strained-at-best relationship with her, and sure enough, when she called my mom, mom apologized for her behavior and for the first time in over a decade told Maria she loved her. Astonishingly, only a couple of days later, mom tested positive for Covid-19 and, in less than a week, made the journey from her assisted living facility to the ER, to the Covid isolation wing at Hospice, where she then passed in her sleep. Even with all that was to come and the overwhelming noise of fear that had embedded itself in her psyche, somehow—and not a moment too soon—love STILL found a way. What do YOU truly love and value that makes YOUR life worth living, and what actions can you take to turn the volume up on love?
THE BOTTOM LINE: GROWING FORWARD WITH THE SEEDS OF AN EXTRAORDINARY LIFE
What if getting to witness a life—with all of its peaks and valleys—is the ultimate coaching opportunity? Life with my mom was indeed one of the most profound experiences of my life, for it showed me I can learn from, through, and WITH. There’s no doubt that I would not be the unique combination of elements that make me…well…ME, had I not had been a part of the challenges, stories, and experiences my mom and I created TOGETHER. She is, was and will forever be my “Rainbow Connection”—the embodiment of a true celebration of color, beauty, and magic; borne of the alchemy of both intense contrast and magnificent light… …Ah, but aren’t the richest, fullest, best lives that truly DO move us onward, upward, and forward, always filled with rainbows? Thank you, mom, for allowing me to bear witness to the seed that was, is, and always will be YOU,
and for the seeds of love, independence, creativity, strength, vision, and wonder you nurtured within ME. Here’s to creating and allowing a bright, beautiful new year, to the power of LIFE Coaching, and to the knowing that we and others truly CAN grow FORWARD with the seeds of an extraordinary life. Now THAT’S what I call living. Life. On. FIRE.
