Executive Coach and Life Coach partnering with clients to achieve their goals and fulfill their potential. Let’s have a conversation.
I know this is LinkedIn but bear with me. People that know me know two things about me. First, I am not a naturally patient person. Second, my children are my oxygen and this little lady is all that and more. This is a lesson about patience and perseverance. Four years ago we started the process to adopt Grace but then in the midst of that the pandemic hit and everything ground to a halt. We picked it up again three years ago and the mountain of paperwork grew as the Thai authorities kept coming up with new requirements - at one stage they even claimed to have lost our papers. We had to redo interviews with the authorities because of their mistakes. Although Grace has been with us since she was born we had to wait six months at the end of the process so she could “settle in”… And then on Wednesday we got the official letter and yesterday (at the second attempt), our adoption was signed and witnessed. I am so very proud to introduce to the world Miss Chanakarn Graham - Grace. What this taught me is that if you have a goal and you own that goal with all your being then nothing can stop you. You can pass through difficult parts of the journey and climb any obstacles. I wish I could share this as a video clip but even writing this my emotions are overflowing. So, take your goal, own it with all your being and march hard and far. Your oxygen is with you all the way.
So incredibly happy for you mate!!
