I've been reflecting. I think "life coach" isn't quite the right term; it's more like a "task coach." A support you hire when you need to get some really specific stuff done and you're ready to do it. Life is a mysterious complicated thing. Organic growth is not linear or clear; it makes surprising jumps.
Living with my goals over 24 hours, I can feel which ones are rock-solid and which ones are not. The solid ones are all about stewardship and immediacy: Body, Money, Cleaning, & Theatre -- but the short-term, already committed theatre, of Bart/Akropolis/teaching. Those I know I want to and am going to do.
I think it boils down to, I'm as jazzed as ever about having a Life Coach. It's a very honed tool that will do wonders to get some of my big things achieved -- big things where I have been stuck. It's like a lever. But -- for me, anyway -- it's not the right tool for every situation, or every life goal. I also need to allow room for the forest to tangle and grow, for things to go sideways.
Ahhh, sweet paradox. This feels right.

It's one of the Four Agreements: Be Impeccable with Your Word. To yourself and to others. I recommend that book highly.
