What is Loyalty?

Loyalty means the state or quality of being loyal; faithfulness to commitments or obligations. This is whether we are talking about love, family, friends and employees. One major problem is that people are not seen as valued in some cases. Think about all the folks unemployed and layed off who have been loyal for years to their employers. It’s a tough pill to swallow for people to work somewhere for what feels like forever. We can all be replace no matter how good of a job you do.

Now, when it comes to love,family and friends being loyal really counts. In my mind if you can’t be loyal then you don’t deserve to be a part of ones life. We all know lovers, friends and even co-workers that will turn on you at the drop of a dime. Most of the time it has NOTHING to do with you. People who are truly unhappy, jealous, and or have little self esteem are the ones to watch out for.

Remember, stay true to yourself and stay strong when people let you down. I have been there and survived much worse. Again, when one door closes another door opens! WOO HOO!

No More Excuses

My life has been very busy for the past year. I’ve been working close to 55 hours a week at my full time job. I used to blog everyday and need to get back to being CoachMarcie. Most of my coaching has been working with groups to help empower women to overcome their fears and reach for their dreams. I am now working with World Pulse as a mentor for a great pilot program.

Now, is the time for me to focus on myself and my clients. There has been a shift in my career that has me at the fork in the road. Which way do I go? I am a firm believer that when one door closes another one opens. So I pledge to my followers and myself to get back on track. Someone said to me “you’re a coach so therefore I should have my shit together”. I just rolled my eyes and laughed. I’m just like everyone else getting caught up in life but I have the will to move forward without looking back.

Say no to all those diets and yes to “Naturally Thin”

It is rare that I would suggest a book about dieting but I just have to share. Bethenny Frankel new book Naturally Thin is all about changing you view about food. I adore her on Housewives of NY as the sassy single women. The book is easy to read, honest and funny.

My own coaching is about changing patterns and old behavior and this book is all about getting you butt in gear and just doing it.

Do I have to be prefect to coach clients?

Does being a dating coach mean that you have no issues with your relationships? We all have demons in our closets and are not perfect. For me, as a coach my own relationship issues do not come into play when I’m working with clients.

I was a caller on a radio show this week with a famous coach. I chose to ask for some advice from an expert about the direction my coaching was going in. I did not call in to discuss my own 3 year relationship but that was the focus on the call. I was pre-screened so I thought I would knew how the call would go.

My strenghts are working with clients that are having trouble in their relationships or dating. Is the fact that I have never been married and had my own issues affect how I coach? I think not but I could be wrong. I’d like to hear from the folks out there what you think? So please comment on my blog as I will remain totally open minded.

What to be grateful for today

No matter what you think there is so much to be thankful for. I know this time of year can be hard for some people and you must try and stay as positive as possible.
Be grateful for the following:
Each Day
Each experience whether good or bad
Your present health
Your family
Your friends
Your job
Each time you laugh or cry
Making the most out of life
Accepting love in your life
Staying positive
Not taking on others negative energy

Tools for creating the life you want

I found a great tool to help create and organize you life and work. It is called The Bubble Planner. It’s a daily, weekly and monthly planner for your hopes, dreams and goals. I know that in the world of PDA’s we all want to go paperless. My feeling is when you are planning tasks to improve your life you need to use a pen and paper. I personally need to touch and see my action plan.

The bottom line is this planner will keep you on track with goal setting. The best part is having a plan for your wishes, hopes and dreams.

I’m Back!

As a lot of my readers have noticed I have not been blogging to much in the past year. I had breast cancer and I’m happy to say I’m cancer-free, my hair is back and so am I. My goal is to get my coaching and consulting going again.

So I have made the promise to myself that as of September 1st I will blog everyday. So keep the emails coming and look forward to some exciting changes coming. It’s been a strange ride learning to deal with new boobs but I’ll be kicking it when I’m 90 with the best boobs around.

Fresh Start 2008

Please join me in making 2008 a great year for all. It is time to say goodbye to any regrets and the things you didn’t do. I just like you need a fresh start and get my life back on track with goals, dreams and desires. 2007 was one of my best and worst years ever since I just beat cancer. You may ask what’s the best part of cancer? The answer is simple. I am so much stronger than I ever imagined. I was tested over and over and I came out on top.

So, on New Year’s Day take out some paper and do this little exercise. Write down all the negative things you have done for the year. Along with the goals that never got completed. If someone broke your heart write about it. Then put the paper in a bowl and burn it. Just say goodbye to each item on your list. Now, write down all you’re grateful for in 2007. Lastly, make a list of your goals for the New Year and a game plan to achieve each one.

You can’t run from the past or change the road you traveled during the past year. But, you can make positive changes and live your best life. Join me in a Fresh Start. And thanks to all the people in my life who were right by my side this year for all their love and support.

Dating someone who has Baggage!

Is dating someone without baggage possible? Let’s be honest everyone has some baggage. We always see on dating site profiles “no baggage please”. It is just a matter of how big is your baggage. Is it the size of a carry on bag or a trunk?

I don’t know about you but having been through sh*t in your life make you either stronger or you let it weigh you down. It’s your choice on how you live your life and what you chose to let go of. I myself could make a list of all the drama in my life but I’ll tell you it has only made me stronger and more secure.
