Me and My Shadow

As I wrapped up another blog entry for “My IV”, I received a call from a friend that couldn’t understand why I put my personal past for everyone to read and analyze on this site.  She went on to say that my dark, shadowed past life lessons could be seen as weak, flawed situations that I have yet to resolve.  She wondered would that help or hurt my recently launched life coaching practice.

The question and critique took me by surprise and I had to step back and look at the big picture of life to understand why I was really doing this.

What I learned is that I am becoming a life coach that can no longer be scared by his shadowy past no matter how much light shines on my life.  I’ve learned not to allow my shadowy past to haunt me or pull me down.  My shadow is there to hold me up and push me forward.  It is only when I’ve learned to embrace who I am, that I can fully honor who I am becoming.
