For 11 months, each week for 1 minute I watered a dormant orchid. After about 6 months the 2 green leaves on top bloomed, and after another 4 months buds started appearing. In the past 2 weeks the buds opened up. Throughout these last few months it took faith, patience, and consistency. I did have doubt along the way when for several months it seemed like nothing was happening. I learned how to care for orchids through a client I had and, though at times I doubted, I persisted because I didn’t doubt her.

I share with my clients that if you want change in your life it will take consistent effort over time. Even when you don’t feel like doing it (whatever it might be), or you don’t see results quick enough, keep doing it because change will happen. This experience caring for the orchid, hoping it will work, continuing to care for it even when it seemed like it was never going to come back to life is just one example of how consistent effort over time works and to have faith. It has been so rewarding to see this orchid blossom, I can’t tell you how excited I was! It reminds me of the pride and joy I feel when I see my clients change and achieve their goals. I am so fortunate to be a part of that process.
