Coach Up! Navigating Life's Challenges with a Cup of Coffee and Conviction

Yesterday was one of those days where life decided to show up unannounced, testing my resilience. It was a day filled with unexpected tears and moments of vulnerability. In search of support, I reached out to my daughter and husband, asking for a few prayers to help guide me through. A few hours later, my husband appeared at my office, not just with comforting words but with a tangible symbol of support—a cup of coffee. His presence and his reminder to "Coach Up!" were exactly what I needed. His words resonated deeply:
- This is life.

• It's part of the game.
• It will come to pass.-
• Stay focused on the big goals.
• This is the journey.

Despite the tears that continued to fall, his encouragement helped me persevere, reminding me that today is a new day to face the world again.


The concept of "Coaching Up" is not just about self-motivation; it's a reminder that life's trials are integral to our journey. They build our character, fortify our strength, and enrich our story. It's about recognizing that the path to achieving our goals is paved with challenges, each designed to test our resolve and prepare us for what lies ahead. My husband's simple act of showing up with a cup of coffee was a profound gesture of understanding and support, a reminder that no one should navigate life's ups and downs alone.
The blend of vulnerability and support encapsulates the essence of "Coaching Up." It's an acknowledgment that while some days will inevitably be tough, the presence of a solid support system can make all the difference. It's about having someone in your corner who not only understands the value of a timely coffee delivery but also the immense power of encouragement and belief in one's ability to overcome adversity.

Today, I urge you to embrace the concept of "Coaching Up" in your own life. Remember, it's okay to have days where you feel overwhelmed, as long as you keep moving forward. Build your support system—those who understand the importance of both emotional and practical gestures of encouragement.

Let's continue to navigate our journeys with resilience, embracing every challenge as an opportunity for growth. And if you can, be the person who delivers coffee to someone in need, understanding that sometimes, it's the smallest acts that carry the greatest impact.
