Trusting new adventures
Hannah at the dentist…..
Last week, my almost 3 year old granddaughter Hannah had her first trip to the dentist. She said she needed her glasses to feel brave. I’m always amazed at how kids summon up enough courage to do the things adults tell them to do. It must have sounded crazy to her . . . hop in that chair and open your mouth so the doctor can poke around with sharp tools!
I think we are sometimes the same as these young children, sometimes we just need to trust. Peter and I are starting a new adventure and I’m sort of needing some cool sunglasses to feel a little more brave. We have been asked to be the Directors of the Family Search Center in Orange County. A type of church mission, for two years. Family history and genealogy have felt as foreign to me as a trip to the dentist must have felt to Hannah. I’m nervous and a little scared and very excited. The only part I feel fairly confident in is running the library .… I’ve done that sort of thing before! :) But I’ve already met so many wonderful people who are ready and willing to help. The whole place has this incredibly positive energy, I love being there.
We’ve learned so much already and learning new things is part of life. Adventures are important. I’m deciding to trust that good things are ahead. After some self coaching… I’ve decided to practice believing that this is exactly where I’m supposed to be, that it is an opportunity to learn and grow, and that I will love it! Did you know you get to choose what you will believe? Just like you can choose your thoughts, the thoughts that serve you and make your life lighter and better. Such good news!
We will be at the Family Search Center a few days each week, so come and visit! The library has incredible resources, advisors ready to help and it is free to anyone and everyone. Find out where your family is from and learn their stories. You can even scan old photos or VHS tapes for free.
It really is an incredible place where things happen for good….like the dentist!
Life Coaching helps in most new adventures . . . . (and yes . . . . I’ll still be coaching)
