HOW

How does one person Make a Difference, Be a Light, Be a Hope Broker for another who is without hope?  In essence, become a Sacred Doorway for someone.

One Person

Standing on the Shoulders of those who came before us

Equals

Making a Difference

HOW do we do this?  HOW do we start?  What is required to make a beginning?

Honesty

  Openness

    Willingness

By standing on the shoulders of those who came before us and practicing the spiritual disciplines they modeled.   The process is simple but not always easy. The tools we gain however are priceless and will help us walk with another.

First, Honesty

In practicing these spiritual traditions, we are gifted with a sacred space to honestly look into our own souls and begin the work that is needed for healing.  This is the first step that is required to become a Hope Broker.  Cleaning the vessel that is me.

First fruits, Healing

 Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it. – Rumi

What’s Next?  Openness

The next step, after I honestly look at where I have been and where I am at, is to let go of all the barriers within so I can make room for what will be. In doing so, I free myself by opening the vessel. 

First fruits, Freedom

And Finally,  Willingness.

The final step in our HOW process is to bring a flicker of willingness.  A willingness to be vulnerable with another as was shown to us and allow that flicker to be fanned by all that is LOVE in this world and allow it to grow. 

My Clean Vessel,

          My Transparent Vessel,

Shines with the essence of all that is GOOD and LOVE within me, allowing for an inpouring and outpouring of this Love.  I have now become a Sacred Doorway that shines to guide another who is as hopeless as I once was. 

First fruits, Purpose. 

If you are One Person who would like to Make a Difference by becoming a Sacred Doorway but know that first, you need to heal from within, we have several upcoming free opportunities.

Let me help you discover What’s Next for you.

From my heart to yours 

Until next time

Life Poem

Hello Again, I am so glad you are here!
I heard recently on the podcast, The Wake-Up Call, that our Lives are a Poem to God. It got me thinking, what is required of me to formulate the words for my Life Poem so that they enrich and inspire?

The answer is in Relationship.
Relationship with God

How do I even start the conversation?
The development of Spiritual Practices is the first step. My willingness to invest my time and by
listening patiently and intently before responding will improve the quality of my
communication.

Talking And Listening.
Praying and Meditating

During this time, He takes the being that I am, one that has been clogged with life’s trauma, hurts, resentments, fears, and addictions and starts the healing process, opening and transforming my heart, becoming a clear channel to the life-giving words to my Life Poem.
The Poem is my grateful response to the direction that I gleaned while practicing a spiritual life.

It requires developing and maintaining a relationship with my Higher Power. As I fine tune my hearing, the words flow, and my Poem brings Holy Healing, Direction, and Love.

Love,
always Love.

“I am a little pencil in God’s hands. He does the thinking. He does the writing. He does everything and sometimes it is really hard because it is a broken pencil, and He has to sharpen it a little more.”

― Mother Teresa, The Joy in Loving: A Guide to Daily Living

He sharpens my broken pencil in spiritual practices so that I can know the love and direction that is meant for My Life, My Purpose, My Meaning.

My What’s Next.

This relationship allows for Holy Relationships with Others. My Life Poem to God…

Quests and How They Give My Life Direction

Welcome and thank you for reading my first blog post!  In this space, I plan to journal about the highlights that happen in my life that help give it direction and purpose.   

The premise of my business, What’s Next-Life Coaching and Spiritual Direction, is to help people heal inwardly from past trauma so they can discover their purpose in life. We then map out the necessary action steps to live out their purpose.

Helping people discover and implement their purpose, is my purpose.

Because of this, I am always studying the best supporting practices of those who are confident that they are living out their purpose.  I look to many different sources to learn what works: asking questions in conversations, reading and listening to podcasts.   

Several years ago, I listened to a podcast on quests, and it struck an inspirational chord in my heart.  A quest accomplishes several things that are important to me:

A quest gives my life direction

A quest is a fun way to give my life direction

A quest is an interesting way to give my life direction

I decided to embark on a quest that combines two of my loves.  Running and travel. 

My quest is to run a race in all 50 states.

Knowing myself as I do, I am aware that I need outward accountability to accomplish this quest and that it has to be measurable.  To track this quest, I purchased a pushpin map off Amazon that hangs in my living room and is a joyful visual reminder of all the places this has taken me, the accomplishments I have achieved, and it also let’s me see where I still have the opportunity to go.

As of now, this has taken me to Colorado (where I live), Ohio, Florida, Idaho, Georgia, Washington and New Mexico.

And I’m bringing this guy along for the ride!

Greg and Raechal at the St.Jude Rock”n”Roll Seattle Race 2022

This quest actually combines 3 of my loves-running, travel, and my favorite human being!

If you need help discovering a quest that aligns with what is important to you, or need help implementing a quest, give me a call.  I would love to help you discover

What’s Next!

From my heart to yours 

Until next time
