My Phenomenal Coach...

... can be yours, too.

I'm getting coaching by a phenomenal human being: Khotan Shahbazi-Harmon here in Austin, TX. We meet on Friday afternoons at a tea house in The Domain called The Sipping Room (I recommend this, too). 

If you are in need of getting clear; reorganizing your life; in the middle of a career change, or simply open and ready for a shift, spend some time with Khotan. She is insightful, intuitive, and has a knack for knowing just what you need. As she says whenever I just can't believe that she knows that: "It's my job to know". Khotan askes me compelling questions (more are coming, I know!) and my perspective on my life and what I am capable of have radically shifted. 

Listen to Khotan's podcasts on her website khotanharmon.com. On it are her interviews with some of the most amazing and innovative people, creatives and leaders of our time.

Enjoy!

Coincidences

I've been having them almost every day for the past several days.

For example, as I was driving the kids to school yesterday, Lesedi and Tumelo laughed at me for not knowing that Bat Man was not a "real super hero" because he relied on gadgets; mechanical, man-made things for his "powers".

On the other hand, The Green Lantern stumbled upon a ring, and that's where he got his (they are real) because the ring has mystical powers. We had a long conversation about the distinctions between gadgets and real powers that came from mystical objects, events, or inheritance.

Later in the day, I woke up from a nap wondering where was my coincidence for the day (yes, they had become that regular). I sat next to Michael at the dining table. He got up, stood behind me, and then put a necklace of mine around my neck: "Here, I give you your super powers." he said.

A few minutes later, he asked me if I could guess who had a baby girl: Green Tara (she's a musician from Canada Michael has played with). "Wow! Has it been that long since we saw her last? That's great. We ought to tell her 'Welcome to the Real World.'" I said. Michael gave me a strange look and said, "I already sent her an email saying "welcome to the real world".

I ask you: does this type of thing happen to you? If so - how often... and what?
