About MeAt some point in my early 30s, I anticipated a midlife crisis and started looking for a way out of teaching college English (no, punctuation is NOT optional); I discovered life coaching (what do you really want? what would your life look like if you got it?). It's been a gradual shift, but a good one, and just in the nick of time. Now, in addition to life coaching, I have begun taking folk guitar lessons to balance out my passion for kung fu. I am questioning my faith/the meaning of life/the purpose of pickles, etc., and finding a middle ground amid the craziness of 21st century American life. More About MeLocation: Brighton, Massachusetts Occupation: Life Coach My Philosophy On Life: Admiral Byrd said, "Find a way or make one." Even during my most difficult days, I have found that this idea that anything is possible can lift me to a point where I can do what must be done. And even if unlimited possibility isn't something I can believe in for today, I can usually believe in it for tomorrow, and thus I keep on going.
And as Terry Pratchett says, "Never resist a perfect moment." My Interests: People, flamenco, kung fu, reading, antiques, sushi, tapas, Japanese woodblock prints (mainly landscapes), furry animals (including guys), different cultures (but you caught that already, no?), Arts & Crafts, Mission furniture, medieval history (east and west), did I mention people?
