In the beginning


Welcome everyone! Thanks for joining me on this amazing journey.

This is hopefully going to be the best place to keep up with all that is going on with Ready... Set... Bloom! I will bring you up to speed here and please please please feel free to leave me comments, concerns, ask questions etc. I will be happy to reply as best as I am able. I also promise to take your comments and seriously consider them. One thing I am committed to with the start of this ministry is to be open to God's leading. so I promise to give serious thought and prayer on all suggestions.

Where I am now... I have chosen, along with the help of my awesome friend Sue the name for the ministry as Ready... Set... Bloom! I have checked the State of Florida Database and this name is available. So I just need to file the necessary forms and I am on my way. I am initially setting this up as a DBA. This will most likely change but for now this should be sufficient. (and a whole lot less expensive!)

I am enrolled in Level One training at Life Purpose Coaching Centers Intl. With the completing of this program within the next few weeks I expect to finalize all the requirements and become a certified life purpose coach! I am praying about and ask you to join me in prayer about moving forward to level 2 and possibly level 3 training. I believe that this would be beneficial. I am not sure however if God feels it would be necessary. So please join me in prayer about God's will in this area. I also do not have the finances available to cover the training costs so if God wants me to move forward that would also be something I would need Him to provide for.

I am working on the marketing materials now and have put out some feelers to have a logo created and a web site as well. This is going to be necessary for many reasons and needs to be completed prior to any printed materials even business cards are done. The content and types of materials I am able to create, so that is the part I am working on.

For the start up I will be running things from my home. Initially using my home office to conduct coaching sessions. I do hope to in the future finish off the "garage space" to allow for actual group sessions or "classes" This would require some modification to complete. And I would also need to consider as well the fact that Shawn has pretty much made this his own space. except when his sister is visiting and then he looses all rights as she takes over! LOL So this may be awhile down the road.

Well that is all for now. I know that these few paragraphs do not seem like much, however with my current schedule and with the training in full swing and lots of homework... well all in God's timing. I am trying very hard to walk that fine line of not getting ahead of God and not dragging my feet. So that would be my final prayer request is that I walk this journey in God's timing and not my own.

Love ya all!
