Power of Surrender by: Deborah Deras

Today, my sweet husband, Ennio was laid off  his job as a photo technician after twele years as a faithful employee. The first words out of his mouth when he called me up to tell me was, “I have good news for you, I am not going to work nights anymore….. I was laid off today”.

After a moment of panic my next thought was that his higher power was able to do for him what he was not able do for himself. He had wanted to change jobs for several years now however his fear of change and comfort level in the position kept him stuck. He really wanted a position with upward mobility where he could showcase his unique talents as an artist. Since the photo industry has drastically shifted from printing to digital for the past six months he was given the night shift 5pm-2am making it difficult for us to spend time together. In order to upgrade his skills he began talking classes in Adobe Photo Shop and Illustrator.

His good spirits and enthusiasm reminded me why I adore him so much. He truly practices what I preach and it is just so effortless for him to choose to see the blessing in a situation rather than stress over it. The next morning he awoke to find out someone had broken into his car in an attempt to steal his stereo right out in front of our home. This was the first time any crime had been committed in our neighborhood in years. He laughed it off and had the glass fixed later that day as it rained and poured in sunny California. Later that day we ordered lunch to go to strategize his next plan of action and when we got home his lunch was forgotten and mine was in the bag. We laughed and he just totally surrendered to the fact that this was not his week. He cheerfully smiled in a state of complete surrender knowing he would find something better. He has a job interview tomorrow which will hopefully allow him to begin a career utilizing his creative talents.

Only through the Power of Surrender can we create a life of ease and grace.

Adoley & I are both starting new Coaching Circles using the book the Power of Intention by Wayne Dyer. Get a jump start on spring and really focus on achieving your goals and creating a balanced and fulfilled life. You will learn tools to overcome: procrastination, overwhelm, sabotogue and much more.

The circles begin this Thursday, March 24th and will take place in two locations for your convenience in Playa del Rey or in Pasadena. You choose the location that works for you.

Here are some of the testimonials from past participants:

"In 8 short weeks I felt as if I had gone from being in a little dinghy to piloting an F-17!  I knew exactly where I wanted to go and how I was going to do it and every day I have been on my right path-no matter how small the actions  The Coaching Circle is one of the best things I have ever experienced in my life. I invite anyone who has a question to call or e-mail me any time."  Linda Charles

The circle propelled me into action. I became a writer again. I learned how to make promises to myself and keep them.  The circle helped me focus on my goals and provided a framework of support to pursue them. I received excellent value for my money and highly recommend the circle to anyone who needs to more forward in their life.  I am still hearing," Did you keep your promises?"   Peggy Clay

Space is limited to register call Adoley at 310-491-5315.
