“Seeing Through the Heart” by Colorful Blac Recently, a coaching client was having trouble seeing the amazing shifts in her life. She could only see that she is still at the same job, her house is not remodeled, the yard is still not planted. I asked her to look with her heart, instead of her eyes.
