Front Porch Coaching

A kind woman was once asked,
“How can you be so gentle
in a world that is so harsh?”
She smiled and, pointing to her heart, she said,
“When you are strong on the inside,
you can afford to be soft on the outside,
for there is no need to prove
what already exists within.”

As you start or continue on your new adventure, embrace the possibilities. If you desire some guidance through One-on-One coaching or support, please message me. New groups will start mid February and I'll have a few client openings then as well. Blessings! Sharla

In out-of-the-way places of the heart,
Where your thoughts never think to wander,
This beginning has been quietly forming,
Waiting until you were ready to emerge.

For a long time it has watched your desire,
Feeling the emptiness growing inside you,
Noticing how you willed yourself on,
Still unable to leave what you had outgrown.

It watched you play with the seduction of safety
And the gray promises that sameness whispered,
Heard the waves of turmoil rise and relent,
Wondered would you always live like this.

Then the delight, when your courage kindled,
And out you stepped onto new ground,
Your eyes young again with energy and dream,
A path of plenitude opening before you.

Though your destination is not yet clear
You can trust the promise of this opening;
Unfurl yourself into the grace of beginning
That is at one with your life's desire.

Awaken your spirit to adventure;
Hold nothing back, learn to find ease in risk;
Soon you will be home in a new rhythm,
For your soul senses the world that awaits you.
