Dr. King's Dream

Today is Dr. King's birthday. I wanted to blog about it but still make it relative to Health, Healing and Spirituality. I was thinking about his "I Have A Dream" speech and really his whole crusade for equality. He was passionate about his work. So much so that he went to jail for his belief and ultimately died for what he believed in. I was watching The Soloist with Jamie Fox and Robert Downing Jr. Robert's character says to his ex-wife referring to Jamie Fox's character, "He has such passion for his music.He believes in the music so much. I have never had that much passion for anything in my life." I could relate. I could relate. I have passion for what I do. My love for holistic health and healing but is it enough? I have passion for a lot of things but am I willing to go to jail for it? Would I go to jail because the government is trying to turn purchasing vitamins into requiring you need a prescription for them? I have often heard people quote "Do what you love and the money will come."  When I did my first Green Goddess Party, I had so much fun. I LOVED what I was doing and it showed as my audience responded. That quote is something I have come to believe in. My New Year Goal, is to step up my passion.

Vegan/Vegetarian Speed Dating

I was talking to someone about getting back into the dating scene. I said I was ready to do this for real this time but that I was interested in someone who was on the same path that I am on. For me, I think that its best that I date someone who understands my weirdness. Not that being a vegetarian or vegan is weird but most people, who are, understand the energetic of being a vegan or vegetarian. Not all, but most. Any way, she suggested speed dating. Not necessarily vegan/vegetarian but speed dating in general. I thought, I wonder if they have a vegan/vegetarian speed dating out there. Hmmmm, I thought I give it a try. I did a search on Google (I love Google; you can find ANYTHING on there!!) I found an online meeting place that was hosting a vegan/vegetarian dating in the area!! WHOOO HOOO. I was in luck. So I signed up and eagerly awaited the date. The day had arrived. I walked in my closets and could not find a thing to wear. What do you wear to these things? So, an outfit was picked out and my best face paint was laid on and off I went. I arrived about ten good minutes early. Just enough time to eat an appetizer. Now WHY would you pick a restaurant that is NOT vegan/vegetarian friendly? I do eat fish but what was on the menu was NOT an appetizer or under ten bucks! So I scouted around to see who might float my boat and really didn’t see anyone. I thought maybe I was early. This shing dig was supposed to start @ 7:30 and it was almost that time. I heard the lady say she was gathering all of us together. Ladies and the booths and the men would be the ones to move from seat to seat. KOOL. I don’t have to do any work.  So the night began. You got LITERALLY 5 minutes with each guy. I had some questions prepared and all of these things I thought I would be able to get out in that 5 minutes. Didn’t happen. Most of the questions were; “Are you are vegan or vegetarian and how long?’ By the time you answered that and they answered that, DING, it was time for the guy to switch. While there was no love connection with any of the guys I met, it was definitely interesting to know that there are others out there who are looking for a mate who has similar eating and life styles. Avoids some of the drama later.

Dating can be intimidating. Just got divorced? Been out of the dating scene for awhile or having issues with relationships? A relationship coach could be just right for you.

New Year Resolutions

 Every year since I can remember, I would make new year resolutions. I would write a list of things what I want to do and or get done. I never had long lists but the things on the lists were extensive. It wasn't until I became a certified career coach and life coach that I learned what I was doing wrong or why my resolutions never lasted past a month or two.


Most people are task oriented. They need deadlines and only a few things to accomplish at a time. However, when it comes to health and wellness, some people need guidance. If people could lose weight or change their eating habits on their own, a lot more people would be doing it.

New Year Resolutions should be more like New Year Goals. When setting goals, a few things must be in order. Goals made must be achievable and attainable. Most people set goals that sound good but are not something they can achieve, whether it is within the time frame or the goal is just too much. I didn't have a support system set up to encourage and inspire me to keep going. That is another reason why women would list working out as their goal, fail. When you set achievable, attainable goals with deadlines, its easier to achieve the results.

Coaching to Greatness!

I received my coaching certification from iPec in 2009. Prior to that in 2008 I had received my certification as a career coach to enhance my position for a company I was working for at the time. What I learned through my training was minus the few tweaks here and there to my coaching style and some other important techniques iPec taught me, I felt I had been coaching people for years and didn't know it.

My undergraduate studies was in criminal justice and psychology. I didn't want to be a counselor but did want to understand behavior and why people did the things that they did. There's a vast difference between counseling and coaching. "Psychotherapy is a general term that is used to describe the process of treating psychological disorders and mental distress. Therapy is interpersonal treatment for problems in living. Counseling and therapy help clients get through past issues so that they can be more functional in their lives." That's not what I wanted to do. I wanted to move people forward. If you tell me you want to start a business, I'll help you get there. If you want to lose a few pounds, I will assist you in getting started and motivate you to stay on task. The motto is "We, as coaches, take you from functional to OPTIMAL!"

With your certification from iPec, you can coach anyone on anything. When I graduated, I was OVERLY excited. I had a business card for everything. I wanted to coach everyone. It got confusing as my main business is holistic health. I felt like Eddie Murphy, who had all of those roles in the movie The Klumps. I had to choose a specialty and stick with it. Since my background of 16 years is holistic health, it only made since to me that my coaching focused on that... Holistic Health and Wellness. The topic is broad enough to encompass everything that I do as it relates to holistic health. If you want to eat a little more healthier, as a certified nutrition consultant, I can coach you into better eating habits. If your church was doing a church wide fast, I can coach groups on fasting properly. When you want to start working out and all of those machines seems scary, as a personal trainer, I can write out a daily workout and coach you through the use of the machines.   

"Coaches work with clients to identify what they want personally and professionally and support them in achieving it. Coaches encourage clients to set attainable goals and help them focus on the task to reaching those goals."

I am a holistic health and wellness coach and I want to work with YOU to help create a more balanced and holistic life. Interested in being coached? Email me at info@nu-bodi.com for a FREE 15 minute information session to see if coaching is right for you.
