Coaches arrive early on the first day of seminar. Trainees come into the room at 12:30 but coaches begin at 9am.

Thelma Box, founder and facilitator of Choices asked each of us to tell a little bit about why we come back, for those who return again and again, and what it is we want to get out of the training this week.

“I come back because I know of no other place where Love is a tangible force in the room,” I told everyone. “And, being able to witness miracles unfolding is one of the greatest gifts I can think of.”

There are miracles in that room. Miracles and magnificence. Wonder and wisdom. There is Love.

and, there are 34 coaches all of whom volunteer their time for five days to be part of the magic that happens when people discover they are worthy. Of Love. Of being present in the world. Of being seen.

We all make a difference and in the Choices room, I get to be part of making a difference in Thelma Box’s dream to Change the world one heart at a time.

I am blessed.

And tonight, I leave the training early to give a talk at Mount Royal University’s Applied Interior Design Program’s DesigNite.

I’ve been working on my presentation for a few days, finishing off the final touches — it is a challenging format. 20 slides/20 seconds per slide.

I’m ready.

Wish me luck!
