"I am relieved to say that I did it!  What is "it"? Well, Covid has presented so many different aggravations to my life and to my school year and made my workload extremely difficult. My home life suffered, my mood was angry, my world was in turmoil.  Early August, seeing your posts on such positive outlooks in life, I knew you had something I didn't. Something I wanted.  So I decided to reach out to you about the crisis before me, surrounding me and hurting my spirit. It was then you told me of your new adventure in being a life coach.  It all made sense to me then! Of course this was where God led you to help others! As a friend for many years you have always been that girl who wanted things better for everyone!  I knew about some of your old struggles and to see how you overcame them led me to be inquisitive. How did you post such positive hope for us girls who struggle with life? I knew you were the person I needed  to help me out with my own life!  Our 4 week session was a committal that I had promised, but I doubted myself to fully commit.  After talking on week 1, I realized the positive words you said were dead on to my personal story.  You gave me professional, loving, tender, goal orientated tasks on how to begin to look at my world.  You led me to see the beauty again in my days, (or at least search for it again). You had me start journaling with just a small amount of work to write down what 3 things I am thankful for each day. Seemed daunting, because I just couldn't get there, but I did. It forced me to look at my whole day and pull something positive out of it. That was the beginning . I then looked forward to our talks on Mondays, with a do not disturb sign for everyone and everything around me. My time with Paula. Each week, we worked on small and large issues and you stayed focused on my well being. Thank you for that! 4 weeks went by! I have valued the insight you have given me, valued the commitment you showed me. And have valued the check up texts to see how I am doing! I am not done with working on myself, (never will be), But I know that I am not alone, Not unable, not weak, and not quitting on me! You made me realize that I am worth it...... Thank you for everything!"  -TA
