Great Blog on Bullying…
I just had lunch today with my friend, Alan Eisenberg -we caught up on a number of issues and just generally reconnected. I was very excited to see we are both really focusing on moving forward in our individual areas of passion. Our lunch was an unexpected source of renewed energy. I recommend you make the time to have lunch with a good friend this week -it’s good for the soul! 
Anyway, Alan has a great blog on the subject of bullying from an adult perspective. He is generous with his sharing of very personal first-hand experiences and is successfully building community awareness through his blog, by networking with others with the same mission as well as working on his documentary (contributions are welcome!). Read his story and about his efforts at: http://bullyinglte.wordpress.com/
My Coaching challenge: Have you overcome a challenge that you faced as a child -or as an adult? Think about starting a blog -others can always benefit from your experience and you’ll be amazed at the the healing you’ll experience when you really “know” that you aren’t the only one that went through it. Go to www.wordpress.com to start your blog today! Oh… and schedule lunch with a good friend today!

Thank you so much, Lee. I think what you are doing is great also. Many people are faced with challenges, including overcoming issues from our childhood like bullying, that a life coach can help with. I know you will be a great coach, because you know how to turn challenges into solutions.
So many challenges! I think we all encounter daily challenges. Mine have included starting a business, downsizing a business, divorce - I’m sure there are more. I’ve learned that even in the heart of challenge, there are so many lessons to learn. The best time to appreciate these challenges are after - taking the time to reflect, honor and acknowledge the lessons they bring us. It’s often difficult to see the lessons in the heart of it, but they are always there. They evolve us, push us, and make us who we are.
You are so right, Dana! It’s about knowing that we are where we need to be in this very moment - easy or difficult, this moment is pivotal in our personal growth, it’s as much a part of who we are as the shape and color of our eyes. I agree, we do need to take the time after the challenges to reflect, honor and acknowledge the lessons, as you say -too often we just want to move on and forget.
I like this from Song Chengxian:
“Forgive yourself for any mistakes you have made
in the past, knowing that you are no longer what
you were in the past. Every moment, there is a
new you born and you are living in this present
moment with a new you.”
