Recently, a friend and fellow coach asked me, “What makes your heart sing?” This question stirred a great deal of energy that seemed to get stuck in my throat as I began to reply. “What makes my heart sing?” As I sit with this question now, knowing how I answered, a smile comes to my face and warmth to my heart.
