“Re: your article on being a Free Spirit...I didn’t realize our great country was founded less than 20 years ago...1976?
We’ve sure gotten a lot accomplished since then...No wonder Bush thinks we can set up a democracy in Iraq in a matter of months....

Well, I got several e-mails like this from last week’s article that had a misprint.
Guess I could use a proofreader coach. As many of us get older and work in new professions, we need different coaches in our life.
My wife employs a life coach named Jessica, and she and Jessica meet a few times a week to go over how to be healthy and stay in shape.
As we live longer, do more things and have more choices in life we can have many coaches. And you know what? If you need help in a part of your life, why not get some help?
My New York publicist, Judy, sent me a problem with a woman who felt it was a sign of weakness to ask for help. Well, she probably needs some professional help before coaching. My sister would say, “Buck up and get it done.” Our weaknesses are generally fears from outside our comfort zone. A coach would simply put the person into the situation until they feel comfortable, moving the present into the future, whereas a therapist would need to find the past cause of this feeling and expose it.
And I am still reeling from the e-mails, “What are you stupid?”
No, just need a little coaching.
