The link to this video was sent via email by my father. I have just watched this one & will watch some of the others on YouTube when I have more time. Each of us has issues & struggles; our personal mountains, trials & heartache to deal with. I have moreover had my own obstacles to overcome & hope to encourage others through my work & this blog to have a full life, filled with hope & promise. But, every so often, you come across a person who just ‘blows you away’ with their story. This is one such man.

I have yet to read more approximately this gentleman, yet so far I have learnt that he was born without limbs & that he became a Christian. He travels to share his hope with others. What an inspiration. It has brought me up short to realise that when I moan approximately the smallest things, like the cellulite on my legs, that this is a reminder that I do in fact, have a pair of legs & am able to fully enjoy walking with my dog & husband in some of the most attractive countryside.

This morning I have been humbled & ask for forgiveness. Blessings to all who watch Nick’s videos.

I have recently completed one of my coaching qualifications & am now moving forward to the next stage within my profession. I am looking for people who are interested in receiving coaching in order for me to progress further.

Coaching is not counselling & therefore the people who are interested in taking part should consider themselves to be in sound mental health. There will not be a charge for the coaching sessions & the number of sessions will be between 6 & 12, depending on the needs of the participants.

So, What is Life Coaching then? It is a number of different things & ultimately will lead to changes in your life. Coaching is led by the client & not the coach, meaning that you select the topic you wish to work on & the coach will assist in directing you to make the changes. This simply stated, is using your goals & action plans to obtain you from where you are now, to where you want to be in your chosen topic.

The process is confidential between coach & client in accordance with adherence to an ethical code of conduct. Through this process you will be supported & encouraged to reach your full potential.

When booking the services of a coach, you can expect to pay anything from £50 per hour upwards. If, therefore, you have ever thought approximately coaching to assist you with your goals or assistance in your work/career, relationships, dieting, finding a partner etc., then this could be a wonderful FREE opportunity for you.

If you would like to be considered for one of three client places, I would love to hear from you. The deadline for notification is by the end of May 2012, with a view to starting the coaching mid-June 2012 onwards. In the first instance, please indicate your interest in one of the following ways:

1. Via a comment underneath this post.

2. Via the Forum on this website.

3. Via Twitter at @lellierennie.

4. Directly via email to lesley@fragilewings.co.uk

Anyone wishing to be considered may be based anywhere in the world.  Coaching can take place via email or other written correspondence & for those who are based in the United Kingdom, via the telephone as well. For those who live in the South East of the United Kingdom or London, face-to-face coaching will moreover be available. The details of which will be discussed with successful candidates.

Please email any questions, in confidence, to the email address shown above. I will answer all enquiries. I look forward to hearing from you.

Change. Doing something differently. Doing something better.

Is possible!

At some point, each one of us desires to change. Is it easy? Sometimes. But not always. Even life coaches need to make changes.

In January I wrote a post entitled “Sugar & Spice & all things nice” as I had decided to alter my goal from starting a diet to that of taking better care of me overall. I have not reached this goal as yet. I will confess to struggling with menu planning & cutting back on sugary foods. Of course, this means that I have yet to lose some weight. I’m sure that many of you know this feeling? So, I was still awake last night at 1.00 am thinking approximately this & how to move forward. My lack of enthusiasm for the process of cooking a meal from scratch leads me to eat convenience food, which has led to weight gain. I decided to search the internet for nutritional information on some of the products that I use.

If you are looking for the same information on the amount of calories & fat & sugar in your favourite treats, I found that some of the supermarkets have superior websites approximately their groceries. The 3 that I found most helpful were:

www.sainsburys.co.uk

www.waitrose.com

www.tesco.com

It made for a satisfactory hour’s absorbing reading until the small hours! I know that if

presented with a bowl of fruit salad & a bar of Cadbury’s Dairy Milk that the fruit is more beneficial, yet I have been ignorant of the fat, sugar & calorie content of packaged foods like yogurts, pizza, ready meals, cereals etc. I was horrified to learn that even so-called health foods like muesli are full of fats & sugars. I moreover have realised that what I thought was a meal for one person, is in fact for 2 people! No wonder I have gained middle-aged spread!

This caused me to lay awake long after the computer was switched off to think how to implement some changes in the foodstuffs that I eat. If you are trying to lose weight without dieting, you may find these simple tips that I am implementing as of today of use too.

• Look at the packet label for nutritional information
• Check the information that says ‘per 100g’ of product
• For the foreseeable future, eat food that contains 4g of fat or less per 100g
• Eat the food over the course of 2 days & not one sitting
• When deciding to eat a takeaway, share the portion with my husband or eat the leftovers on the following day
• And finally, not deny myself any particular food group or treat, yet eat in moderation

I will update you on my progress & I will say that today is going well so far at the time of writing. Below you will find my sample menu:

Breakfast: Bran Flakes with chopped banana & skimmed milk

Mid-morning: Dark rye cracker with brie

Lunch: 1 whole wheat pitta with ham, lettuce & cucumber & 1 Activia yogurt

Dinner: Rump steak, potato salad & dressed leaves

Enjoy your weekend & let me know how you obtain on.

Best wishes, Lesley Rennie

The last few days have seen the media & social networking sites awash with the death of Whitney Houston.  I have been thinking approximately her these last few days; she was only 4 years older than I am.  I was a teenager going to clubs & I remember dancing to Whitney Houston songs at a weekend.  I have always thought that she had the most astonishing musical gift, coupled with her physical beauty; she was destined for stardom.  Her legacy will be her body of work & the daughter she leaves behind.  My heart goes out to the family & fans who loved her.

The sun has now set upon Whitney Houston’s life, although she will be remembered for all time.  The music industry has lost a tremendous artist & her family have lost a beloved mother, daughter, sister & wife.  Who would have guessed that the fresh-faced artist that dominated the pop charts through the 1980s & 1990s would leave our world like this?  Recriminations for the music world will no doubt come.  I cannot profess to understand what a life led in the eye of a camera lens is like; I am assuming that the fame that comes with certain professions like music & film is a double-edged sword.  Whitney Houston & those who were perhaps closet to her may understand the causes that led to her spiral into alcohol & drug abuse.  I do not know enough approximately her after years to know if she sought professional assist for her troubles or indeed, if she ever was able to come through them. 

For those of you that follow me on @twitter & this website, thank you for reading.  I would urge you however to seek assist if you suffer from any form of emotional or behavioural issue; mental health disorder, suicidal thoughts, addiction in any form, relationship problems etc.  I have, in the past, had some troubles & have received wonderful assist from professionals.  If you cannot manage that just yet, then please do seek out a trusted person who will listen & support you through your dark days.  Connect with me here & seek inspiration for moving forward & finally, don’t leave it until it is too late, like Whitney.

May God bless your soul Whitney.

Happiness does not depend on who you are or what you have.  It depends solely on what you think.
