So I have a bold statement to make; so bold in fact that I am slightly hesitant about voicing my opinion on the matter. When I let these words trickle off my lips I find myself covering my mouth and looking around nervously to see if anyone caught them, but oh well. It's time to come out of the closet with my beliefs. Who am I if I am not at least honest? Here we go... I think that I have one of the most important jobs in the world and I think EVERYONE should have a Career Counselor.

I mean I'm not sure how you define important, but when I look at my scale of importance my responsibilities are looking mighty heavy. Let's examine why I believe that I have one of the most important jobs in the world:

As a little girl when asked what I wanted to be when I grew up I always said a million things. I wanted to be a teacher and a doctor and a farmer and a cowgirl. My little brain did not have the capacity nor the desire to break down my dreams into separate plans called A, B, or C. I also lacked the ability or desire to see life as a linear pattern of experiences. My baby brain saw a teacher/doctor/farmer/cowgirl. There was no either or. I didn't compromise or negotiate my existence. I just knew what made me smile and decided I wanted to smile all of the time.

Who We Are

Live Well Counseling and Professional Development Services, is a specialty counseling and career development practice in the Atlanta area that focuses exclusively on therapeutic work with adults. Many of our clients are budding entrepreneurs, newly credentialed professionals and others inspired to find balance, meaning and purpose in their lives. We are looking for a highly motivated, self-starter with an interest in event planning and management.

I love what I do. I love helping people navigate the push through the stuff that keeps them from being their greatest self. My clients fall on a vast continuum. I have those who have no idea where their talents are all of the way to those who can do everything, but aren't sure what to focus on. When this clip was shared with me on Facebook it gave me goosebumps. Well said T.D. Well said!

This is my new inspiration. I am inspired by greatness, by beauty and by strength, but my love for all things chocolate and my crazy busy schedule has not allowed me to find the inspiration needed to get my body together. I've been living life in my comfort zone, married and not technically overweight, I've convinced myself that I'm "not that bad" or "at least I don't
look like that."

But all that has changed. My marriage is ending. Things are different. I have decided that ok is not enough. I am challenging myself to be more than "not that bad." It's not about weight. It's not about fat or skinny. I just want to be proud of me. I want to be great. I want to look great.
