I was as proud as a new parent, when I saw the email in my inbox. The subject line, “Big Announcement! (You will definitely want to read this)” said it all.  This past week, my client, Tim Wise, launched his new business, Fishing for the Good Life.    Photo by Priyambada Nath

This milestone was years in the making for Tim.  To get here, he slayed his Gremlins about quitting a well-paying, but soul-sucking job, sold his house to cut his largest expense in half, and tapped into his passion and grace to find the words for his website and write his brand story.

This journey is not for the faint of heart. But for the right person, like Tim, it is the path to freedom, joy, and great satisfaction.

It is also a place of light.  I have seen the transformation in not just Tim, but other clients. From being in the shadows, where frustration, anger and resentment come together, to expanding into glorious light-filled places of  thrill, happiness, and passion.

I replied to Tim’s announcement with this:

“I am so proud of the work you’ve done to claim your place in the world, Tim.  You are an inspiration to so many who badly need the light that you hold. I am honored to call you a client and a friend.”

My purpose is to hold light for others, so that they may in turn, hold light for still others.  There is nothing more sacred, or more rewarding, than holding light.

Tim’s new adventure is just starting, fueled by his vitality, shining brightly from within.  It’s a beautiful sight to see.

PS. If you want to see what happens when a brilliant star like Tim collaborates with a supernova of a web designer, check out Tim’s site, Fishing for the Good Life.  Kudos to Larah Leigh Ritchie for her fabulous work, bringing Tim’s vision to life.
