I was recently sitting in my doctor’s office waiting for my exam when I noticed a poster on the wall about the little things in life. It struck me in a strange way as I thought about how I have been so caught up in large changes going on in my life that I hadn’t really taken much time for anything small. However, as I read the list and chuckled to myself, I realized that without those small things, my life wouldn’t be near as richly blessed as it is. I began thinking about all the little things in my life that I am thankful for.
Do you ever take the time to appreciate beauty in small things? When was the last time you put yourself first and took care of yourself in a small way so that you could refocus and be better for the world around you? (A little time out is often all we need to regenerate.) When was the last time you did something small for another person to brighten their day? We take for granted how important the small things really are. We think that if we could just make something big happen then our lives would be just what we want. Whether that is getting a client, getting a promotion or simply getting our lives to run smoothly. What we forget is that without the small things, we would not enjoy the big things near as much. We may think we can get along in this world on our own but don’t you think the small things are what make life worthwhile? I believe that if we do want to make big things happen, we must first pay attention to the small stuff.
Maybe for you the small stuff is a call from a close friend, a wagging tail from your dog when you come home, a walk through a beautiful park full of flowers, a bowl of tin roof sundae ice cream or a warm breeze blowing on your face to dry your tears after you’ve been let down. I would like to challenge you to spend some time thinking about the things happening in your life that are important and focus on the small things that make them better or bearable. Maybe even make your own list of the little things that make life worthwhile for you. It is a great reminder of how important those little things are.
The small stuff that we do for ourselves to help take care of our mind, body, and spirit are key components to making the rest of our lives fall into place. If you'd like to know more about how working with a life coach can assist you with those little things in order to help you to be at your best, contact me today for a free sample session. When we are at our best, we have the greatest chance of making extraordinary things happen for ourselves and the world around us.

I am a certified life coach through Coach
Training Alliance, which is an accredited
program by the International Coach
Federation. I have a BA in Psychology with
an emphasis in Counseling and an area of
concentration in Social Work. I also have
a MA in both Elementary and Secondary
Counseling. As a school counselor for 10
yrs, I spent much of my time coaching
students through identifying who they
wanted to be and what they wanted to do
with their futures. I worked with them to
set and attain the goals they needed to
get there. I then made my own transition
to coaching as a career after staying home
with my children for several years.
As a skilled listener, I possess the
intuition, critical thinking and
analytical skills to communicate and
inspire people to move forward in their
lives. I have training in how to start and
market a business as well as experience in
creating three businesses of my own.
If you think you might benefit from having
a coach to assist with the challenges of
creating a balanced and prosperous life,
