SUCCESS STORIES
About four months ago I was a completely different person then who I am today. I always had a negative outlook on life and I was angry with the world, my life, and most of all myself. I was so negative to the point that I was struggling to keep any relationship because people could not handle being around me. I became very guarded and would immediately test people to determine if they really cared about me, most of the time I pushed them right out of my life as a defense mechanism to avoid being happy. I soon became so isolated and disconnected from people that I was self-loathing and self-destructive. I was lost inside myself that I had already given up on life, to the extent that I just wanted to die and thought about it often. I became numb to living life and it was only a matter of time that I would have hurt myself or someone else with my recklessness.
In December of last year I was involved in a car accident where a pedestrian lost his life. A detective gave me several numbers to counselors to help me with the shock, guilt and grief that I would be undergoing in the days ahead. When she mentioned Karla’s story, I knew Karla was just the person I needed. When I first met Karla, her presence alone gave me a sense of calming and at that moment I realized God had beautifully orchestrated our meeting. With each session I was finding my true self, it was like all my burdens where being wiped away. I looked forward to our sessions because each time I was closer to living the happy life I was suppose to live. Karla helped me regain my self-esteem and more importantly she taught me to love myself. I have mended broken relationships and have trust in new relationships. She has shown me how to take back control of my life and live to my fullest potential.
I know going forward that I can remain positive and face life’s challenges head on. I appreciate the beauty of people and all that they have to offer. I have strength in knowing that I have a lot to offer as well and I am empowered to show people the real me. Thanks to Karla’s coaching I am happy, capable, determined, confident, and passionate about life. Karla has taught me to live in the moment and not in the past; each day is a new beginning to tell the ones who are close to me how thankful I am that they are in my life. Now I am able to openly and freely communicate with people in the moment and not have regrets on what I should have or could have done. All my actions will be done with love in mind and Karla has inspired me to be a go-getter with a purpose and desire to help others. I hope that my life experiences will help others to step out of their comfort zones and into the lives they were meant to lead. Thanks to Karla I am back and ready to be the woman God intended for me to be.
