The process of coaching consciousness is a way to become a more informed and textured consciously connected person. You are preparing the way to become a parent with the ability to coach your child through life’s experiences.
Here are some thoughts to keep in mind about the concept of coaching.
Coaching is:
• Inspiring, building strategies, writing a new story and connecting, clarifying and committing to a new perspective.
• Creating a shift in language, listening, seeing, thinking, and actions.
• Learning to associate with and trusting that we have the knowledge and ability to make healthy decisions for ourself.
• Looking at our internal and external conversations objectively.

For me, Seth Godin’s Blog writings, the updates I get every day or so, are nudges filled with nuggets!
Each one gives me something to think about in a new, unrelated relevant perspective. He speaks of friends, yet, asks us to consider what is the new definition of friends. He speaks of camps vs. conferences… which made me think of how I find, give, participate in teaching, learning, training, or researching. He brings us into a relatedness with Singer and how we see the roll of companies in our economy.
I’ve been following him for a while now and from the very beginning, his posts took my hand and gently massaged my brain to expand.
What can we learn from this perceived ‘ease’ with which he nudges us with new nuggets for seeing, thinking, doing…? How can it fit in how you see your business, service or company moving forward in this ever changing economy, and socializing world?
I encourage you to ask your questions and wet your eyes, cleaning out the cobwebs that have gathered there…with drops of new wisdoms.

Today’s twitter question was about smiling. For me, a smile is the smallest form of energy creation. It has the power to immediately change your state. You hear people talking about being tired, stressed out, feeling stuck, these are all low energy feelings. I suggest you give smiling a try and then find something to laugh about, you’ll be up and running at full speed in no time at all with a renewed direction and focus.
Be a Smile. Be a Cause. Be IT Now!®

Below are some responses I got from twitter:
Pat_Lorna Pat’s favorite part is making Lorna #smile with a joke, a look, or a beautiful comment. Lorna just has a glow with her smile.
Mike_Wesely @KarrieRoss If a picture is worth 1000 words a smile is worth 1Million 
@chris_larson #smile It makes you want to smile back – even when you are in a bad mood. We should all smile more often – make the world happier
jeffpower A smile’s the universal connection. Gets me embraced in poor villages of countless languages in countries the world over.
jamesdickey My favorite thing about a smile is that it is a universal symbol of joy, pleasure or contentment. #smile
AlohaArleen My favorite thing about a smile is spirit of joy which makes it appear.
mascell my favourite thing about a #smile is that you can hear it in the voice even when you can’t see it
TheDailyBlonde a smile? soo important. My favorite thing is seeing one!! So many people DON’T smile. Smiling Rules.
biz_tips To me, there is nothing more beautiful than a smile. Unfortunately, I have learned that very late in life!

I do this at least once a week… and each time I do it the same way. I walk out the back door, out to the alley, on to the next street, down to the light to cross the major boulevard I live near, past all the businesses blah blah blah and into the store. There you have it, the journey.
But today I said to myself, Stop IT! today is a good day to see the trip in a new way, lets have a little fun…which seems to happen more and more. I guess I tend, like most of us, to be comfortable in the safety of the knowing of doing something I do a lot.
So I walked out the front door, out the front gate, around to the next street and crossed the larger boulevard in the middle of the block (very illegal), past all the businesses and this time noticed that the architect was renting 1/2 of their space, that the machine shop was closed, the AA meeting was in session and I noticed that there were more than usual pots for cigarette butts, a homeless person was asleep on the sidewalk, the street-lights were taking what seemed to be longer than usual allowing me to cross, the fence had come down and a construction trailer went up at the old Shakey’s that is being transformed into I don’t know yet… a man was talking to a meter-maid who was giving him a ticket, cars were stopping to let me cross driveways and streets they wanted to turn into and no matter how many waves for them to go in front of me, did they go… and a man in a hat walking towards me very stiff actually took the time to direct his eyes, without moving his head, and smiled and nodded to me as we passed…an allowing of one another in to the others world.
What is all this about you’re wondering? I didn’t just change the way I did something… I transformed the way I saw what I was doing.
As a nation they say we are moving into change… lets keep our eyes open, straight ahead into transforming the way we see the world…smile and nod acknowledging our new perspective.
What are you doing with your energy?

No, parenting isn’t a flu, or something we buy at the store. It also doesn’t have a bunch of salespeople who knock on our door at dinner time AND there is no renewable license! So what is the how and where of parenting?
My coaching is about energy, so lets start there as a how…yes, stretch your mind into this… it will be fun. For the purpose of this conversation, lets imagine parenting being attention. Oooooh sounds good doesn’t it?
If the saying “energy flows where our attention goes” can be considered correct, then when we place our attention on the action of parenting, we are creating the energy, passion, necessary to push it forward into our lives, our thoughts, feeling, actions, our consciousness.
So, HOW do we “get” parenting? What is the “get” we’re getting? Does “get” stand for understanding or to acquire something OR maybe it’s both?
First we’ll look at understanding. The ability to get or perceive the meaning of, grasp what is meant, to interpret.
Next we’ll look at acquire. The process to get or gain by one’s efforts or actions, get possession of or get as one’s own.

Creating conversations, sharing what is going on in your life, with your child from the time of conception is one of the best sources of connection you can create. This is a ‘natural’ feeling of bonding. I believe from the moment the child is conceived they are open to and receptive of our voice, feelings etc.
Being a mom, I remember the feeling of life inside me and how very motivating it was for me to know that I was making a difference in my child’s life with every move, feeling, food, thought and statement I made. AND when he was born I didn’t stop, I talked to/with him all the time everywhere. If you speak they will listen, even when you don’t think they are.
In my award winning book “Engaging the Textured Parent! Within. you will learn how to create a conscious connection with your child and feel the difference you make when you transform your perceptions by sharing your life with them.
Remember, parenting begins from the inside out! It’s up to You!

If you’ve been following my posts you’ll know that I have this thing for “symbols” and the effect they have on us, the way we think and see the worlds around us.
I love stars. They are a perfect balance and design. For the past 16 or so years I’ve collected them around Christmas and put one (sometimes angels or interesting shape) on my front door. As you can see by the photo, I’ve almost covered half the door. This year I bought an angel, it is at the top.
As you can see they bring a feeling of whimsy and stop you in your tracks to look at them closer.
Remember, do something every day that makes you or someone else smile
Be a smile. Be a cause. Be It NOW!

I get so many forwarded emails and usually they stop with me… but this one is worth sharing with everyone. Robin Williams has a knack, a knack for relatedness and in this he relates us to the flag.
Long may we wave…
