The Morgenbesser Famiily

I am always so proud to be part of my mother's family. They are loving, funny, generous and really caring people.

On Friday, my Uncle Carl, passed away. Carl was one of my mother's brothers.

Carl was our single Uncle who always played with the kids, took us to Coney Island and to the Seaquarium and created picnics on the floor of my Grandmother's house with blankets and snacks!

He was loving and fun.

Carl was single and lived with my Grandmother.

When my Grandmother passed, she asked her other children to promise to care for Carl and they all did right up until his death.

My mother, when she was alive, made mounds of chicken, and veal, and pasta and drove from NJ to Brooklyn, NY to carry these heavy trays of food to him. My Aunt and Uncle went to visit him on a regular basis and cared for him during the past few years when he was put in a nursing home.

Sadly, he was badly depressed and had been on the wrong medication for many, many, many years. His happiest years hae been in the nursing home:(

He loved the nurses and had a "girlfriend" there and the nurses really took stellar care of him and cared for him with love.

The funeral was Sunday and my Uncle was buried next to my Mother - just as she planned and purchased him a plot soooooooooooooo many years before her death in 1996.

I grieved for the loss of my Uncle and the loss of so many Morgenbesser's over the years... my Grandparent's, my Aunt Fran and Uncle's Ralph and Seymour and also felt sadness that our family was shrinking. Of course, I also missed my Mom, dearly.

Later, at the home of one of my cousins, where we all gathered to share memories and laughter and get some food in our bodies... we laughed, we hugged, we told our stories about Uncle Carl and the other Morgenbesser's transitioned. I felt connected, and honored to be a Morgenbesser!

Today, as I feeeeeeeeeeeeeeel about yesterday, I realize it is more about having a family that is connected and supportive than it is about loss.

Building a Coaching Practice While Working a Day Job

There are many steps to building a practice while maintaining a day job. People transitioning into coaching take these steps at different rates. Some do it in a few months and others may choose to take a year. There is no "right" timetable; there is only the timetable that is right for you. Do not judge yourself if you see others moving toward a full practice faster than you. You will move when you are ready.

When you enter the world of coach training you have entered a wonderful, elating, challenging place that is filled with a continuum of emotions. Don't panic and run:) The reward at the end is worth the work. You will have a job that truly satisfies you. You will be making your own hours. You will be interacting with clients who have energy, dedication and big plans. You will get to tap into the very best of yourself every day. You will have a serene and simple life that is easy to live. And most importantly, you will be happy.
