Need Direction in Your Life? Read This

I'm going to be a life coach*. I have a lot to offer in realistic terms that most people can relate to - I‘m more Lucy Van Pelt** than Dr. Phil with over a decade of extreme parenting under my belt . I already have a reputation for being good (or at least quick) at telling people what to do. Ask any of my family or co-workers.

I’ve been practicing on Facebook for years. I’m definitely not your typical warm and fuzzy type (ask the aforementioned family or co-workers). But I do believe in setting up my friends for success. Here is a recent exchange between me and a friend:

• Friend: I will not be a naughty girl. I will not be a naughty girl. I will not be a naughty girl. I will not be a naughty girl. I will not... Ah, hell. Who am I kidding?
• Me: Take all of the pressure off of yourself - be the best naughty girl you can be!

Difficult person that you can‘t avoid? Channel my mother and smile a nice, little understanding smile while thinking “some people just can’t help themselves.” It works everywhere with any type of person.

Need a new direction for your life? My favorite saying is “When faced with two evils, always pick the one you haven’t yet tried.” It’s led me down some very interesting paths………..

This coaching gig is going to be fantastic! I’ll start with my blog.*** That can will only lead to a website,  then a national magazine column,  then my own magazine to go along with my books, CD's, DVD's and podcasts. Then I’ll make the big leagues - my own show with my very own clips on The Soup. Don’t worry - I’ll stay true to my roots. Instead of “you get a car, and you get a car….” it will be more like “you get a bus pass, and you get a bus pass. You all get bus passes! And best of all, they’re for the short bus!”

**Google “Peanuts” if that name isn’t familiar. Although who am I kidding - if you’re reading this, you are old enough to know who she is.
