23-06-2012 14:33 July 26th. I will be share my soul and my soul holes. Its my hearts desire that you travel with me.Why? The best example is to be an example. In order to change, one must be able and willing to trust to then be able to get vulnerable; which will then open the doors to ones ground zero, and then and only then are we able to scaffold meaning change, and a life on fire! If I ask my clients, then I must lead and show them the way. Many stubble to change because they assume that those that have, have at it easy, and therefore they cannot because they feel isolated, alone, and giving up the hope in self to change. Here via this shoot, I will be unplugging and I will share my soul and my soul holes to bridge this gap to these others, so they too can see the truth which is that we are more the same than different, that I too have had difficult pain, yet I choose to destroy find and create fire in my life; a life that I now fully extend to help other too do the same. Please join me, as this will be difficult, but from difficult comes growth and reward. I cannot imagine a greater reward than if others too were inspired to action; the kind of action that changes a bruise into a blue sky, and their eyes become on fire with a love of self, and a love of their new joyous enriched fulfilled life!

A photoshoot like non other! 3 Photographers must capture life coach, Renee Willis, Soul UNPLUGGED. - Video

He's starting over. At age 61.

But Greg Davis' motor is running as fast as it did when he first took an assistant coaching job at Barbe High School in Louisiana in 1973. He's still among the first to arrive at the office every morning after a quick, 14-mile drive from his new home. His voice rises when he discusses the potential of his fifth-year senior at quarterback, whom he regards as a "bigger Major Applewhite."

Actually he's starting up where he abruptly left off a year and a half ago, after 38 seasons of coaching.

Davis who was a polarizing figure as Mack Brown's offensive coordinator for 13 years, through the 2010 season has returned to college football, where he belongs, even though he has changed jobs, donated many of his burnt orange clothes to neighbors and moved to a place so cold that his school played its spring game a year ago on a field covered by snow.

Texas fans no longer have Greg Davis to kick around. The Iowa Hawkeyes can do that if they like when he starts calling plays in the Big Ten and lining up what has been perceived as a stodgy Iowa offense in an empty backfield and working his no-huddle magic.

Davis is back home in a football environment even though he's a thousand-plus miles from Austin. But he's content with his station in life, an invigorated, transplanted Texan who quickly shook off the disappointment of his firing after a highly successful run with the Longhorns punctuated by one really horrific season at the end.

For a year, he considered other offers, taught clinics for Auburn's Gene Chizik and Florida's Will Muschamp and talked with the Houston Texans' Gary Kubiak about a position but decided to spend most of his time with his wife, Patsy, and their three grandchildren in the Dallas area.

Finally, in February, he accepted a new job for the first time since he arrived in Austin with Brown from North Carolina in 1998. Iowa's Kirk Ferentz had listened to sales pitches on Davis' behalf from Ferentz's previous offensive coordinator, Ken O'Keefe, and the Miami Dolphins' new head coach, Joe Philbin, who was a graduate assistant under Davis at Tulane. Philbin also discussed hiring Davis before adding Mike Sherman and O'Keefe to his Dolphins staff.

But Davis is happy where he is. Life goes on.

Surely he was angry and bitter when he was forced out at Texas?

WorldsBIGGESTGym Life Coach Training Course - Video

Friends, fellow coaches and former players yesterday remembered Hockey Hall of Fame defenseman Fernie Flaman as epitomizing the term gentleman. A former Bruins [team stats] captain who won a Stanley Cup with Toronto in 1951, Flaman was a longtime coach at Northeastern University, where he spent 19 seasons. He died Friday night at 85.

A native of Dysart, Saskatchewan, Flaman guided Northeastern to all four of its Beanpot title wins (1980, 84, 85 and 88).

Retired Northeastern sports information director Jack Grinold, who attended and chronicled virtually every sporting event for the college for more than 50 years, knew Flaman as well as anyone in the Northeastern community.

As we are all aware, he was one of the toughest defensemen ever to play hockey, Grinold said. But, as a man of winter, he always had summer in his heart. He was one of the warmest, kindest guys you could ever run into.

Boston University coach Jack Parker and his teams crossed sticks with Flaman and Northeastern for 19 straight years at a time when the four Beanpot coaches (Parker, Flaman, Len Ceglarski of Boston College and Billy Cleary of Harvard) were a constant. He recalled his friendly rival warmly.

Ill never forget when I first got to know him when I was an assistant at BU, I was amazed that this is Fernie Flaman the cop of the Bruins, the tough guy defenseman because it couldnt match what a quiet guy, an unassuming guy, he was, Parker said. His pro demeanor on the ice belied his off-the-ice persona. He was an absolutely fabulous guy. The best way to describe Fernie was that he had a heart of gold. I had many, many meetings with Fernie and been to many social gatherings with him and he was just a classy, classy guy.

Current Northeastern coach Jim Madigan had the privilege of both playing for and later serving as an assistant to Flaman.

As a player, he always treated you as a gentleman, Madigan said. Coming from the pros, he treated us like men. He gave us some leeway and latitude, but there was mutual respect there so you knew not to push the envelope or youd be punished. He really created a family environment within the program. He and Don (McKenney, his assistant) were certainly interchangeable. They taught us to become good players as well as be good men, good husbands and good fathers. He wanted us to graduate and be good ambassadors for the university.

Hockey East commissioner Joe Bertagna, whose playing career at Harvard University overlapped Fermans coaching days at Northeastern, got to know Flaman when Bertagna was a youngster.

My father was in the construction business and was asked to do some work on a 60-lane bowling alley in Beverly called Go Go Bowling. The owners were Fernie Flaman and Pete Daley, a former Red Sox [team stats] catcher, Bertagna said. I was really young, but I remember the paintings in the lobby of Fernie in his Bruins uniform.

Whether it is a crack of the bat, the swish of the net or a spiraling football caught in a players grip, Bill Brumsey is on the sidelines helping Currituck youth gain and maintain an appreciation for sports.

For the past four years Brumsey has served as a Currituck County Parks and Recreation coach and team sponsor.

The Parks and Recreation is very important to the county, said Brumsey, who is currently coaching a T-ball team. The number of sports that are offered has greatly expanded.

As the seasons change, Brumsey is also a dedicated football and basketball coach. He began coaching when his children, who are 9, 7 and 6 years old, became involved in sports.

The Currituck native said he grew up participating in sports sponsored by the Currituck Athletic Association, and he also played sports in junior and high school. Sports help promote sportsmanship and teamwork, according to Brumsey.

Brumsey said all of his coaches including his father set standards that he continues to follow as a coach today.

You will have fun, said Brumsey, if you play hard and listen to what your coaches are telling you.

We are going to give 100 percent, Brumsey tells his players.

Brumsey keeps his players involved and engaged on the T-ball field by giving them an opportunity to play all the positions. Observing the growth of skill level by the end of the season is one of the best aspects of being a coach, said Brumsey.

Try and do your very best, the coach emphasizes to his players.

Stephen Headley pleaded guilty June 5 to the murder of 22-year-old Nicole Ayres. But even though prosecutors plan to ask for life imprisonment at his sentencing Aug. 3, Headley could be sentenced to 30 years in prison.

This, says Ayres cousin Kellie Lando, is not enough.

Not at all, she said.

Now, Lando and her family are petitioning the state government to sentence Headley to life in prison.

Headley was finishing five years of probation for endangering the welfare of a child when he stabbed Ayres to death in September 2010 after an argument in her car at a municipal soccer field in Southampton Township.

Ayres had been a high school softball star in her hometown of Deptford, and had continued her athletic career at Fordham University before transferring to Rugters-Camden. She also traveled the country playing for nationally-ranked softball teams in addition to coaching softball in Medford. Her father, Richard Ayres, was straightforward in his appraisal of her abilities.

She dominated, he said simply.

He felt the community had been robbed by his daughters death, and felt cheated by the possibility of such a lenient sentence, which his family considers a failure of the criminal justice system.

Its unbelievable. Its basically saying my daughters life is worth only 30 years, he said.

The family hopes that the petition, which has collected more than 3,000 signatures so far, will send a message advocating for tougher sentencing policies, even if it will not help Ayres.

Find a life coach - Video

I once had a preconceived impression of life coaching as a New Age concept, so I was quite surprised to discover that I knew a life coach. I have worked with Barbara Marchand on any number of projects that involved such decidedly down-to-earth organizations as the Rotary Club, the Chamber of Commerce and the Alameda Welfare Council.

I have always known Barbara as level-headed, practical and honest. When she asked me if I would be interested in trying some coaching, I had to re-evaluate my whole idea of it.

When I first started talking with Barbara about this, I had just learned that my mother-in-law had been diagnosed with Alzheimer's. The family was in the process of sorting out her living arrangements, medical care and financial situation, all the while grieving the future loss of a vibrant and brilliant woman. Because my mother-in-law had always been fiercely independent and (justifiably) proud, this turn of events completely sideswiped us.

I was unfamiliar with the process involved with consulting a life coach, I wasn't sure whether what I was going through was even an appropriate direction to pursue. My understanding of what I would address during the coaching process would be to try to organize my time and resources, or to try to get in the routine of regular exercise or eating right. How would those principles apply to processing the painful, frightening truth of what we were going through?

I have plenty of sympathetic ears and shoulders because we are by no stretch of the imagination the only people going through the ageing process with our parents. I consider myself to be extremely fortunate to have a support network to help with the unfamiliar emotional terrain.

I am discovering, however, that there are actually very practical, organizational facets to this process. For example, I was trying to determine what government programs might be available to my mother-in-law.

I discovered on the Internet that there are any number of government programs, but the qualifications for each of these programs differ in infinitesimal ways. I found the language on these site deceptive and unwieldy.

Before long I felt as if I would never make progress on this relatively small project I had been assigned, much like being the poor sap that catches the ball in the middle of the game, with no idea of what the rules are or what team I'm on.

Like any team coach, Barbara is not on the playing field. She is able to watch the "game" from a distance, and see the directions available to me. With a gentle nudge, she points out what she can see, and then the obstacles fade away. It might be a simple suggestion to call an organization to ask for help, or it might be a way to sort out the information that I have to be able to make heads or tails of it.

One of the most important tools that Barbara has given me is to write things down. I should I say she has reminded me that I already have this tool. This might involve a writing note about a conversation with a medical professional, or jotting down a question that has come up that I need to find the right person to ask. It might mean simply writing down the way I feel at any given time about the process.
