Stating the Obvious

It felt like Anna was taken aback by my response to a comment she made at our life coaching session, an almost throw-away description of one of my sibs. Maybe it showed on my face that with that one word, a key was turned in a long-sought, always just-out-of-sight lock on my awareness, letting out with an beyond measure WHOOOOOOSE!! of understanding/insight/compassion, the ultimate AH HA! moment of my life, to date.

"What did you just say?" I asked.

She repeated it.

"Where did you get that? How did you know?"

To Anna, she was stating what she thought was just restating the obvious & looked seriously startled and seemed taken totally off guard by my questions ~ "It's what you described."

And it was - but I hadn't realized it. >I'd< described it, without grasping what I'd described.

Oh, the wonders of a life coach - someone to hear what a person says & say it back, giving the words entire new power..

Surprise Gift

What a godsend! I knew in my bones that teaming up with Anna Friesen Cole would open the way to something. Little could I have guessed she'd rock my world in the most remarkable, unimaginably beyond-the-beyond ways possible!!!

Background:

THE great constant of my life, one that drove my sibs & Mom into the stratosphere of irked, was my unremitting attempt to figure out the gist of my family's core dynamics, because they never ever made sense to me.

Not as a little kid, not as a teen, not as a young adult, not as a grown up.

Wasn't after fault-finding or recriminations, just a core understanding of what felt to me like... to this day, I don't have the words to say how it felt. Not sure if there even IS a word, at least in the English language.

Thank goodness for getting older! And for Mom passing right before my 50th b-day. Age & no longer being !st & foremost a daughter (yep, even before wife) opened the way to cease & desist

my ceaselessly futile attempts at understanding my family's blatantly byzantine dynamics.

Walked away - well, that was my intent, if not always my reality.

The only thing all that storm & stress had yielded was more stormy stress. It took until the past couple years, but was finally able to SEE that and then let go of the related, suck-you-in & drag-you-down issues.

Which was when the Universe was finally free to give me the BEST surprise birthday present EVER - Anna & her almost freaky people-mapping insights! Seriously - our first coaching session was the day after my b-day!!!

Coincidence?

Mere happenstance?

I think NOT!

Thank you, Universe ~ and keep all those blessings coming!!!

Anna

Gee, talking about everything being in its place! What a blessing that Anna Friesen Cole & I connected just when we did - certainly no mere accident.
