I was successful in the corporate world - I had money, but I was poor inside. I had a dream, a vision, of a ‘me’ who was truly rich and free; a me that...was peaceful in the middle of a traffic jam; could hear 'I love you" and feel it in my heart; got along with the most difficult of people; fell asleep the minute my head hit the pillow; never second guessed or doubted myself; could skip through a puddle or tumble down a hill - at my age; would have no regrets in the end. I dreamed of a life and a ‘me’ rich in all the things that mattered to me and that money could not buy. There came a time when the pain I was experiencing far outweighed the fear of working towards becoming that ‘ideal, rich me’, and so I began down the road of change. I filled my mind with new,empowering information and I learned A lot about myself and about people, I experienced a lot, I evolved a lot, I healed a lot, I changed a lot. I discovered the world was filled with people just like me, each of them with plenty of money and with a picture of their ‘ideal self’ locked in their minds. Their successes, their nice things, their money, all of it didn't have any more significance than mine did to me. Each of them, like me, was desiring serenity or peace of mind; a richness that can only come when your heart, your mind and your soul are one and at peace. As I was beginning to feel, act and think more and more like my ‘ideal-self’, my life was becoming richer with each new break-through. I was becoming free, spontaneous, accepting and my relationships were soaring. I knew then that I wanted (and maybe needed) to share what I was learning with others who were where I had been. I found significance by assisting others in finding the riches in their lives, in their soul. The Richer I became the more un-fulfilling my corporate JOB was becoming since I had chosen that job on the basis of ‘material’ gains and self-importance. I had grown to a place where I understood that a Rich life had nothing to do with the things I had been chasing and that I could increase my riches, my serenity, my heart’s joy by helping others to learn what I had learned – by internal work of the heart and not external work for acquiring things. So this is where I am today… significantly changed to that ‘ideal self’ I once fantasized about; a truly RICH me. I see now that life is a process, not a destination to get to. I am in my own, continuous process and I love to walk with others that want what I wanted; to be the ‘richest’ self they can possibly be. If you’re successful, accomplished and have everything you want but still, somewhere deep down don’t feel completely RICH…then I would love to work with you and help you find your true riches and eliminate the roadblocks that keep you from seeing them, feeling them and living a truly RICH life. To your RICH Life!!
