Sometimes it’s so easy to underestimate the value of what we do. One of my clients actually wrote a poem about our work together. Blew me away! (And it later was published.)

As a coach-in-training who had that same call with you when I was going through a huge transition, I understand the client’s feeling. This warms my heart; thank you for sharing. 🩶

I love this! I sometimes feel silly for being so hopeful or have such grandiose ideas, but I do indeed believe that writers are here to change lives.

Yes, yes, yes. All writers are peddling in dreams. Like the Royal Dalton Balloon Lady and Balloon Man my Mother collected, their Balloon wares are ideas, dreams, and memories of past experiences that they are selling. Coaches, especially book coaches, are offering writers their dreams dreams! Likewise, the pathway to becoming a book coach is a another kind of dream, too. Hold fast to those balloons, lest they float away. Jennie, you are inspiring!
