Easy.
February 2nd, 9am when I call Martha Beck on the phone to coach her as the final step in the Martha Beck Coach Certification process. I do some yoga before the call cause I'm nervous as hell. But, as you would expect, once I actually get on the line and immersed in the process it ceases to be about me, and the coaching flows and the call ends and I am full of love for Martha and full of love for this thing we do which goes by the unfortunate name of life coaching. It was poetic and I'm thinking I might start calling myself a life poet. Except nobody will have a clue what that is.
This whole topic brings me to my next winter potlatch item - which is a copy of Martha's latest book, Steering by Starlight. There are lots of great reviews on Amazon but my favourite review of this book so far is this one from my friend, Marya. I'm giving away a copy to someone who comments on this post -no requirements this time - a simple "put me in the draw!" will work but feel free to share your own rush of the year as well. I will draw from the commenters on Friday at 5pm pst.
