 What makes Linda so passionate about possibility?
Even as a little girl, I lived in Passionate Possibility. I mean, who can resist the lure of an office supply store, full of potential? All that paper, all those crayons. It was exhilarating! And when I got home with my new supplies, it was a thrill to create something that was uniquely ME.
As I grew up, I took a detour. I twisted myself into a pretzel to make other people happy (aka codependency, et al). Finally I realized that taking care of myself is the deepest form of honoring the sacred intention that is part of being alive: to BE a human being.
I discovered that being exactly who I am, remembering that I am a spiritual being having that proverbial human experience, is the way I live a life full of grace. And that's all that matters.
Sure, I have diplomas on the wall, a bunch of awards. For years, I filled up my life with marketing and advertising and reporting and TV and radio and newspaper and development. I owned my own advertising firm for more than a decade. And there were marriage (s), children, pets, civic commitments, meetings, meetings and more meetings.
Yet it's only been in the last few years, when I retrained as a retreat facilitator through the Conversations with God Foundation, as a spiritual life coach with Coach for LIfe and as a facilitator of Speaking Circles, that I fully came into myself. Now I love helping move people into that same space of vitality and energy. Everyone finds it at a different level, like a tuning fork seeking its true resonance.
What did Linda do with her time before she became a coach?
Let me list the careers: Radio copywriter, Jacksonville, IL
TV reporter and anchor, Louisville, KY
Radio reporter, radio account executive, Canton, OH
Newspaper reporter, film critic, Durham, NC
Grants & Partnership Director, public schools, Durham, NC
Ad agency founder and president, Durham, NC
Author, Durham, Doorway to Discovery
All that media experience translated to one heck of a marketing firm. We had a great time for a dozen years, but then it was time for a change: soul work!
What's Linda famous for? Her organic veggie garden; sour cream peach pie; buying a hot air balloon without knowing how to fly it (and with a serious fear of heights!); attracting lots of hummingbird families to her yard; homemade dog food for her Shelties; Sacred Laughter during coaching; writing wonderful essays; enthusiasm; hugs, hugs, hugs, hugs, hugs! And a couple more hugs! And of course, passion and possibility!
