I was like you once. Stuck.
That January was a little tough. I was wrestling with what my next “thing” should be. I was caught in the winter blues. I was missing things that maybe never even existed…the big “what ifs.” Then it happened. I was driving to work on an early Wednesday morning…and by early I mean I’m driving between 5:30am and 6:15am. I was about 5 miles away from my office, on a two lane windy, hilly road. Over the hill in front of me were two headlights in the other lane. And all of a sudden, there were four. I remember actually blinking my eyes and shaking my head like you see in cartoons to try to get my vision right again. It wasn’t my vision that was the problem. Someone chose to pass a van, on a two lane road, on a hill and a blind curve. He was coming right at me and was right in front of me. I SAW….I’m not even kidding…. I SAW the headlights go Right. Thru. Me. There was no time to react. It happened that fast. That pickup truck didn’t hit me. I’m telling you the ONLY explanation is that God intervened. I got chills as I wrote that. God saved me again that day. As I continued my drive, my heart was not pounding, my hands were not shaking. I simply continued on my way. Like I was watching a freaking movie. When I parked in the station lot a few minutes later, my legs were barely strong enough to hold me up when I got out of the car. The reality that I should have been killed in a horrific car accident but instead, the oncoming pickup truck passed right through me was too much. Then a phrase that had come up so many times between me and my pastor and friend, Richard Gay, exploded in my head: “This is not about YOU.” The “this” in that sentence had meant different things through my life, but now it was clear: “This — LIFE — is not about ME.” I connected millions of dots in that moment. I thought about all the times in my life that someone else had lived by that sentence that had been in my head and chose…CHOSE to teach ME, sacrifice for ME, lead ME. They chose ME. They knew it wasn’t about them. And now I finally know it’s not about me. My next move was clearer. To be a coach, to be a mentor, to stop being so selfish and share what life has taught me in the conventional and unconventional sense. God told me that day in January that he still had work for me to do and I better start paying attention. I’m sure he tapped me on the shoulder many, many times before that day, but I wasn’t listening. He had to do something to make sure I didn’t miss it this time. I can still see those headlights going right through me. I won’t ever forget them. Stick with me on this journey. I’m going to tap on more than a few shoulders to hopefully help, inspire and teach people what they need to learn so that no one has to be woken up by headlights passing right through them. |

Deborah Adams:
Robin has an intuitive way of meeting you where you are at, is your biggest supporter and designs her sessions and assignments to help you to identify and recognize the power of your own thoughts and actions. In just 6 weeks, I have noticed a big shift in my own thinking, and am feeling more positive and confident about my own future and what I believe I can achieve in my own life. I would highly and most definitely recommend having Robin as a life coach and I would say to anyone who is unsure, to look at it as a valuable investment in becoming the best version of yourself. |
Amanda: Robin is simply amazing! She helped me get unstuck and have the confidence I needed to push to my goal. Thank you Robin! Nadine:
I just want to thank you for your time and for what you do. You have already inspired me greatly! |
Wandalynn: I’ve been a mentor and a mentee but having a life coach is on a different level. Robin is helping me through life and actually doing life with me. The first exercise we did made me see things I was doing in a new light. And set a new fire within me. My purpose is clear and my calling has been clarified. God placed Robin in my life when I was at a crossroad and completed a task that only she could. I am very grateful for your friendship and guidance. Whenever you second guess yourself; remember how we met and why??? It’s in the “why” that you need to keep going!!! God Bless |
