Four years ago, our grown son had invited my husband and me to move to Chicago. This was a major transition for my husband and I since we had never moved from the state, we both were born in. I was retired from a career as a special education teacher and a reading interventionist, and our three children had lives and families of their own. I was searching for a new life purpose, and what made this harder was living in a new environment without friends or familiar resources that had been anchors before. Now, I have been untethered from them. 

My emotions came to the surface during this time, and I discovered I hid them for years because my life had been very busy. This happens to many of us who live and operate in a state of semi-unconsciousness. I realized I had little or no awareness of who I was and how was I going to determine how I wanted to spend my retirement years. I was told by my physician “these are your bonus years so enjoy them and live with vigor and purpose.”

After spending quiet, a bit of time not focusing on the negativity within my inner world, I decided to focus on visualizing the direction in which my mind will connect to my heart and become open to the flow motion of life. I got involved in many volunteer organizations all which focus on the health, education, and overall well-being of children. The vision of becoming a parent coach was  unleashed from my being and my dance with this paradigm became clear to me. This is where my unique mission begins, and it has allowed me to walk along this path of self-discovery.

Please allow me to walk along your path with you and together we will discover your inner strength of hope, resilience, and courage. The continued unfolding of your insights and the expansion of your heart space will direct you to have more authentic relationships with family, friends, co-workers, and yourself.
