On a Personal Note: Picking Up the Pieces
The last few months have been the most difficult I’ve encountered in all of my professional life. Even so, the challenges I’ve faced are fairly small in comparison to others’. In the midst of it, however, I have enjoyed unparalleled support from my dear husband, Paul, my mother (I couldn’t have made it through without her!), and my friend and colleague Mike. Now I am working to figure out what my professional and business priorities are, and I will be evaluating each commitment to see if it makes sense for me and my family. And, I am trying to get through a backlog of papers and laundry! 
I count my blessings: I have fantastic coaching clients. The time we spend together is sacred to me and I appreciate their candor and willingness to be open with the details of their lives. The members of my family are healthy and happy. My husband is ever patient, supportive and loving. My two little girls are beautiful and bring so much joy to my life! I have friends and colleagues with whom I can open up and share the details. I can sense the love and concern of many of my subscribers, who didn’t hear from me last month. I appreciate all of you for what you do for me!

Sara,
When can we talk? Give me some times when you are available, and I will give you a call.
Best,
Bob
Sara,
What on earth has happened? I too am here if you need another ear/shoulder…in the meantime, I will keep you in my prayers.
Chris
Bob, I look forward to being in touch!
Chris, thank you so much. I am happy to see that your email address is still the same! I thought I had lost touch with you because of a previous failure notice. I’d love to catch up.
Sara, Maybe this is the time in your life to be content with a lesser professional load. Find your joy in your beautiful babies and your home and husband for a time. The years pass so quickly; before you know it, you will have more time than you expected for career fulfillment. I’m glad I have had both.
With respect and lovingly, Mama Rose H.
