Hello, fellow travelers!  It is about time I began actually blogging on my website. I have held this domain and this virtual space for over ten years, trying to decide the best way to use my voice and share my gifts with the world.

And then 50 came… the half-century mark. Nothing like a milestone birthday to make you take a look at how you’re living… and why… and what you need to do with the rest of your time.

I had to take a look at my Generation X roots: entrepreneurial, under-the-radar, creative. Why have I been trying to fit myself into a Baby Boomer world of stability and predictability? Why have I not been listening to the voice of my Creator who showed me the way to be more of who I am and share more of myself with the world?

What am I waiting for?! My best move is to step out and just do it!

My mission is to help YOU live boldly and fan the flame of God’s gift within YOU. Helping others is what I have done since I was a volunteer teacher in elementary school, an activist and student services volunteer in college, a social worker in my first career, a professor to non-traditional students in my second career. When God spoke a word to me in 1998 to help people identify their spiritual gifts, that’s helping. Why stop now? As a minister, teacher, and coach, building up a community of believers to do more of what God has called them to do is, well, all I wanna do!

The tagline on my Coach Nicole logo is “empower, enlighten, enrich, equip, encourage.” God showed me those 5 E’s in 2007 as I was developing my coaching practice. What will I do, and how will I do it? Everything I coach on is grounded in these helping action verbs.

What does helping YOU look like? It starts with sharing a bit of my own “E-story,” which I plan to do over the next few posts.

 

My goals for 2019 are to:

  • Share more from my book, The G.O.D.A.S.S.E.T.S.
  • Post and share more from the book & events on my Facebook page
  • Start my new podcast, ¡WithSpirit!, in September  

 

I look forward to staying connected! Sign up for our eNewsletter to get word of the next post.
