There is a groove to life coaching. Sitting across a table watching someone have a lightbulb moment. Hearing the dawn of realization through a phone line. Giving a dream wings. Giving a life renewed purpose.
Today I revel in this.

A three-day weekend looms. I love that. I’m thinking about a “no plan” approach. See what comes up. Live in the moment. Good weather or bad, go with it. Walks. Lolling coffee sessions with friends. Naps. Writing. Therapeutic house cleaning.
Feels just right.

Seinfeld classic moment:
George is living with his parents. They’re at the dinner table.
“What do you need all that ketchup for?” his father shouts.
“I bought this ketchup just so I could have as much as I want,” George retorts.
A ridiculous conversation about bras ensues.
This is why I so often eschew current TV offerings for the “oldies.” Pure brilliance in minutiae.

You wouldn’t think something as simple as moving an air conditioner from one window to another could make a whole apartment feel more open and airy, but it’s true. With a little help from Windex.
I was having a new air conditioner put in and I decided as the old one came out that it might be nice to have that window free. So I asked Diego, the handyman, for his opinion. He agreed and then made it happen.
Now the window over my desk is clear and unobstructed. One thing led to another and I started cleaning out the whole desk area. It is neat and fabulous. I love to usher out the old to make room for the new.
There is plenty of room for more writing and more clients. What a rush.

Two new life coaching clients this week. One more fabulous than the next. Accomplished, smart, ambitious women. Big career goals. Change is afoot.
This feeds me.

Here’s how I know I’m ready to break out the fall clothes. I took six pairs of shoes and/or boots to a shoemaker this week. A nice polish, some new lifts and it’s all good. Denim mules, patent leather flats et al.
I love this time of year, closing summer and bringing in fall. The weather, the clothes. It’s new and fresh.
And there’s a fabulous new bag in my future.

I have always found a steadiness in CNN journalist Christiane Amanpour. Her report called “In The Footsteps of bin Laden” is fascinating. What a stark reminder of what we knew and didn’t take seriously enough.
It is a kind of sinister beyond my comprehension.

Every so often in life something stuns us so profoundly that it forces us to look at ourselves very closely.
Today I was forced to examine my actions and intentions in a very specific situation.
I am at peace about what is at my core.
