From Green HOPE Coaching
Dear Kathy,
I hope you and yours are experiencing a very merry Christmas season!  As I have been considering my gift ideas for Christmas (no, I'm not done!), I'm very aware that many are really struggling this holiday.  Maybe it is a loss they are grieving, or maybe it is just an awareness that there isn't 'enough' to go around for the extra expenses of holiday shopping this year.  Often, we take forgranted the ability to lavish gifts on those we love, until something happens that makes that desire almost impossible. Then we become keenly aware that for the few gifts we can give, we want to give gifts that matter. That every gift we give has added value- exceptional quality.
 
Maybe this year there is someone on your list for whom you haven't found the perfect gift.  You would like to give the gift of a memory, or an experience that allows your loved one grow and be strengthened in the upcoming year.  GHC has some suggestions for you that are a bit 'out of the box', but accomplish more that most toys or trinkets could.  I hope you will consider these offerings for those special people on your list, or maybe something great for yourself in 2012. 
 
As we enjoy this holiday time and look forward to a fast approaching New Year, may you always find ways to 'see green hope' in your roles and relationships.
 
Merry "GREEN" Christmas!
Kathy 
 
 
 
 
A Gift that Grows with You!
Having difficulty with your Christmas list this year? Whether the people on you list already have everything, or need more than you can spend, this year you can give them a gift that will give much more than something to eat, wear or play with.  This season, consider giving them a gift that gives hope!
 
GHC has a few sugestions for you:
 
For the soon to be high school or college graduate:
Give the TRANSITIONS Coaching package. Six sessions of coaching designed to help them identify their unique design and next steps for college or career planning.
 
For the soon to be married couple:
How about the BEFORE the I DO package designed to help the new pair create a vision for the life they want to live after the wedding. They will discuss issues such as family, finances, and fighting fair,... just to name a few!  This 6 week series is good for those just getting married or who have been married a short time.
 
For the couple who is invested in their marriage: (soon to be married's are invited too)
Consider giving tickets to the CELEBRATE THE DANCE event on February 19th.  They will recieve a 1 hour ballroom dance lesson, as well as, hear from popular speakers and authors, Steve & Valerie Bell on the beauty of the marriage dance.  There will also be a chance to win a romantic get away for two to Belamere Suites in Perrysburg, Ohio.
 
For the wife who wants more for their marriage: (husbands! Pay attention here!)
Every wife/ marriage would benefit from being part of GHC's WIVES ONLY group.  If they live locally, we are offering a LIVE WIVES ONLY group on Tuesdays at 10:00am at my home beginning January 17-March 27, 2012.

If they live at a distance, they can be part of the TELEGROUP WIVES ONLY group Tuesdays at 2:00pm (Eastern time)
 
For the person who wants more out of 2012 than they got in 2011:
Encourage them with the REINVENT THE YEAR!  package.  Each month they will be part of one group call, one private call and email coaching as needed, as they will look at their dreams for the year, strategize their plans, and overcome the obstacles as they take next steps in the new year!
 
And I can't help but give this idea!
For the person who is going to keep the ole' car a little longer:
How about a gift certificate to ALL THINGS NEW, my husband's automotive appearance repair business!  He can make many dents and dings on your old car look like new.  Consider giving a gift to have someone's headlights refinished, or windshield repaired.  Outside or inside, Rennie Burrus and All Things New can make you glad to keep your car another year. To shop with Rennie directly, call 419-306-7027.
 
To purchase these gifts for the holidays or to register for private or group coaching in 2012, go to www.greenhopecoaching.com or contact kathy@greenhopecoaching.com or 419.306.8311.
 
 
 
 
 
This Christmas, I hope you find joy in the giving of the gifts! I pray that you'll find hope in receiving of them.  May your holiday season be centered on the real reason of Christmas- the gift of God's Son!  
 
Seeing Green Hope in the Holidays,
