As you can read from the blog description above and the personal profile to the left, Real Gurl Life is all about living authentically. It is sounds good to say but so much more difficult to do. When we are brave enough to be our true selves, then we can be truly happy. Many folks never find this "sweet" spot in life. It isn't perfect, but it sure feels good!
If you are wondering what credentials I have to bring to facilitate this program, I will say that this is a question I often ask myself. The resume is less than stellar, but here is what I have got: I have a couple years of community college studying psychology. I have worked through The Genesis Process with a small group successfully. I then became a facilitator of the same, working with three groups weekly to move through the process of change. I have raised a family. I have worked in office administration for most of my life. I have also spent some time in health insurance, web design, and most recently, physicians billing. Oh, and I have a dog. Does that count?
Seriously none of these things add up to credentials as considered by the world and yet, ALL of these things ARE my credentials. Some people call it the "School of Hard Knocks." I call it "Surviving Ground Zero Moments and Living to Tell About It."
All I know is that when I successfully completed my turn in The Genesis Process and turned to being a facilitator, my whole being came to life. I felt awake. I knew I had found something that I loved to do and I was pulled towards it like a magnet. I knew that I was completely fulfilled doing it. There has not been one day that has passed since that I have not been yearning to help other women find the freedom that I found, in spite of everything I did to wreck it.
Real Gurl Life is in the process of becoming and it is thrilling to me to be able to talk about it beginning!
