Recently, my daughter Mattie and I enjoyed hiking together at Point Reyes. Before our hike, we stopped at M & H Bakery in San Anselmo for lunch. We found ourselves sitting outside on the ground, engaged in conversation as we waited. Sensing a profound connection, a stranger approached us and asked to take our photo. I couldn't help but burst out laughing at the stark transformation in our relationship. You will understand why if you have read any of my earlier blogs. 

For the past two years, my partner and I have gone to Limitar Beach about three times a month. I am often teased about how often I go out here. I hear comments like “Oh, what a surprise” or “Again, really.” It is difficult for me to share how profound of an experience this place is for me.

Happy May‍! My creative genius is playing hide-and-seek with me. I have sat down for two hours to write something, only to hit delete. So, I went for inspiration. I picked up a Billy Collins poetry book and opened it to the following poem, Genius by Billy Collings. 

Happy April! Today, I'm excited to share two things close to my heart. The first is to clarify my coaching. It came from a conversation with a potential new client who approached me for "Business Coaching." When he asked me about my coaching, I explained to him that it is not limited to business but applies to all areas of his life. My coaching approach focuses on the person as an individual, and we work towards developing their capacity to understand how their mind works, be with their emotions, and access their innate wisdom.

The genius of people takes my breath away from these shows. The performer’s genius in this video is visible. But what is not visible is the other people who have contributed their gifts to make this happen. I love discovering, witnessing, and bringing to light my client's genius. My new love of the Gene Keys helps me see their genius much easier. The Gene Keys synthesize practical wisdom that helps me understand my clients and their true potential. It feels like I am cheating. I open a client profile, and my breath gets caught in my chest. Tears form in my eyes. I am taken away by the beauty I see. It is like I have been given a shortcut to see someone’s beautiful soul and the struggles they have to face as a human.

In Numerology, 2024 is the number 8. The 8th Gene Key! As many readers have seen last year, I fell in love with the Gene Keys, a system of personal development based on contemplation. For the past 18 months, I have contemplated the Gene Keys for hours a day. When I wake up in the middle of the night, I reflect on the different keys and see what I see.
