Hello, To begin in a 'top of the hat manner', I'm an avid "Mindvalley quester" who likes metaphors.....and I'd just like to say thank you re: my new and sincere appreciation for the otherwise unfamiliar concept/challenge that is the DLT! Approaching material from an array of perspectives will enable me to consistently revisit and identify my own concocted assumptions, areas for growth, etc ever the more!....not to mention remind me of and school me in various methodologies.....and to thereafter (and in time, of course) devise a clear and ongoing 'learning and serving' framework. Oh, and I am also most grateful for the alignment and focusing suggestions offered in this course/group, too! I suspect that aligning my focus will increasingly enable me to weed out all that does not serve me (and/or my clients). Being new to the coaching world (though I do have a psych background), the past several months of my life have been geared towards articulating my passion and purpose, learning and unlearning, and discerning for myself how I can best implement and convey the intangibles to serve others from a place of genuine love....(and recovering my neural capacity after having sustained brain assaults in the form of MS lesions....and "chemo brain" ...which, ps-I would welcome any day of the week, if it meant catalyzing the reversal of the impacts of said lesions...and to date, it has! Woohoo!!). Anyway, that's another story... Of more relevance, while undergoing a stem cell transplant this past December I experienced an awakening that I have yet to find words to translate. To inadequately summarize, I became aware in an instant of my choices and their implications, those of others, our infinite support networks, the lifelong series of illusions that humans construct into reality, (yep, that includes the illness I had unwittingly created in my body!), etc. I have to date not shared these experiences aloud. It is a bit unnerving for me, yet I understand the profound importance of finding a way to share and to mitigate the damage of stress and detrimental focus on this planet as I can while I can. My goals moving forward are to embody the presence of who and what moves through me/us, to dare to emerge from behind curtains of my too often and to date squandered and silenced voice, to engage with any and all in a manner that facilitates growth and loving energies and gives back. I desire now to help people to awaken to the oneness of which we are ALL a part....the very oneness that carries the capacity to heal in profound ways. Finally, and on a more pragmatic note I am still narrowing my niche. That said, the 'clarity' exercises in tandem with the business plan template will prove invaluable as I 'iron out my service plan' in 'worldly' fashion. These will necessarily evolve as I gain in applied, diverse experiences... not unlike all other aspects of my life....:) Anywho, thank you for providing this learning opportunity/platform. I enjoyed and appreciated the quest immensely. Blessings aplenty, Janice
