What G.U.E.S.T. Star Coaching is NOT:
A consultant. A consultant is often a specialist in a particular area hired to give recommendations, solve a particular problem, or address a specific issue. Coaching is holistic as each client examines the situation, creates a plan with their life coach, and then works side by side to resolve or enhance the challenge.
A therapist, counselor, or psychologist. Therapeutic intervention tends to focus on feelings and experiences of past events, featuring their work in moving toward a different functioning level. Life coaching is oriented toward goal setting, moving a presently emotionally healthy person forward.
A mentor. Fun fact: the term mentor originates from Homer’s Odyssey. The character, Mentor, bestows his knowledge, wisdom, and counsel on Telemachus, Odysseus’s son. Telemachus, Mentor’s student, is older and more experienced, therefore, he looks up to him, seeking advice and guidance. A life coach supports and draws upon the wisdom of the client, guiding them as they extract inner resources.

TO THE DUMP AND BEYOND!
Go to the dump. Do not pass go. What do you associate with a trip to the dump? What does your local garbage or recycling center look like? When has a preacher delivered a message to you on top of a trash can? A landfill is hardly a podium I’d considered Holy Ground! In Jeremiah…

SIGN OF THE K-9 TIMES
That’ll separate the men from the boys. I hear this phrase when someone challenges another to a task. Men are generally stronger, hopefully wiser, more courageous, and sturdier than boys, simply because of life’s growth cycle. I determine a person’s strength by their ability to make sound decisions, to remain peaceful and resilient, especially during…

FOUR COLORS OF LOSS
Black. Red. Blue. Green. If feelings had colors, I’d use black, red, blue, and green to describe my grief process. Who passed? What died? In 2020, our local libraries stopped breathing. Libraries are a primary life support for me. When health regulations required shutdowns, I experienced grief in ways I hadn’t anticipated. Black. That fatal…

HEAVENLY BIRTHDAY
The world was left with a large hole when my mom moved to heaven August 22, 2015. I refer to someone’s last day on earth as their first heavenly birthday. It’s the day to celebrate their eternal birth. (When I get my heavenly birthday, I hope Jesus and I can enjoy dark chocolate cake with…
