Haiku 2021 Part 41, #283-9

-

 #283

Discouragement does
come to all, like it or not,
but the brave push on

#284

Pay that credit card
on time adulting habits
look at me function

#285

Ride the wind, sweeping
swirling carried by currents
unpredictable

#286

Like soft butter, spread
breath across muscle fiber
tension melt away

#287

Body positive
at least neutral, respecting
yes appreciate

#288

Creepy old basement
dating to before the war
prior to bomb's fall

#289

Leaves crunch underfoot
Rain splashes down on the world
Sounds of the season

What Coaching Provides

-
Coaching Life coaching supports people in creating unprecedented results in their lives.  This can be in any area of life: career, relationships, leadership, spirituality, finance, health, and creativity.  Ontological  coaching defined Ontology is the area of metaphysics that has to do with being.  What this means in our work together is that we address your goals and actions ( doing ) in the foreground, while attending to the impact of where you’re coming from in your life ( Being ) on your results. Role of the coach The role of the coach is to provide perspective and facilitate insight and action.  My strengths are providing that kind of perspective and support with energy, enthusiasm, and passion.  Also, if you find yourself saying “I want what she’s having!” that’s a great indicator that a coaching partnership could be for you.  Let’s talk and see if there’s a fit! Many of my clients seek powerful...

One more Shakespeare sonnet today, the one I nicknamed “Roses Have Thorns” during my MFA thesis work. That guy really understood relationships! Sonnet XXXV (35)   By William Shakespeare No more be grieved at that which thou hast done: Roses have thorns, and silver fountains mud; Clouds and eclipses stain both moon and sun, And loathsome canker lives in sweetest bud. All men make faults, and even I in this, Authorizing thy trespass with compare, Myself corrupting, salving thy amiss, Excusing thy sins more than thy sins are; For to thy sensual fault I bring in sense-- Thy adverse party is thy advocate-- And 'gainst myself a lawful plea commence: Such civil war is in my love and hate That I an accessary needs must be To that sweet thief which sourly robs from me. Speaking of relationships going sour, here are some lines I wrote on the same topic some time ago. Getting Through By Blythe Stephens I’m doing what I need to do To get through How dare you Disresp...
