Whats up in Cindys World!

Wow!  What a week, life has been so busy lately that I let a week slip by without writing on my blog.  Working for Pet Pleasers is like setting up your own part time business.  I am sure it will get easier as time goes on but in the beginning it is very busy because you have the first meeting with each client since they are new to you, complying the paper work for the initial session with the brand new clients.  Sometimes I wonder if it worth it monetary wise.  I absolutely love it though and feel like I shouldn’t even get paid for it because it is such a pleasure to take care of all these wonderful animals.  I let one of my pro bono clients go this week Jennifer because I came to realize that she has some very intense psychological issues and that she needs to get stablized before she is ready for the coaching.  She took it well.  I postponed the initial session with a new client Kala because I wasn’t ready for it as far as a contract etc;  I got to get ready so that I am for whatever comes along.  It is so hard to get everything done.  I know it will go smoother once I am organized for Pet Pleasers.  This past week I also didn’t go to a couple classes because of such a busy schedule and I didn’t go to the class last night onCoaching Model 3 because I want to have time to work on my coaching model first.  Although it looks like I am letting things slip away I know I am doing the very best that I can do and that it will get better.  I have decided to cut back my classes to just 3 -4 a week so that I have time for pet sitting, coaching, reiki and my own self development and sanity.  I did coach my other life coach clients this past week and it is going great and I continue to get very positive feed back on my coaching.  I am so glad to be working with animals, I absolutely love it and I never want to have a time in my life where I am not working with them in some way.  This has been the first week working for Pet Pleasers on my own, before, it was training.  I know that there is always a period of adjustment on a new job for me and all is well.  When I coached Ed yesterday I felt like he was doing so good that there was nothing to work on and that we didn’t have anything to fill an hour of coaching with he assured me that he was getting what he needed and that he has made tremendous strides in the few sessions that we have had together.   Well, this is it for today because I need to go for a pet visit with Mop an incredible 18 y.o. dog and a cat named Leon who is loveable and majestic!  Bye for now…. 

Hello world!

Here I am working hard on setting up this blog.  This is a totally new procedure for me.  Until a week ago I didn’t even know what the word blog meant.  And I have been very hesitant in taking on the process of developing it.  I sat down today to reflect on what I wanted my blog to be about and who I am and what I can bring to the world as a life/spiritual coach.  I discussed it with my mother who isn’t just my mother she is my best friend and soul friend.  She knows me the best, at times even better than I know myself.  I asked her to describe me in five adjectives.  She named determined, creative, dedicated, authentic, survivor and loving.  Well thats six but who is counting.  She than gave me a summary of my life what she feels it has been about and what I can give as a coach to the world.  All of which I agree with and acknowledge.  I than contemplated on what I wanted my blog to be about, what would be the prevalent theme. Out of this came the title of my blog Illuminating Spirit.  Yes that is what I am doing.  In writing down my reflections of classes, life, thoughts, relationships, coaching, change, transformation I will bring light to my spirit and see myself more clearly and my purpose here on earth.  Other names I considered using were 1) spirit evolving (my favorite but already taken as a website by someone else on the Internet so I didn’t want to be a copy cat)  However, I will say that I am in very good company with wanting that name because she looked like a like minded thinker and another soul bringing light to the universe.  Other names included 2) contemplating spirit, 3) spirit emerging (not right because my soul is already emerged it is just making a few minor adjustments because I have worked very hard to bring my soul to the place it is today, which if I may say so it is fairly enlightened, but of course it is a non ending forever process that goes on and on and on….) 4)Spirit Evolution (too much like Spirit Evolving which is already taken, 5)Evolution of Spirit (naagh still too similar), another favorite was 6) Metamorphosis – but already taken, 7)Clarity of Spirit, 8) Clear Vision, and finally the one I have decided on 9) Illuminating Spirit.  Well there you have it the saga of finding a title of my blog.  More tomorrow and more to update and design on my website.  It is still a work in progress.
