About Linda
When I was 18 years old, I experienced the typical 18 year old challenges. Luckily, a dear friend handed me a book on self-image and suggested I spend some time with it.
Little did she know that that simple act would influence the rest of my life. I went on to find whole new worlds open up to me through books. Worlds I'd neither seen nor heard of before. Worlds of possibility where people were dedicated to bringing their visions into reality and sharing them with the world.
Thus began my lifelong thirst for knowledge and my personal quest for information on living a passion-filled life. I loved to read autobiographies, finding inspiration in private and public acts of courage. My favorites were the creatives: artists, inventors, people who forged new territory in their given fields. I wondered what made these people able to reach such heights while some people were barely surviving, and in the middle, others were just trying to make it through another day.
In college, I found the perfect arena for working out my own challenges. The practice of oil painting became literally the tableau where I found courage and trust in myself, where I conquered my fears and learned to express my love. All the while, I maintained my quest to understand how it all works, this life we’ve been given.
When I discovered that someone had gone and made a career out of what I was spending most of my time on, I signed myself right up for training. Through the excellent Coaches Training Institute based in California, I completed my coursework and certification. With this training, I was given the tools I needed to be able to help people discover their own possibilities, bring their dreams to life and find a life of joy and ease. In this way, I have brought my own passion to life.
We all carry hidden treasure inside. We all have innate gifts and talents. The quality of our life is determined by the extent to which we let those gifts shine.
Isn’t it time we all mine our own diamonds?
What a wonderful world it would be.
