I am in the pre-launch stages of my new coaching business; percolating new ideas, writing curriculum for workshops, and talking, talking, talking to everyone about my exciting new niche: Dating After Divorce Coaching. I am targeting women over forty, who are having some difficulty in dating after divorce. And I am very excited!

Last night, after rushing from picking up my daughter at the train station to feeding my kids dinner, I traveled a half-hour during rush hour traffic to get to a networking event at EWN. I was a bit frazzled as I entered the lecture on networking etiquette, but I was not nervous at all. I walked in with confidence. Over the past year, I have gone from being anxious and a little nauseous to feeling at ease and comfortable with networking events. I owe that ease to the many skills I have learned along the way, the most important being, Just Do It. Feel the fear, but do it anyway. The more I do, the easier it gets.

I remember my first time. I was driving in a neighborhood about a half hour from my home, and there they were at the end of someone’s driveway, exposed and begging for a second chance: twin oak headboards and footboards, in mint condition and perfect for my kids’ bedroom! With a quickening of my heart and the thrill of a sneaky adolescent, I pulled my car to the curb, opened the back of my forest green station wagon, and shoved in my newfound treasures.

Back in Biblical times, when the Jewish people left Egypt, they witnessed one amazing miracle after another. From the nature-defying splitting of the Red Sea to the awe-inspiring capacity to draw water from a rock, miracles were abound. And yet, the Jewish people were constantly complaining. No sooner had they crossed the sea to dry land, saved from the Egyptians, they were whining to Moses about the water situation. Manna fell from the sky every day so they were never hungry, yet they complained about the lack of meat. How could the Jewish nation be so ungrateful?

Yesterday was another example of the Universe changing course and good things happening because I went with the flow. It was another case in point that we can’t control the outcome of anything, but if we are open to what might happen, we can experience great things.
I had signed up for a luncheon lecture by Linda Kaplan Thaler on The Power of Small at the Entrepreneurial Women’s Network (EWN). I was anticipating a powerful inspirational speech by this highly successful woman business owner, and was disappointed when the morning of the lecture, the speaker cancelled due to a family emergency. Debbie Fay of Bespeak Presentations, had graciously offered to take her place. I had heard Debbie speak before, and I knew she would be dynamic, but I had signed up for Linda, not Debbie, and like a petulant child, I wanted my Linda!!
