As someone who has more life behind me than ahead of me, people sometimes ask me why, after 42 years as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I'm now working as a Transformational Life Coach. The truth is I love working with people, and I've been interested in coaching for about 15 years. And I figured since I was still alive, God wasn't done with me yet. I was being called to coach.

You are one of a kind. Even if there is someone who looks like you, they don't have your particular thoughts or ideas or dreams or goals. You are unique, and that is just how God meant it to be. It would be pretty boring if we were all the same. You have your own gifts, skills, and talents. You are extraordinary. You see things in your own unique way.
