How My Garden Surprises Me

Over the years, I’ve had some unusual experiences with my seeds of possibility.
Some of my seeds have popped up a very long time after I’ve planted them. For instance, I sent a resume to a company and didn’t hear back from them for three years!  Then they contacted me to interview for an entirely different job (which I ended up getting).

Another time a woman kept picking up my fliers over a 2-year period, thinking that she wanted to attend a workshop, but never did.  Until one day her best friend handed her a flier and said she was going to attend the event.  They both became Coaching Clients.
One woman received my E-Newsletter for 4 1/2 years and then hired me to coach her son.

Other seeds have popped up in unexpected ways.
A woman from Ireland found my website and became a coaching client when she moved to Long Beach. 
Also, I've been called to do Speaking Engagements because someone found my Coaching Business Card. And I’ve been engaged as a Coach because someone found a Workshop Flyer.
Once I was at Jury Duty and was talking about my Coaching services and the gentleman next to me overheard the conversation and hired me as his coach.
I am very grateful that my gardening efforts reward me with beautiful flowers, whenever and however they show up!
I hope this encourages to get out there and start sewing more seeds!
