GREEN HOPE Winter GATHERING
This time of year can be a calming. We tuck ourselves in a cozy chair under a soft warm blanket to read or ponder the weather outside. Yet this can also be a very difficult time. Every hard thing seems harder when the winter days are short and the nights long. We sometimes hole up in our homes, not to avoid bad weather or cold temperatures, but to evade the expectations of others, or conceal the hurtful, sometimes harsh feelings we carry within.
We may be suffering because we have lost someone dear to us. Or perhaps it is another kind of loss- a job, our health, a friendship. Or perhaps it is the feeling that we must work more long hours or care for so many who are hurting. Especially over the last two years as we have felt deeply the uncertainty and fear that has come with the global pandemic that never seems to end and leaves no one untouched by its reach.
Figuring out what to do with our emotions when our hearts are of full of grief is … well, overwhelming is putting it mildly. I get it. I’ve been there - am still there at times in my own story. It can feel like a very lonely journey.
Yes, it is true that we must wrestle with the way we handle our response to our losses. Yet we don’t have to do it alone.
That’s why you are invited to the GREEN HOPE GATHERING during the winter months as we look for ways to support and encourage one another as we maneuver through this winter season…
THIS IS FOR YOU IF …
You have (recently or long ago) lost loved one,
or experienced a loss of job, health, relationship, or dream….!
You are dreading the ‘coldness’ of the winter months.
You are stuggling to find HOPE during these often dark, winter months.
THIS IS FOR YOU IF You want …
To have a safe and supportive enviroment for honest conversation
To not have to drive somewhere with the uncertain winter weather. (You can show up from your home in your jammies if that makes you more comfortable.)
To know you are not alone. Misery loves company, right? It helps to know you are not the only one who struggles.
A community of women who get what you are going through and are willing to walk with you.
A place to share openly and honestly and not be judged for what we are really dealing with.

P.S. Experiencing a WINTER after loss can be an excruciatingly painful time. But we don’t have to do it alone.
Here’s what others have said:
TRESA: I signed up for Kathy's masterclass after the loss of my mom, thinking I had this grief holding me back, which I did. But what she shared made me realize that I was stuck in so many other places in my life and it was holding me back. I love kathy's way of helping you see what is going on and how you can move forward in a positive way, trusting God through the process. She gives you steps to take which helped me to move forward and release the grief and the stuck places. Thank you Kathy!
DONNA: Thank you so much for helping me to think through some very important things that were truly affecting me. I found just these few days to be a huge help. As I said before, I now know I am not alone in the struggle and can think a little more clearly. I am so appreciative of your help. I almost feel like my old self again I just needed to acknowledge that sometimes we need help!!
DAWNITA: I had no clue why God prompted me to join you this month, but boy howdy did he dig up some stuff I had festering pretty deep. He used you to clean out the wound and start my healing.
Join us for the GATHERING, won’t you?
Let’s do this winter together.
Feeling like you need more personal help -
but not sure you want to share that in a group?
You can schedule a monthly support package privately with me called
Green Hope Coaching for the Hard Stuff
Hard stuff is hard enough to deal with - especially during the holidays.
Arrange this for yourself, or for someone who love who is struggling. You - or they- don't have to do this alone.
I look forward to partnering with you so you can...
