I knew I’d ask Debe Bloom to share- she is truly a giving heart and spirit! The picture below is HER- she is sunshine without a doubt!

What inspires you each and every day?

Debe: “Without trying to sound like the world circles around me, my own growth inspires me…and how far I can comfortably ‘push’ myself. Knowing I can help myself, I know I can authentically help others. I am on a growth mission, for all…since I believe that I can’t help others unless I’ve walked the walk myself.”

What part of your life did you once assume was ordinary that you have found inspires others?

Debe: “This actually shocks me a bit: In my ‘previous life of 23 years’, every time I voiced an opinion, it was diminished into the worthless category. After I woke up and moved on, my thoughts and voice became valuable to others. Today, that same voice has helped so many people — and when they share their gratitude, it tickles me. Being able to coach and mentor others is very important to me.”

What is one of the most important lessons you have learned in life?

Debe: “Every single one of us has value and importance. We are each experts at what we do—from being a CEO of a major corporation to working at the local hamburger stand– and although our confidence can get out of balance periodically, everyone is special. So that knowledge coupled with the knowledge that there is a positive lesson in each episode of our day, will help make a worthwhile life. As my mother used to say (and I’m sure many other mothers quoted), there is a reason for everything. Finding that reason is the key.”

Debe is the youngest of 4 who shared most of her life with a twin sister, who is putting one foot in front of the other, moving forward and sharing that message with others. Debe Bloom, Certified Confidence Coach, www.debebloom.com www.facebook.com/DebeBloomCertifiedCoach 805.659.3323
