'Twas the Chaos Before Christmas
T’was the chaos before Christmas and all I could do
Was worry about the cookies and cocktails a brew
For a recovering indulger the struggle is real
Santa brought shame before I knew how to deal
This year is different as I’m in control
My circumstances are neutral and no longer take toll
“Your thoughts are a choice” a wise woman once said
And visions of sugar plums danced in my head
With a pen in hand I unloaded my brain
Intentionally extinguishing the roaring urge flame
One thought, one feeling
Come from a fact
My eyes are now opened to why I react
2020 begins a new year
Setting impossible goals and welcoming fear
50/50 is what I expect
No longer will my thoughts go unchecked
Thanks to my challenges a coach has emerged
Valued by clients and feeling affirmed
To my peers and coaches I say with delight
Happy coaching to all and to all – good things are in sight!
