Last year, I quit my full-time job, closed down my coaching practice, rented out my condo to incredible tenants and moved to Europe to explore my extreme dream of moving to Spain and Portugal. Life had taken an incredible turn for me when I designed this new path of deliberate creation and flow. It seemed nothing could go wrong.
I moved back to the States in the summer of 2007 not knowing what would be next for me. Would I start my coaching practice again or would I get a full-time job.?After sitting in the stillness for about one month, it seemed my answer found me instead of my searching for it. Former coaching clients began calling me up and I decided to explore full-time entrepreneurship: My other extreme dream.

Book Group Telecalls with Coach Laurie Hacking
We’re having such fun on the monthly book group telecalls. Women from all over the country are coming together for powerful conversations, and we’d love to have you there, too. Last time we discussed Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert. It’s about a woman’s journey to find her truth…to find her self. She set off for a year to explore pleasure in Italy, the art of devotion in India and balancing the two in Indonesia. One area of discussion was the struggle we all have simply relaxing into pleasure and stillness. Each amazing woman on the call committed to making new choices: being okay with ‘not knowing’, finding joy and simply enjoying life in each moment, not having to take care of everybody so she can listen to her own dreams, taking chances and updating stale wants.
NEXT UP! Wednesday, June 25, at 7:00 p.m., we’ll be getting together again for our telecall to discuss The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch. In 2007, computer science professor Randy Pausch, wanted to leave a legacy for his young children, and so he went in front of 400 people at Carnegie Mellon University to deliver a last lecture called “Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams.” With slides of his CT scans beaming out to the audience, Randy told his audience that he had only a few months left to live due to pancreatic cancer. He said “That is what it is. We can’t change it. We just have to decide how we’ll respond.”
Think about it. We can’t always change our situations, but we can absolutely choose how we respond. What kind of choices are you making? Would you be content with how you’re living your days if these were your last few months on earth? Are you simply in motion…or living a deeply fulfilling life?
Come be a part of the conversation on June 25! For more information CLICK HERE, or feel free to contact me.
