Debi Johnson Coaching

I woke up this morning to a brewed cup of steaming hot coffee with a touch of half and half.  Ahhh, just the way I love it.  
It brings on a warm, fuzzy feeling. 

It’s one of God’s little amazements in my life. I have lots of them, but they get lost in my busyness.  I take these things for granted way too often.  It’s small things like this that can make a difference.   

There are some days when I am still enough to notice, I can feel God’s presence around me.  I am not a woo-woo spiritual person really, but I know that feeling and it is comforting.  It makes me feel humbled and thankful for being on this earth another year.  I will be a year older next week and every year I tend to look at my life with an open heart.  I tend to view my life in a hopeful, positive way. 

I truly believe that life is an adventure for all of us.  Sure, there have been times in my life that were filled with sorrow and pain, but they are all part of my journey.  I have learned in order to get to the joy, I must first lean into the sadness and fear. 

Joy does come in the morning.   

More amazements of the day today……
*  I got a hug and an “I wuv you” from my grandson and a big smile from my baby grandaughter. 
*  I went to a live play, in the small town of Ferndale, for the first time in my life with good friends.  Giggling is so good for the soul!
*  I went for a walk in the rain and smiled as the rain splashed on my face. 
*  I didn’t even think about my weight or food choices today.  I was too busy living my life to notice. 

Pure Joy.  

Can you think of some of God’s little amazements in your own life? 
When you got out of bed this morning, what did you do?   Is coffee your first love of the morning, as well?  
How about your amazing body?  Is it healthy and moving?  Does it still work for you? 

Let’s make a pact to notice the little amazements of the day.  Are you ready?  Nice!

Okay, I will be honest.  I can’t find the right words for my blog.  

What I want is to sit here at my laptop and let the words flow out of my heart and into a blog post.   I have ideas, lots of them, but when I begin trying to form them into words, they are stuck.  Writers block?  Maybe.    

I am a new coach with so much new information going into my head.  I am so jazzed and I want to share it with you.  I am excited.  I just don’t know where to begin.  

Over the last year and a half a lot comes to mind that I am excited about.  I have been on a journey to discover my passion and it’s been an awesome ride.

In my training with Martha Beck,  I discovered my own North Star and I’m ready to lead my clients to theirs.  Also, I have come to know a new way of looking at my life. It’s as if I have new glasses to view the world.  I can now observe my thoughts and realize that so often they just aren’t true, but stories that are in my head.  

In working with Abigail Steidley,  I have learned to honor my feelings and that they matter.  That I matter.  When I have tension in my body, it’s because I need to let my emotions out.  They aren’t meant to be stuffed down.  It’s okay to really feel “sadness” down into my body.  Cry if I need to.  It can feel so much lighter in just releasing an emotion. 

In working with Evelyn Tribole, I am learning to eat intuitively.  I am learning that DIETS JUST DON’T WORK, but actually cause harm.  I see that I can sit and enjoy a bowl of ice cream without the diet guilties.  I listen to my bodies hunger signals. 

I have discovered my passion is to help women find freedom out of emotional eating and into loving their amazing bodies.  I want to reach out to these women that are looking for someone to turn to and reach out my hand.  I have been in their shoes and I want to show them that there is a way out.  I have found that life truly is an adventure.  
 
I know these words aren’t flowing as eloquently as I would like, but this is what is on my heart tonight.  I want to share my knowledge and passion with others.
