Care Packages🤲🏽

You know when someone who loves you sends you a parcel with a bunch of goodies in it? I’m endeared to the care package (in whatever form it comes) as a way of making, way of caring, way of sharing. There’s no shortage of possibility as to how a care package presents, what it contains, what assortments are collected, how it’s delivered, how it’s received, and what it might mean to it’s recipients.

I value that this orientation toward making and giving can bring together items that you don’t always see together. You’re simply giving what’s needed and what might land as care. I like when a care package is a sweet collection of some practical stuffs and also things for pure enjoyment (maybe highlighting the functionality of joy and pleasure to our survival); a mix of things you can use in the long run plus some things to use right now. A box containing socks, a nice notebook, some chocolate, a bag of rice.

I like both mail and creating with the intention to give, so the Care Package holds a place in my heart. I send the people on my list a weekly (email) Care Package 🤲🏽. I write them with the intention of both holding space for all the positive possibility that you radiate, and to be of real tangible use. Ideas that you can grab onto, that make a difference in your life.

I created the Care Package Archive to collect these packages all in one place. Sign up if ya wanna receive em straight to your inbox.

CARE PACKAGE 8 🤲🏽 Imagine You Had 1 Irreplaceable & Undeniably Valuable Asset- What Do You Do With It?

Imagine you had 1 irreplaceable and undeniably valuable asset- what do you do with it?

Before you read further- I want to share these two perspectives because they are essential to everything I do and am. Also, because this way of thinking about coaching and self-investing has completely changed my life for the better. If it can have even a small percentage of the positive impact on your life as it has on mine, then it’s my responsibility to share.

What is coaching? For me, it’s an iteration of facilitating.

Facilitation is the word I’ve found most suitable to encompass the various ways of assisting another’s development (teaching, training, coaching, etc.), all of which I am equally enthusiastic about. The simple idea is that you are going in a direction and the facilitator can help make it easier or possible.

Being a dedicated lifelong learner and driver of my own development (do you value learning and improving too?), I think the structures of facilitation that we as humans have identified and built upon are A BEAUTIFUL THING. Facilitation is an ode to progress and efficiency that highlights a lot of really great things about being human. Facilitation’s various forms are structures for development and they’ve existed long before you and me.

I feel a deep reverence for the pursuit of betterment that facilitation supports. For that reason I’m a big fan of both sides, being coach and being coached.

I value coaching and appreciating others’ expertise so much that in the past couple of years I’ve confidently invested more on coaching and learning than I spent on rent. 

Yep. While this may sound shocking… it’s not, or rather, shouldn’t be. Self-investing is a subject that deserves to be reframed.

Say you have one irreplaceable and undeniably valuable asset that happens to take really well to nurturing; an asset that you have evidence of bursting with growth under the right conditions; and that, alone, has the capacity to exponentially multiply your resources, your capacity, your fulfillment, your happiness, etc.; as well, this asset influences every aspect of your life, your environments, relationships, communities, and what’s possible for your family for generations to come.

Say you had that kind of asset and a handful of other costs. What would you make sure to keep in good condition and allocate the most resources to? You’d care for and invest in that irreplaceable and undeniably valuable asset that grows exponentially and is generationally impactful, right?

Well that asset is you. That’s how I think of myself, why I value investing in myself, and why what I do and offer is an investment in you as your own most valuable asset.

YOU are an irreplaceable and undeniably valuable asset; YOU take really well to nurturing; YOU burst with growth under the right conditions; YOU alone have the capacity to exponentially multiply your resources, your capacity, your fulfillment, your happiness, etc.; And what YOU put into YOURSELF influences every aspect of your life, your environments, relationships, communities, and what’s possible for your family for generations to come.

I have learned to think of what I pay for in terms of investment. In my perspective and experience, coaching has been the single most impactful category of investment with an ROI (return on investment) that repeatedly justifies even those investments that I may have been initially nervous to make… Why? Because coaching is a self- investment, an allocation of resources to the irreplaceable undeniably valuable asset that is me (or you!).

Are you beginning to see yourself as a valuable asset? Are you beginning to see yourself as a worthy source of investment? I’m curious to know! :)

I recognize that this will likely only land with people who can see themselves as makers/creators who have a daring imagination to wonder beyond what has yet been experienced. That’s ok because that spirit is a sort of necessary prerequisite for working with me. The people who do really well with my coaching are already creative. They just tend to be under-nurtured, a tad scattered, and in a habit of struggling (is this you?). 

The structure of facilitation: You come as you are, creative and imaginative. I’ll provide the nurturing strategies and game plan specifics in the form of home and body fortification and top-shelf coaching: home organization, individualized personal training, creative spiritual alignment, habit honing, and prosperity consciousness.

Have a beautiful day!!!

Reflecting your own intuitive directionality,

Loretta
