Life Coaching is a client centered, strengths based, solutions focused support for individuals whom are looking to move forward in their lives and be the best they can be. Life Coaching is action oriented with an emphasis on improving present life and reaching goals for the future. My Life Coaching Philosophy…….When you think about what a coach does in sports, it is someone who has the ability t

o assess and get to know a player’s skills and guide his or her players so that they can utilize those skills in order to perform at their maximum potential and be the best they can be. I feel that this is also the goal of a Life Coach, to get to know you the client, learn your strengths and then guide and “coach” you to reach your full potential in:

Confidence, Self Worth & Self Esteem
Understanding how blame holds us back
Loving Relationships That Work
Career Change – Creating Workplaces That
Work
The Mastery of Balance – Juggling a Life
Self Care – Getting Your Own Needs Met
Living Your Purpose
Hot Buttons – Managing Anger, Upsets,
Frustration and Stress
Managing Grief, Loss, Sadness and Change
Connection Parenting
Self & Identity – Surviving the Oppressive
Over-Culture

This is a saying used by those of us who have been diagnosed with cancer in our lifetime.

We do not doctor blame, point fingers, or look back at what we could have done differently.

We keep moving forward focusing on the moment, the precious gift of time, and on what more we can pull out of life.

So as one of those who has been diagnosed in my lifetime I say to you

“ Keep moving forward.”

Always a fun hike at a place even those living above the canyon do not know it’s there.

Located in the Sorrento Valley Carmel
Valley area of San Diego this 5.5 mile out and back hike is a scenic easy- mid hike with a rewarding bonus of a waterfall at the 2.7 mile mark.

I’ve been hiking this trail since 2012 when my son and I first did Los Pen…. Lots of wildlife, ( today saw a red- tail hawk) flowering vegetation. A meandering river/creek which feeds the waterfall

My usual starting point is the West approach trailhead off of Sorrento Valley blvd.

Directions to west approach trailhead: Exit Interstate 805 at Mira Mesa Boulevard/Sorrento Valley Road. Take either I-805 frontage road (Sorrento Valley Road on the west side or Vista Sorrento Parkway on the east side) 1 mile north to Sorrento Valley Boulevard. Turn right and continue 1 mile east to the western staging area for Los Penasquitos Canyon Preserve. Park in the parking lot

Outhouse restrooms at trailhead start. 1.5 liters water, temp low 70’s, nice Ocean breeze

Have fun

Our thoughts are not a choice - but our thinking is.

Those automatic negative thoughts are fiction. invalid, and defeating.

Everyday we are given an opportunity to change how we think ( a choice) about those invalid thoughts in such a way that results in our best, better, different selves.

It’s a process, a practice, and a discipline.

As we become more conscious of this, our belief in ourselves and our ability to generate our own inner peace means we attract other people, places, and things, that reflect this same inner peace. It’s a practice and a process
