Bloom Where You're Planted

06/28/2021


    I always enjoyed rollercoasters, although at this point in life something has changed fundamentally in my composition and I can’t enjoy them like I used to! I loved the way my stomach leapt as the coaster plummeted, went upside down, and corkscrewed. What an adrenaline rush! My least favorite part was the beginning - that part where click by click you slowly ascend to the top. I was always so anxious during that part!
    Life, like rollercoasters, has a lot of twists and unseen turns. Sometimes you’re completely upside down! And of course, there are those anxious filled times of slowly proceeding one click at a time, waiting and working, anticipating the good times. Not all of life is fun; some is hard. Some chapters in life serve to prepare you for what is next. 
    Are you in one of those preparatory chapters in life? Are you struggling up the hill, but losing sight of the top? Sometimes you have to make the best of the situation you are in. Sometimes you have to take a deep breath and do the hard work, and bloom where you're planted. It’s not fun. It’s not easy. But you don’t have to go it alone.
    Having a coach can make all the difference between giving up and meeting your goals. If you are ready to take action and knock down the barriers that keep you from where you want to be, contact me today. I am in your corner! I will help you figure out what you need for each step of the way - and also remind you of how far you’ve already come!

Your Partner In Spiritual Health,
Melissa

Hello Friends!

Hi, my name is Melissa Ebken, and I'm so glad you found your way here. 

I am at home in the difficult spaces of peoples’ lives, willing to listen and to support those who work to grow themselves. I am a trained coach and have consulted with churches in conflict. Not your stereotypical minister, I embrace the Gospel with joy and laughter as I seek to help those around me grow in faith and understanding, always striving to leave people better than they came. An agent of wholeness, I create a safe space for people, especially those who have been marginalized, where they can understand how ridiculously loved and valued they are by God/Higher Power/Spirit, and to experience the difference that makes in life. 

I started the Pursuing Uncomfortable Podcast to share the stories of people who have faced life's most difficult challenges, to inspire you to lean into and overcome your own. It's helpful to know that you're not alone in your struggles and to see how others have navigated similar circumstances. You can listen to it here.
