What Is My 'Coda' ?

Definition: *Coda: A tail; a repeated phrase; or a flourish at the end of a musical composition. (Definition combined from multiple sources.)

This is my Coda: an American Boxer and my working psychotherapy dog. I named her Coda as a tongue-in-cheek reminder to myself that my work as a psychotherapist would be a ‘flourish at the end of my multi-career life'. Coda* means: a repeated phrase, or flourish at the end of a musical piece. So the term Coda* identified my last career as a Psychologist, prior to retirement, or so I thought. 

At a time, when  most people start thinking about retirement, I began my career as a Licensed Psychologist Master, in private practice. (my 1st *Coda). Next, I developed a group practice: "Coda Grove: Center for Emotional and Relationship Well Being".  (my 2nd *Coda). I enjoy my work and I do not plan to retire any time soon. However, I continue to evolve and grow and that brings me to my 3rd*Coda. 

Let me explain the inspiration behind the 3rd Coda.  Prior to becoming a psychologist I engaged in two previous careers. I taught elementary school, adult education, and later owned and operated a horseback riding school. Because of my training and experience in my work with children and adults, I learned a great deal about the essential ingredients to emotional well-being. These are #keys to how we connect with ourselves, our God, our children, and other people in our lives. Thus, recently I began my 3rd *Coda, as an author.

Why do I write, when I could retire? I write because  I want to connect with you and share what I have learned.  Please feel free to join me as I share more about the #keys to the emotional well-being for yourself, your children, and others in your life. I hope you will find many ideas to make your life more enjoyable.    Did you enjoy this? Leave me a comment or share.
