Love is in the air
I'm thinking of setting up a dating agency.
OK, not really, but two of my recent clients have successfully proposed to their partners and are doubtless, as I write, getting their plans for the Big Day in order. How great is that?
The first, you may remember, was a lovely lady who took the opportunity of this Leap Year to pop the question on February 29th (see my blog entry of Thursday 6 March 2008).
The next is a great chap who I coached towards the end of last year. He'd hit a really low phase, his social life and love life were in tatters, and he'd lost confidence in himself.
Six months on and things have never looked better for him. He contacted me to let me know his good news: "I couldn't be happier. So much so that I proposed yesterday, and she accepted! ...... It's amazing that my life has changed so much in a year. Anyway, just really wanted to share the good news with you as you have played a part in how my life has changed."
You know, it's fascinating how, when we start to take control of our lives, and to find the positive, things tend to just fall into place.
It's also true that we need the 'dark' bits in order to give shade to our 'light'. Maybe this chap's low period, unpleasant though it was, was just what was called for to give him the impetus to move forwards. And now things are going well he can appreciate them so much more.
It's a real pleasure and delight to be part of a person's growth from the less good bits to the much better (if not fantastic) bits.
Maybe I should call my coaching practice ej life coaching and matchmaking?
