She meant, "I interrupt you while you are working," and she does. But somehow I manage.

I don't really experience writer's block. I research a project to write something interesting and hopefully original and the writing flows from the research. I write down my initial thoughts and then, during the editing process, the idea becomes clearer with each editing pass.(less)

One of my greatest thrills is coaching jobseekers who are on the verge of giving up, and then giving them a real hope by reconnecting them with who they really are. After multiple job interviewing failures a jobseeker can begin to feel like they are a loser, a burden, a problem seeking a solution. I convince them that they are solutions to a hiring authority's problems. Then I watch them grow in confidence until they finally land a job that might end months of anxiety. They are so thrilled and their feeling of joy is felt by me and is my most satisfying payment.

My book on job search, The Path to Job Search Success, is enabling me to help those who are struggling with this difficult job search process, and who I cannot meet with personally. It extends my coaching reach. I am just now starting to market this book and I hope it will generate many positive reviews from people who have read the material, applied the lessons they've learned and have received great job offers as a result.(less)

“When we appear to be “more a loser than a victor” on the Path it is easy to lose sight of the fact that we are growing spiritually.”
Tom Payne, A Guide to God's Perplexing Path

“God can communicate to us through powerful feelings. They have an energy that impels us to action. They grip our mind and will not let us go.

What is calling you? What has the voice of God been whispering to you through the desires of your heart? To what are you drawn and constantly compelled to do? It could be that God is opening the eyes of your heart to see something that no one else is seeing, and to do something that others aren’t doing. If that is true, then move forward and let God worry about the how.”
Tom Payne, A Guide to God's Perplexing Path
