Weeks ago, I shared on social media that I was working with a life coach, Steve Hardison. Steve is the subject of a book, The Ultimate Coach, written by his wife, Amy Hardison and researched by Alan Thompson. Steve calls the book, “The Book of Being.” Steve coached me through writing a “document” as a statement of “the you at your inner core...the you that soars.” [page 248].
I think of my document as the song of my soul. In this podcast, through stories, I share what the document means to me. I share the document. I also share a document I wrote for my late husband, Jim, in the form of his eulogy. I muse that we are all living from documents, acknowledged or not. Perhaps being more intentional about them can change us and, in doing so, change the world.
