Dear Kathy

We've almost completed the first month of the New Year!  I don't know about you- but I had great hopes for this fresh beginning. However, as I sat with a dear friend/personal coach last week, I began to share one sad thing after another.  It wasn't long till the tears were near and I began to embrace the 'despair' I was feeling. 

My wise friend listened intently and questioned as appropriate. Then carefully she asked, "Kathy, where are you having FUN?" Hmm?

But as I've pondered this thought, I have realized that I approached this new year with a desperation.  

I have to ...!
I must...!
I should do ......!

Now don't get me wrong!  I/my business will benefit from setting goals, clarifying next steps, and creating an action plan.  But my focus got out of line. I began to focus on what wasn't! 

For a brief - intense time- I forgot!  I forgot who I was designed to be. I forgot what God has given me to do.  I forgot to notice all the things for which I am grateful.  And in all of that, I forgot that God gives delight through FUN things! 

So I looked at me- my life- my business and looked for ways to add fun! I was reminded that I love to cheerfully lift others up to feel more fun and hope. I love to calmly connect them to their hearts and to each other. That's what I want to be about! I'll be blogging more about it at greenhopecoaching.com in the next few weeks.  You might find it FUN to check it out. 

In the meantime, take a look at the FUN ways you can join us over the next few weeks. 

Join me in intentionally designing Hope- for life and love- and FUN!

 Valentine for Couples:
 CELEBRATE THE DANCE:
 Becoming One-on and off the dance floor!

 We start with one hour of ballroom dance lessons- taught by  Tanya of Tanya’s School of Dance.

 We follow that up with a few light refreshments to catch our  breath.  Then we get together with Kathy & Rennie Burrus for a  conversation about what we learned on the dance floor.  Not just  about ballroom dancing- but how our ‘dance’ in marriage reflects  some of the issues we experienced as we danced. We will have some fun discovering what it takes to dance as a team.

Cost for the afternoon is $50 which includes your dance lesson, light afternoon refreshments and the group conversation after.  Plan now to celebrate your marriage dance in this special way.
