On Monday December 8th the 18 minutes
personal business coaching began as normal…
I asked my new coaching client to describe her background
experience so I would know where to begin…
I expected to hear about how she had tried
various work-at-home businesses,
multi-level marketing, or Internet marketing…
But, what she told me turned out to be
a story of fame, travel, travesty, sorrow, loss,
faith, forgiveness, and spiritual awakening…
Ruth Nichols has lived through some of
the worst nightmares life has to offer…
Whereas, most would respond with
bitterness, and a broken soul,
Ruth Ann Nichols’ response is forgiveness,
love, and spiritual wholeness
to a degree we all aspire to…
December 8th would have been
her daughter’s 14th birthday…
Two and a half years ago, on May 3rd,
young Esther Ruth died in a tragic car accident when
a drunk driver crossed the line…
Ruth Ann Latchison-Nichols suffered multiple injuries
and was in a coma for 30 days…
Our 18 minute coaching session
turned into a two hour plus open heart session…
Co-incidently on May 3rd of this year, exactly 2 years after
Evangelist Ruth Ann Latchison-Nichols lost her daughter,
my son Nicholas died in a head on motorcycle accident…
As I talked with Sister Ruth Ann,
it was amazing the similarities in our spiritual thinking and
coincidences that we ended up talking about in
this “FREE 18 Minutes Personal Business Coaching Session“…
Boy, it sure would have sounded that we were off topic!
But, it was the most important topic that I can imagine…
This website would never have happened otherwise…
And, we can talk about the website…
But, first on a lighter note…
Here are two kindred spirits from
very different backgrounds….
Sister Ruth Ann and I laughed about
the contrasting outer worlds we live in…
In St. Louis nobody sits still when
Gospel singer Sister Ruth Ann sings…
She’s been called Baby Mahalia when she was performing on stage
because she sounds just like her Mahalia Jackson…
Here in New England you’ll rarely catch a toe tapping on the frozen ground
where Emerson and Thoreau walked and taught…
We laughed at those differences like the dancing shadows that fool the eyes…
And we rejoice in knowing that the kingdom of heaven is amongst us
where ever we are, where ever we have been, what ever our past…
We just need to awaken to it now…
Not tomorrow…
Now…
It is my joy to help Sister Ruth Ann with this website
so she can share her story and more importantly
how you can become spiritually whole.
