It is certainly true that women have more options today than ever before. Yet it is also true that many women, particularly those who choose to become wives and mothers, often put their own dreams on hold for a number of years while they devote their time to meeting the needs of their family. Others may start down one career path and years later realize that they no longer have the same passion they once did for their chosen work. When women experience the realization that there must be something more to life, they often feel stuck. They know they want to make changes; they may even have some idea of what these changes would look like, but the question of just how they are going to move in a new direction can be a major stumbling block. A strong network of support can make all the difference.
According to life coach Kate Johnson, "Women have more options than they think they have." Kate's own journey illustrates this point. She received her Masters Degree in Counseling and worked as a career counselor before having children and becoming a stay at home mom for her two daughters. When her children were in elementary school, Kate and her husband made the decision to move from the suburbs to a farm just north of Boulder. Running Briar Gate farm was a lifelong dream for Kate. She began to teach riding lessons, which grew to include summer camps, and each new venture seemed to open a door to yet another, which eventually led her to Pathways Coaching.
Kate and her mother, a retired college professor, are now offering a course through BVSD Lifelong Learning called Live Your Life with Passion and Purpose. This five week course is designed to help participants find greater joy and meaning in their lives while learning to embrace what gives them energy and rid themselves of what drains them. The class is being offered on Wednesday evenings from 7 - 9 pm February 9th - March 9th, 2011 at New Vista High School. The cost is $149.00 with a materials fee of $10.00. To learn more and to enroll, go to BVSD Lifelong Learning, Live Your Life with Passion and Purpose. For those who would like to experience a personal renaissance, the support provided in this course could make all the difference.
