What do you have to do?

Posted on July 5, 2017 by Tyra Garlington • 0 Comments

Here is some more good “stuff” I discovered during my recovery while all I could do was read.

Enjoy!

“YOU don’t have to get a job that makes others feel comfortable about what they perceive as your success. You don’t have to explain what you plan to do with your life. You don’t have to justify your education by demonstrating its financial rewards. You don’t have to maintain an impeccable credit score. Anyone who expects you to do any of those things has no sense of history or economics or science or the arts. You have to pay your own electric bill. You have to be kind. You have to give it all you’ve got. You have to find people who love you truly and love them back with the same truth.

But that’s all.” [1]

That made my heart smile!

[1] Cheryl Strayed, Brave Enough, (Alfred A Knopf, Canada 2015), 5

Until next time, remember,

You are not alone.
You are not your circumstances.
You have everything within you to live a purpose-filled life.

Testimonials

Just a quick note to again thank you for your superb job facilitating today! Energetic, insightful, spiritually sensitive, fun, patient, flexible, professional and diplomatic are among the words I’d use to describe you. Because I love simplicity, I very much appreciated the straight on direct route you took to have us ask questions that needed asking and the way you required all of us to thoughtfully provide answers that can be achieved.

Tyra is an excellent leader, creative problem solver and critical thinker. She thinks “outside the box” and her “can do” attitude often encourages even the “not so willing” to participate in productive initiatives outside their comfort zone. Tyra’s professional training and background in education, psychology, business and government combine to give her a wide range of skills upon which to draw in any environment.

I quote… “Life will work for me when I accept … The labels placed on me don’t always fit. With its structures, expectations, and divisions, society has fostered certain ideas about women that are not always flattering. Many people believe that strong women are not feminine and that assertive women cannot be trusted. My all-time favorite is that women who exhibit any degree of clarity about who they are and what they want are dangerous. Do not forget that a bossy woman is domineering, m… Read more

You are a very special person, with a gift for getting to the heart of the problem and making sure everyone sees it.

You are inspirational and a unifying force! You will be missed.

She is extremely knowledgeable, not only in leadership of diverse organizations and staff functions but also in personal and team coaching and group development. I know no one more adept than Tyra with people in motivating people to their potential.

A steel magnolia through and through, Tyra has the Southern-belle delicate exterior with an unbreakable core that has seen her through many obstacles. While she has suffered abuse, loss, and cancer; her unbounded faith and belief that God has led her to help others who face insurmountable odds, volunteering to help women dealing with domestic violence and homelessness and mentoring children who live in worlds they cannot control.
