"Passion burns down every branch of exhaustion" Rumi

On the 5th November, I celebrated a year of being a Co-Active coach. I will always be able to celebrate with fireworks the weekend that I reconnected with who I am and brought her back to life and the weekend that I found the role I was meant to play in this world. During the last year, I have coached a minimum of one person every week, I have also coached a team and run coaching workshops. I still have to remind myself that it is a real job and always feel so much gratitude that I get to do this for a living. Its one of those vocations where the more you fully step in to who you are and the more you bring that to what you do, the better you are. And it is fuel. I don't know any other work where, it doesn't matter how tired I am, coaching is thrilling and energising.

So I am putting a wish out there that I would like to expand my practice to more like minded souls who are committed to living their "wild and precious life" and ready to start taking up their space in the world. Coaching can be a technicolour experience. It takes work, some real self-awareness and honesty, and just committment to your own journey, and the rewards include the following:

- You get to create the life you want on your terms
- Working through self-limiting beliefs and old and outwarn behaviours and releasing them so that you can really start to move forward
- Richer relationships with others and with yourself
- Bringing to life dreams that you didn't believe were possible
- Clarity and focus on what is important for you
- The freedom to be consciously at choice and present in each moment

I work from the belief that who we are being and who we are becoming creates actions that get us moving towards where we need to go and that the whole process starts with how we relate to ourselves. Coaching is permission to take your life and play and create, and to know that even when you fall over you are still learning and moving closer to where you need to go.

If you'd like to find out more and experience first hand what this experience is like, I offer a sample session that is free and comes with no strings. I have Skype and am happy to coach people from anywhere as long as the time difference works! I can be contacted at wild horse coaching [a] hot mail dot com.

"Love is not a thing to understand. Love is not a thing to feel. Love is not a thing to give and receive. Love is a thing only to become And eternally be." Sri Chinmoy

Love has always been an obsession of mine ever since I was a little child, I've always been led by my heart. So, without wanting to quote Whitney Houston, here are ten things that I do for myself to feel loved:

1. Eat well and consciously. Cook food using fresh ingredients while listening to music and eat every mouthful awake and in the moment.

2. Clear away all the useless objects and clutter to create a clean and clear space where I can breathe. Infact any homemaking activities like putting photos in albums, mending, sorting and I feel really looked after.

3. Twenty minutes every morning focusing on my breathing and getting really connected and and centred, acknowledging whatever is there and accepting it.

4. When I write every day, I wake up like a person in love, on fire and lit up with the anticipation of spending that sacred time creating and discovering.

5. Reading my favourite blogs religiously keeps me on course, inspired and creative.

6. Walking in nature. I just don't get to do that nearly enough. It keeps me feeling alive and awake.

7. Yoga gets the energy flowing all over my body. Yum!

8. Spending time with people I love and laughing. Sharing champagne and Turkish delight.

9. Being kind and being my own best friend when times get tough.

10. Staying present. Being in each moment filled with possibility and choice, knowing that we only really have right now.
