Sweet, Sweet Soul

A couple months ago I mentioned I’m experiencing a major change in my life. I can how share with you that my job is being phased out and I’m on ‘the job hunt’. My passion is coaching and empowering others to live their best life and to this end I have been on the search, open to new and exciting experiences where I can use my gifts to uplift others, supporting them to find their Power within to accomplish whatever is important to them. 
 
During this process I have been keenly aware of how peaceful I’ve felt.  I’ve done my inner work and have come to trust my Higher Power – my Creator – that I am being led to where I am meant to be.  I see myself as a joyous co-creator, in touch with my gifts, my passion and open to God’s guidance, knowing I’m being led where I can best be of service.  How did I arrive at this place of peace?  Why am I not freaking out?
 
I’ve been blessed to have had a strong connection to my Creator, my Source, aka God, since I was a child.  Connection to God was valued highly in my family, and my Dad and Mom both taught the value of being of service by what they said and how they lived their lives.  Though my parents laid a strong foundation, I’ve had to find my own spirituality, which has made that connection strong. Getting sober, participating in 12 Step recovery, healing my inner child and staying connected to her and my Source through journaling, prayer, meditation – keeping my Connections strong, as I’ve mentioned in previous posts, have all been vital to my growth, empowerment and serenity.  To learn more about my journey check out my book ‘Waking Up Sober in a Convent – and Other Spiritual Adventures’. 
 
I’ve continued my spiritual development by reading and studying A Course in Miracles.  I attend a wonderful study group each Sunday.  This has become my ‘church’ time, and I value the connections, insights and support I receive from my group and from J’s message in the Course. The Course has then led me to another spiritual book:  The Way of Mastery.  In this book, J speaks again to us, sharing powerful processes for following our heart, transforming fear into love and finally knowing the truth of who we are:  God’s kids, created by God to reflect who God is:  unconditional Love!
 
Do you ever wonder why you feel so good when you’re being loving? It’s because that’s your true nature!
 
Now, if you feel fearful of opening your heart, of being loving, don’t worry. That fear is just letting you know you have some healing work to do.  What can this healing work look like?  Using a cognitive approach, it could be to notice the messages you give yourself, write them down, and then come up with more nurturing, empowering messages to give yourself.  Or, using the Inner Child model, that fear is just your scared, vulnerable inner child who needs to be loved.  Re-parent your inner child with love, patience, perseverance and guidance.  If you’re curious about how to do this work, review my previous blog from 8/1/18.
 
Whichever approach appeals to you, please know that I’m here as your coach to guide and support you through this process, if you like.  Just text or give me a call and we can get started.

  • What tools have supported you on your spiritual journey?

  • What strategies best support you to move forward towards empowerment?
  • What are you willing to do to be free?

    About Kathy

    As a National Certified Health and Wellness Coach, I specialize in the following issues:
    • dealing with grief and loss
    • issues related to growing up in an alcoholic/dysfunctional family, ie self-esteem, grief, stress management, inner child.
    • quitting smoking or vape
    I have been on a spiritual quest throughout my life, seeking answers to some of life’s deep questions: 
    • Why are we here? 
    • What happens after we die?
    • If God is Love, why does God allow us to suffer pain and loss?
    • How can we find peace and joy amidst the challenges and changes in life? 
    I have long been drawn to these deep ponderings, as well as to a life of service. I entered the convent at 20 years old, was blessed to get sober while in the convent, felt led to leave two years later, and then continued my spiritual journey.

    You can read my spiritual memoir ‘Waking Up Sober in a Convent – and Other Spiritual Adventures’ – click on the Book tab at top of page or go to www.KathyStolecki.com 
    ​
    Along the way I’ve found spiritual tools to aid my recovery from addictions and codependency, have learned the power of being true to myself, have discovered the gift of freedom by dealing with grief and loss and have found spiritual nuggets of GOLD which I’m so excited to share with you! I will be sharing these nuggets with you in my blog.

    I am also available to support you on your journey as your Coach. See my Coaching page for more information.
