Challenge 79: Finish coaching homework

March 30, 2010

Eek!! I can't believe I almost forgot to write today. I thought about it earlier, but I only had a few minutes. Today started off in the best way ever. Vaughn and I took Coach out for a walk and over to Lily's for her birthday. We brought cupcakes to make (cream cheese frosting and hot pink sprinkles) and mimosas. It was the first time Vaughn has been over to her house and the 6 of us (me, Lily, men, Phoenix, Coach) just hung out, ate some food, made cupcakes and had a great time. Turns out, Coach LOVES rolling around in grass. I guess we haven't taken him many places with a manicured lawn.

After Lily's, I went to work and just got home a little bit ago. On the way home, i stopped at her place for more cupcakes, a glass of wine, and a ride home.

I'm now sitting on the couch, listening to the rain, and catching up on some emails. Yesterday was a big day for me. Not in the sense that I did a lot of things. But I had a great conversation with Vaughn and I'm feeling really good about my decisions lately. I asked the question yesterday, what keeps people going? And the best I can come up with is that you just have to. That if you really want to achieve your dreams, you just have to keep reaching for them no matter how scary it is, how hard it seems, how easy it would be to turn away and run. I know it sounds obvious. On some level, everyone knows this. I've just never actually been faced with it. Ironic that I'm a life coach! Coaching people through JUST this kind of stuff. I guess it's time to walk the talk.

I did end up studying coaching yesterday, but I didn't make it to a coffee shop. My challenge today is still going to be around coaching.
