip, and knew I had to make some changes.  I quit drinking shortly after this trip in July of 2013 and have been sober for three years since then.  I also was a chain smoker starting at age 12 and remained that way for 29 years.  I quit smoking shortly after I lost my best friend to cancer; the catalyst that lead me to abusing alcohol to cope.

I knew I had to replace these destructive behaviors with new habits so I delved into working out every day and full time school.  I started by walking and I now dance, teach Zumba, run, lift weights and swim. I remember the first time I ran 10 miles, I cried because years ago, I was in Jamaica in a dangerous situation that required running to get away from it which I couldn’t do because I smoked too much and I promised myself that I would one day run so that I could save my life if ever need be.  Now if I go one day without working out, I feel like I’ve lost a friend and activity calls to me; it’s a burning inside my soul and I know when I have missed a day.

I have run a couple of 5k’s but next year, my goal is to run a half marathon and to be teaching Zumba to children.  I cannot tell you how much exercise plays in my sobriety.  It has replaced my destructive behaviors and keeps my moods balanced (along with proper nutrition) and brings my joy levels up.  Exercise also keeps me busy and focused.  I cannot tell you the enormous benefits that being active gives a person, there are so many.  I highly encourage anyone to adopt exercise and activity.  Especially if you experience depression, chemical dependency, or find it hard to focus.

I am so thankful that I have found physical activity and have adopted it as a lifestyle.  I hope that you will also find your story of recovery through physical activity.

Sincerely,

H.
