Vivianna yes when we can access what we loved to do as a child it gives us wonderful leads to follow. Parker Palmer says that our life is speaking to us all the time. Not just when we were kids but throughout life. What common themes have you noticed in your life? Now that’s a good question.

I’ve always loved going deep. I’d dig dams and alter the course of streams in my youth. I followed excavated gas line ditches for miles and miles. During college for three jobs in a row I went deeper and deeper into the earth, finnally working as a coal miner. Is it any wonder that my coaching business is called CoreU?

Yet I didn’t realize why I named it that until I looked for these common threads.

The Bible calls this concept Spiritual Gifts. I heard a lady speak once at a womens’ church retreat, and she described a quick and easy way to stumble upon yours:

What did you enjoy doing as a child?

I loved this. When I was a kid, I loved playing mommy and babysitting for babies (I’m now a mom and I’ve taught at the elementary school level), I loved the TV Show “Emergency” and anything to do with medicine (I’m now a volunteer EMT), and I loved to tool around in the kitchen (I’m known for my cooking and I’ve worked as a catering manager).

Cath don’t sweat it. We all make choices for what we think are needs until we summon the courage to go for what we really want.
I like that question as well because it allows us to take an educated guess and get moving. Thanks for telling as many people as you can about this question. The answer to it is often very close to what they have been waiting on any way.

I learned in my very early days of coaching that any movement works.

Suzanne and I can attest that you are a delight to work with!

Hi Tom – I wish I’d read this a few years ago. I spent a lot of years doing things that would keep a roof over my head and promising that I would do the stuff I loved later on. It was a really bad idea.

I like this question: “If I must choose today, what work would I begin doing in the hopes that it could develop into work that I love?”

I’m going to print this out and share it with others who will benefit from it too. Thanks.

Oh yes – surprising people is one of my favorite things to do. Delighting people? THAT is what bounces me out of bed each morning – I can’t wait sometimes to see who it’s going to be today. LOL
