"Oh the Places You'll Go!"

"Congratulations!
Today is your day.
You're off to Great Places!
You're off and away!

You have brains in your head.
You have feet in your shoes.
You can steer yourself
any direction you choose.
You're on your own.
And you know what you know.
And YOU are the guy who'll decide where to go."

These are the opening paragraphs for Dr. Seuss' "Oh the Places You'll Go!" Isn't it funny how some little tid bit of information, an event, or an experience can sit in the back of one's mind, just waiting for the perfect moment to go "click!" Sometimes it's more like "BAM!" Or maybe "dugh..."

Two years ago, at the end of my Life Coach training, one of my instructors read us this story, "Oh the Places You'll Go!" I had read the book myself several times before, so although I was amused with my instructor's silly antics while reading, I wasn't particularly moved by the text.

Until today.

As I was deciding what information to include in this newsletter, it hit me that just a few months ago I was contemplating going back to a "real" job. You know, the kind where you work 9-5, fifty weeks a year, making a lot of money for someone else. If you're lucky, much of your life is not sucked up by a lengthy commute, and you actually enjoy what what you do. And as I considered how nice the "security" would be, I realized that I would also be giving up something for which I have intense passion, and also brings me great joy.

So, I decided it was time. I needed to go places. I didn't know where I would go, or how. In fact, the more I tried to figure this out, the more confused I got. I needed to stop thinking and just move my feet!

And where has it taken me? I am so excited to announce that I will be joining the brand new Med Spa New England in downtown Plymouth! The space is absolutely gorgeous. I will be able to provide coaching, group coaching, workshops and special events all in one place, while sharing the space with some great practitioners! If you are close enough, I hope you will stop in November 24th or 25th from 11:00-4:00 for our Holiday Open House!

And the journey has just begun. With my new radio program, a product launch in the works, all of my amazing clients and the new connections I am making, who knows where I'll end up!

What journey have you been wanting to take? Do you want to write a novel? Join a club? Climb Mount Everest? Or simply take some time to soak in the bath tub? Dr. Seuss has some inspiring words for you...

"And will you succeed?
Yes! You will, indeed!

KID, YOU'LL MOVE MOUNTAINS!

So...be your name Buxbaum or Bixby
or Brayor Mordecai Ali Van Allen O'Shea,
you're off to Great Places!
Today is your day!
Your mountain is waiting.
So...get on your way!"
