I want to share the SMILE & MOVE video message as a reminder of everything good coaching is about, AND…what Laura Moritz’ and my new book The Winning Connection is also about. I wish I had created this video message myself, but I didn’t. It’s great! Enjoy!
In the upcoming book, “Wake Up Women! BE Happy, Healthy & Wealthy”, the chapter I have contributed to this wonderful collection of wisdom and golden nuggets from coaches is entitled “Let it Be!” I recently watched a YouTube video of Tony Melendez entitled “Let it Be!” You owe it to yourself to watch this:

You want to be inspired? You want to “get” what Life Coaches like Sheila Pearl are all about?
Watch this video and then tell me: what about your life doesn’t work? what about your life are you complaining about, that you can’t imagine doing something about to make it work?
How does your faith in God, your faith in yourself, your faith in your possibilities lift you up each and every day?
Watch this video, and then talk to me–let me know how it grabs you!
With love,
Sheila
YOU HAVEN’T MET ME YET…WHAT’S IT LIKE?
Before the Fall season begins and I get crazy busy and can’t do this again, I want to give you an opportunity to meet me–either in person or on the phone.
Did you know that most Life Coaching takes place on the phone?
Did you know that I have clients in 12 states and 5 countries, most of whom I have never SEEN?
Soooo…it doesn’t matter where you are. And…I am often on the phone as early as 6am and as late a midnight. It’s one of the advantages of being over 60–I don’t need as much sleep, apparently! When I was 35, I craved 9 hours a night.
Here’s the incentives I am offering:
A 30-minute complimentary coaching call for starters. That way, you can meet me, get a sense of how I work and we can establish a rapport as well as a plan of action.
For the month of August: a 50% discount on phone coachings:
Instead of $120 per hour = $60 per hour
IF….you purchase 4 hours of coaching before Aug. 15; you may use those 4 hours any way you choose, in a 45-day period of time from when we begin.
For the month of August, a 33% discount on in-office coaching:
Instead of $150 for each in-office coaching = $100
If…you pay in advance for 4 in-office coachings, which you may use any way you choose, within a 60-day period of time, from when we begin.
By taking advantage of this Summer Special Incentive for Life Coaching, you will be giving yourself a gift of good health, a jumpstart for emotional fitness for your Fall season.

The title of the article in the Hudson Valley Life Magazine is “Pearls of Wisdom”
It’s nice when you’ve lived long enough to have earned the status of “wise woman”… In this article, the writer refers to “The Holy Woman of the Hudson Valley”–that’s me! How does one get that reputation? Well…”holy” isn’t what you may think. To me, “holy” is another way of saying that something or someone has depth to it; in order to have “depth” and be willing to constantly go deeper and deeper, one discovers all the nooks and cranies of a person, a situation or a book.
“Holy books” are books filled with depth: depths of thought, meaning, and experience.
“Holy people” are people whose lives are characterized by taking risks, falling down, surviving difficult obstacles, learning from life’s experiences and challenges.
Sooo…having lived 66+ years to date, I think I qualify: I’ve taken lots and lots of risks, continue to do so, don’t take the safe road, am constantly seeking to grow and stretch as a human being, and am unafraid to admit my faults and short-falls, am excited about new opportunities in life, as long as I have breath.
A great spiritual teacher and one of my husband’s mentors was Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel; he described “holiness” as “going deep” and the opposite of holiness as “superficial”.
So for me, being dubbed the “Holy Woman of the Hudson Valley” is a great compliment: some people out there have acknowledged that I am a woman of depth, vulnerability, a seeker of wisdom, and lifelong learner, and a human being who is constantly passionate about life in all its aspects–the physical, the emotional and the spiritual.
Could you describe yourself as “holy”? And if not, why not? Would you like to be? Would you like some guidance on living you life more deeply and with a sense of deep inner satisfaction? To me, that’s what living a “holy” life is all about.
Let’s talk!

One of the most important jobs of a Life Coach is to pay attention to the thoughts our clients are thinking. Many people walk through life thinking that they ARE their thoughts, and that they cannot do anything about their thoughts…that they just happen and we can’t do anything about them.
Well! I’m here to say NONSENSE! You are NOT your thoughts. And furthermore, YOU have a CHOICE in what you think–all the time!
Yes…it’s true: we think thousands of thoughts a day, most of them are automatic and probably duplicates of the thoughts running throughout our heads every other day. Until…
Until we notice them.
Notice your thoughts. Now: which thoughts do you WANT to have? Which thoughts empower you? Which thoughts dishonor you? Which thoughs bring you down or lift you up?
You can choose.
During the months of July and now looking forward to August, I am leading two separate workshop topics: “You can be HAPPY No Matter What!” and “Simple Steps to Transform your FEAR to POWER”. These workshops are based on my own life experiences, to be sure. However, I’m never alone in providing the richest of resources to my students and clients. For these two workshops, I have included the work and teaching of Neale Donald Walsch (on whose coaching staff I serve at the Conversations with God foundation), Marci Shimoff (also on The Secret along with Neale and numerous other spiritual teachers) and well-known psychologist Susan Jeffers, Ph.D.
Both Marci and Neale offer wisdom in creating happiness from the inside. Susan Jeffers guides us through the map of fear, reminding us that just like happiness, fear resides in our inner conversations with ourselves.
In Susan Jeffer’s classic FEEL THE FEAR and Do It Anyway! she reminds us that our self-talk determines the quality of our lives. So often, in the face of any number of circumstances in our lives, we might say to ourselves or to one another, “Isn’t it terrible…” and you can fill in the blank. Susan Jeffer suggests that instead of saying “Isn’t it terrible!” that our self-talk could be the empowering mantra “Isn’t it a great opportunity…!”
A few months ago, I was diagnosed with walking pneumonia. The doctor said “stay home” and I was grounded. For a woman with my schedule, energy and enthusiasm for everything I do in life, it was like punishing a teenager who was just given a new driver’s license and car. What?!?! I have to stay home?!? Ugh! How terrible!
Now I ask you, was it really terrible? Or was that just a thought?
I was forced by circumstances to rest, to sleep, to think, to read, to write, and…to pay attention to my emails. I receive hundreds of emails a day. Most of them, I delete, having no time to read them. Now…I could slow down and pay attention.
Sooo…what might be seen as “terrible” at one moment, I quickly saw as a “wonderful opportunity” in the next. I began to talk to myself differently. Wow! I GET to rest, slow down, read my emails, and even watch the Oprah Web Event with Eckhard Tolle. What a gift!
One of my emails was from Bill Harris (also on The Secret), telling me about this exciting opportunity to be a co-author in a best-selling series called Wake Up! Life the Life You Love. Just the title of the series alone got my attention (why?…I had been using the tagline I’m not here to change you…just to wake you up! for ten years). I was also in the midst of Landmark Education, which also has the conversation about living the life you love, so that language captured my attention.
As I read the email from Bill Harris and clicked on the link to the WakeUpLive website, I was thinking “this is probably pie in the sky” but proceeded anyway. Then, I noticed that Steven E, the creator of the series, gave his phone number. As I was dialing the phone number, I was thinking “he probably won’t be there, and he probably won’t call me back”. But I called and left a message, saying that I was home and could receive his call that night. Within ten minutes, Steven E called me back! Yep. He called me back!
That’ll teach me! My thoughts were running wild. But they were just silly thoughts. They weren’t true. Steven E called me, reassured me that this was a great opportunity for me to be a published co-author in a book that was totally in alignment with my mission, my purpose and my work.
What emerged from that conversation with Steven E was his putting me in touch with the WAKE UP WOMEN team; I spoke with Ardice, then Heidi then Karen. We had an alliance! It was real. Little did I know how blessed I would be to have had pneumonia which gave me the opportunity to explore this exciting adventure in being a co-author in the new WAKE UP WOMEN book. Wow!
This little story of turning something you or I might call “terrible” ino something I could CHOOSE to see as an “opportunity” is a small example of the ways we could all choose to see those things that happen in our lives; either we could continue to call the “terrible” or look through another lens, seeing whatever it is as an opportunity and blessing.
In addition to the WAKE UP WOMEN book in which I am a co-author, I have authored three other books which will soon be released; in each of these books, I share numerous stories from my life, such as the story I share in the WAKE UP WOMEN book, entitled “Let it Be!”.
Think about it you have your own list. How many so-called “terrible” things in your own life are really potential opportunities and blessings for you to experience? How do we know which experiences in our lives are the greatest blessings, in which we discover a part of ourselves or someone else that we never would have known was there?
So let me ask you this: how are you talking to yourself? Just notice your thoughts: and then…remind yourself that you always have a choice about what you say. Somehow, just telling myself that all he challenges in my life are opportunities and blessings, rather than being terrible, gives me back my power. And I can say “YES” to life. No matter what.
HELLO FRIENDS!
Welcome to my new Blog! I am inviting you to become partners in dialogue and discovery. Please feel free to express yourself and I will have the opportunity to engage in conversation with you and share this conversation with everyone who visits my blog.
Coming up in October is the publication of the exciting new “WAKE UP WOMEN! BE Happy, Healthy & Wealthy” book in which I am a co-author, along with about 40 other coaches from around the world. This is an exciting new division of the “WAKE UP Live the Life You Love” best-selling series envisioned by Steven E and Lee Beard nearly ten years ago and over 27 books later.
The “WAKE UP WOMEN” book, in which I am a co-author, is filled with golden nuggets of coaching wisdom and tips for living your life more effectively, more powerfully, in a state of ongoing happiness, vigorous health and abundance. Go to this website now: www.wuwbestseller.com
I will be sharing with you the essence of the story I tell in this book, as well as other golden nuggets of insights and experience which appear in my upcoming soon-to-be published books, “BEING GODDESS POWER” and “PearlWisdom Gifts”.
All coaches, no matter which modality or specialty of focus, are trained to ask the right questions: questions which lead YOU to find the answers you are seeking…within yourself. Coaches rarely give direct “advice”…we remain curious in our listening about what it is YOU are seeking, and listen with eyes wide open. We watch for ways to “see” yourself that you do not see, for ways to envision your life that you cannot imagine.
This Blog is new…and still under development. Stay tuned for a full range of articles, conversations, links and resources.
This Blog is for YOU…let’s have a conversation! Tag! You’re it!

“I WANT A SPIRITUAL BUT NOT RELIGIOUS WEDDING CEREMONY!”
How often I have heard this declaration! Especially in the last five years… Seems that more young people–and even more mature couples–are seeking a “spiritual” but “not religious” wedding ceremony.
You don’t have to be Jewish for me to officiate at your wedding. Right.
I have officiated at many wedding ceremonies of couples who come from all religious backgrounds–some…not Jewish at all…
I offer a customized, meaningful, spiritual and personal wedding ceremony.
If you want something you will never forget, something that touches the heart and represents YOU and your needs, call me.
Dont’cha just LOVE the game of “what if…?” ???
In the workshop I am currently leading on the topic of “Transforming your FEARS to POWER”, I have included an exercise called the “WHAT IF GAME”.
How often do you find yourself playing this game with yourself?
What if…it rains today? What if…I run out of money? What if…my significant other leaves me? What if…I lose my job? What if…the stock market crashes again? What if…
So how would you plan this game?
In Susan Jeffers book, FEEL THE FEAR and Do It Anyway! she suggests we add an answer to the “what if” questions we all have, most of the time:
If this or that does happen…I CAN HANDLE IT! YES! I CAN HANDLE IT!
How much of that do you believe? If you DON’T believe that you can handle it, what is it that causes you to doubt yourself, your ability for adapting or handling whatever comes along? What is it that you believe about yourself and your abilities that have caused you to doubt your own magnificence as a human being?
I’m here to remind you–and you are here to remind me–that we are each created by our Creator to be magnificent human beings, experiencing joy and love in our lives. We are wired for happiness. We are wired for excellence. We are wired to smile amidst the tears that may fall as we feel sadness. We are wired to be partners in creation every day of our lives.
What if…there was no way you could lose? What if…you were destined for greatness, no matter what? What if…there was nothing but love?
