"As I navigated through a collective of major life-changes of my own design, my good friends were my "cheerleaders" who offered encouragement and support for my decisions. My Life Coach, was an objective listener/observer who provided me with strategies to discover my own answers and make effective choices that made my process more manageable.  The agenda was mine, and she guided me through it, asking the right questions and empowering me to transform my dreams into reality.  -Corliss Chastain

"Coaching has really worked wonders for me! I have learned so many great strategies and tools...which continue to help me to clearly perceive, decide, and move forward...with new confidence. For me coaching has been a tremendously effective and empowering experience! My coach is awesome!"

"I want to thank you for the opportunity to participate in “life coaching!” It was a wonderful experience. I found it to be thought provoking, insightful, & fun. Paraphrasing what Parker Palmer says, “Learning to live the life that wants to live in me.” I appreciate your time, commitment, willingness to listen & provide feedback. I know now, my journey is only beginning! Thank you for helping me find the courage in my process of renewal." -Melissa King

Lauren's Journey

Lauren Gurney was given a Journeys for Women grant in 2006 to travel out West. Below is her account of the journey she took.

I have been on a life-changing journey since February 2006, although my literal journey to Nevada didn't take place until October. In the meantime, on two online forums, I had shared jokes, life stories and experiences, tears, hopes, and love with thousands of people from around the world who began journeys of their own due to the same impetus, a little movie called Brokeback Mountain. I have questioned and re-examined long-held beliefs, both political and religious. I have glimpsed the future that I was heading toward and, deciding that it was not what I wanted, have begun to make the adjustments in my course that will take me to a different place that I find much more appealing.

The cost of my trip was very small because I was visiting a friend, and the amount of money I received from Journeys for Women was not huge, but the meaning behind it was and that was of the greatest importance to me. Once I had decided to make the trip to Nevada I also decided that I wanted to come home with a ring, something that I would wear all the time that would remind me of my friend, our road trip, and my journey. I found what I was looking for in the little Mormon town of Kanob, Utah, and it serves as a daily reminder of all that is happening in my life, just as I had hoped that it would. I had pretty much planned to spend the Journeys money on the ring, but I actually came home with cash in my pocket that almost exactly equaled the Journeys for Women contribution.

I left the money sitting in my desk drawer assuming that at some point I would see a clear use for it that would fit in with everything else that has happened. This morning that connection became clear to me.

A young Christian woman who was a friend of my son's when they were both very young had written to me several weeks previously to tell me that she is one of a group from her church who is trying to raise the money to pay her way to Misungwi, Tanzania, to assist in the building of an orphanage dormitory.

I decided to pass my Journeys for Women money on to her to help her on her own journey of volunteerism and personal growth, seeing in my action a possible ripple effect that has the potential to change lives in another part of our world. (I received a message in a Christmas card from her family that the plane tickets have been purchased. She's on her way!)
