“Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive and do that, because what the world needs is people who have come alive.”–Howard Thurman. You are meant to shine , and I love helping people bring their light to the world in ways that bring them joy and meaning. I am a writer, speaker, artist, and seeker. Bio here. When I’m not writing or painting, a joy for me is hosting workshops and retreats, from walks on the Camino de Santiago to painting workshops in England and around the world. Click Travels with Frances > Workshops above, or any other tab that piques your interest.  Right now… I’m writing my next chapter, literally and figuratively,  in the Cotswolds, New York City, and wherever the wind blows me, see News & Notes and Instagram. What I’m learning is that it’s never too late to begin again.

what is your path?

You are welcome to contact me  for a free coaching consult (I’m a certified, Martha Beck-trained master life coach)  or to chat about our workshop and retreats. If you are lost, stuck, or merely searching for something to bring deeper meaning or true direction to your life, we can work together to find your answers  by recognizing and releasing old patterns and beliefs that no longer serve you. The workshops and retreats are about travel and fun with like-minded spirits, learning new skills, and gaining new insights.  Subscribe here to my highly sporadic newsletter to learn what’s on offer. Meanwhile, trust that wherever you are on your path is where you are supposed to be. You’re right on time. And guess what: Who you really want to be, is who you really arc.

Life Coaching

 

Life Coaching

Are you aligned with your true self? Living and working in the direction of your highest good? Is there an area of your life you’d like to improve or gain insight into? Or do you have a vague feeling that you are somehow missing your mark? That there is more meant for you? Or is there too much in your life and you’d like to simplify, clarify, and come into alignment with your essential and true self? Beginning with your personal environment is a favorite “way in” for many of my clients, but it is just one of many ways to gain practical yet powerful insight into what makes you who you are and how to get to who you want to be. Setting your intention is the first step. You don’t need to find the way, just a way. Read more about wayfinding and life coaching here, or Email me here for a complimentary 30-minute consultation via phone or Zoom. It’s fun and it’s free.

Painting is such a treat for me. I work mostly in oil and watercolor, and I do sell my work. Follow my journey Around the World in 80 Paintings , and you can see more of my work here and occasionally on my Instagram. I also host workshops and painting courses taught by highly respected professionals.
