…The thought occurred to me. I am hosting a webinar (Thursday night 8:00pm)t about how to deal with days just like this. Days that are hard and everything seems harder and you are gritting your teeth just to get through it.
And here I am having one of those days.
Who am I to try to help people who are having those days when I have those days?…

I posted my first blog introducing you to Green Hope Coaching with Kathy Burrus. Officially GHC opened it's doors on 1/11/11. But I didn't tell my virtual world until 1/22/11. I like to celebrate this whole month the GHC anniversary- or a birthday- or whatever you call it when your business baby turns 8 years old.
I'm celebrating by offering you a free gift to support you in the middle of this winter season. Sometimes the challenges we feel during the dark winter days can become pretty intense. While the journey through hard stuff can feel lonely- we don't have to be alone. Join me from the comfort of your own home,
The WINTER WEBINAR is part of my GREEN HOPE GATHERING series that I plan to do each month of 2019 discussing various topics. This month we will be talking about how to manage the dark, sometimes dreariness of winter that leaves us feeling more isolated and alone. (Though as I am writing this, it is a beautifully crisp, sunny day after a big snow. The sunshine is good for the soul. )
But how do we handle the 'stuff' that we experience during this season when the days are beginning to get longer, and the sun does shine, but not quite?
Join me as we celebrate - and support one another during these winter months. Click here to find out more.
Green Hope Coaching with Kathy Burrus turns 8 years old today. Thank you for joining me in this journey!
This time of year is always a bit confusing for me. We gather together to give thanks for our many blessings, then jump into Back Friday & Small Business Saturday and now comes Cyber Monday where we scramble to “get what we need….” before the Christmas. We hit the mall or our favorite stores, whether it be local or online, to get the best deals of the season so we can save money on the things we may or may not remember to be grateful for by next year.
I don’t mean to sound pessimistic- though I know it sounds pretty much that way. But I’ve been reminded this year of this truth.
The greatest gift we can give is …
For a few weeks now, Rennie and I had been making plans to head to Texas this Thanksgiving weekend to be with our parents. It was NOT going to be easy, we really needed to work, but our hearts longed for ‘home’- the first home we grew up in with the parents who loved us to adulthood and beyond.
But that was not to be- and for several days I have physically grieved what couldn’t be and struggled to see what was. Isn’t that how it is sometimes? We get consumed by what we don’t have and we forget to see what is right in front of us. …
My business is called GREEN HOPE COACHING With KATHY BURRUS. For the past seven years, I have been working, serving, growing the GREEN HOPE COACHING side to help people see green hope in a brown world. I have cherished that opportunity and will continue to serve in that way, partly because I get the importance of it in my own life, but largely because loss is inevitable for all of us. I know how hard it is to find hope in those dark times. It can feel lonely, but we do not need to walk alone.
But in the past 6-8 months, I began to notice a 'discomfort' within myself. I felt like I was squirming and throwing elbows in an effort to break free of something. It seemed like every new coaching option I was presenting was 'failing'
