Last Saturday, Angela and I finally met after a very busy fall and emerging winter.  The day was freezing -30 Celsius and one could not only see their breath, but could watch as it lingered in the air long after you left!

It was great to see Angela – as usual energetic and full of enthusiasm, add to that she shared a lovely set of home-made Christmas gifts for me.  There is something about a home-made gift that makes one truly feel cared for and thought of at this time of year.  Two beautiful soy candles – clean burning, lovely scent and all natural among the gifts!  Angela shares my love of the environment and shows that with almost everything she does.

Since we began, I have been asking what I can do for Angela, what she might want this GTY relationship to do for her and if she has a specific direction she would like it to go.  As of yet, we have spent some time sharing but not pinned anything specific down.  Well at our last meeting, Angela agreed to take some time over Christmas and January to  develop a set of goals for herself, dig deep for clarity and take a look at her direction.

We both agreed it’s much easier to offer her what I have and know if she knows where she is going.  That way, she has an opportunity to be specific as to what I might share – everything of course – but mostly the sharing that will truly make a difference in supporting her dreams and goals.

It’s pretty tough to make introductions with my connections, to see what is in my past or present ready for offering, if she is not quite sure where she wants to go.

I am happy and more than open to helping her with goal-setting and a directional path, acting as a sounding board, a person who asks questions for Angela’s own self clarification and someone who pins Angela to the wall if it gets a little too vague.  I sure hope Angela knows to expect that from me. Open to supporting the process via phone, email, skype, online – what ever it takes, happy to have Angela contact me anytime!

I have to say, after a visit with the ever-positive Angela, it continued to be a fantastic day – regardless of bitterly cold weather!

For the time being, a lovely Christmas, some time to renew and await 2010 for fresh starts and crazy, wild and unending dreams!!!!  (All of which I know are achievable if one believes!)
