My Spiritual Journey
Regardless of your faith beliefs, I will work with you to overcome your challenges.
​
I want to be clear: In my coaching practice, I do not push Christianity on my clients. I know we all have our God given paths, and I am not the one to determine what that path is for someone else. I do, however, believe that without a foundation of faith, our lives and relationships are less meaningful, less fulfilling, and less rewarding than they were designed to be. As my pastor says, "We (humans) are not built for comfort. We are built for greatness."
​
I grew up in rural America in a Catholic household, attending church every Sunday. For several years I was an Altar Boy - (they call them Altar Servers now). Like many of us, but for my own reasons, I struggled with my faith. Quite frankly, I wanted to study other religions, as I couldn't wrap my mind around there only being one 'true' religion. This led me away from Christianity and toward Buddhism, Taoism, and Religious Science. While on this path, I read The Four Agreements, by Don Miguel Ruiz, and it opened my eyes to the root of relationships and behavior. That book was pivotal in 'cleansing the doors of perception', to quote William Blake.
Fast forward 30 years, and I have found my way back to Catholicism. While I still carry the lessons of Buddha, Lao Tzu, and Ernest Holmes with me, I could not shake the feeling that 'Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life.' FYI: I'm still getting used to saying, "And with your spirit" and, "it is right and just". Some of you know exactly what I mean.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
