Joshua: If I can find a coach that can help me stick to it and realize my lifetime dream (even though I am 65!!!) of finishing my education, I am ready to make a commitment. In the past, I quit in order to serve the needs of everyone else. I just do not think I am strong enough to put my needs in front of my husband’s and my children/grandchildren’s. The lack of education and a degree haunt me every day in the lifestyle I live in and professional people I am surrounded by. I would like a degree in journalism. More even with my own husband, whom I feel would listen to me better and respect me more If I could have the necessary communication tools to express in a more intelligent dialogue and have something worthwhile to talk about besides what he wants for dinner. I am in a position to pay a coach, I just do not know how to find one. I think lots of women my age who had the tables turned on them in middle age are in the same boat. When we came through, someone changed the rules. Instead of it being enough to be a mother and grandmother, now we were expected to also be educated. It is so incredibly hard for those of us that are pure nurtures to put a limit on “their” needs to fulfill our own needs that are outside of the family. Can you help?? You made me feel so much better when we had the phone appointment and you are my hope. I do not expect your time to be given freely. Not having a college education (outside a few classes here and there through the years), makes me feel inferior intellectually and personally.
Thank you.
