Welcome
This site is constantly changing, just like me. I am on my third reinvention.
Yes, reinvention! I’ve reinvented myself twice before. This time, I am going to honor my true self. From now on, life will be about honoring my strongest values – all esthetic! The trick is to make a living, while I honor my values. I’m up for the challenge!
If you’ve always wanted to reinvent yourself, you may want to join in on the fun. If you’ve always thought it couldn’t be done – I have news for you. It can!
Once I made this decision, I ventured out on the web to see what I could find out about others who had written on reinvention of oneself. Well, it’s a pretty popular concept right now. That’s good, because hopefully I can share my journey with others seeking the same inspiration.
I want to integrate the things I am most passionate about into one creative lifestyle. Where should I start?
Well, I really like helping others. I’m a team player. I do have some inspirational abilities too. Not only that, I have owned an executive search firm. I’ve also successfully started and operated two service businesses. I think that qualifies me to use the training as a coach that I have pursued. Skill #1 – coaching/consulting
Though I’m not proficient, I really love photography too. Specifically, I enjoy taking
photos of flowers. I love to garden and I’m continually amazed by the complex beauty of flower blossoms, from the tiniest to the largest.
I was so flattered when a California seed company asked to use this photo on their seed package for 2010.
I took this photo at the Atlanta Botanical Garden last summer. Even though I love to garden, my intown garden is too shady to grow plants like this Sea Shell Cosmos. Skill #2 – photography

This is starting to get interesting. Hmmm. In 2007, I suddenly shed a writer’s block I had encountered all my life. I scribbled down 350 pages of a novel about south Georgia. I had no idea what a bumpy ride I had just begun. Naively, I thought it was quite a good story. Almost three years and six re-writes later, I think it is a good story. I am in the process of submitting it to agents. Skill # 3 – writing
What does that ‘rainmaker’ tag mean? It means I have a mainly unused talent for getting large groups of people enthused about something. Wow, now that’s a skill, isn’t it? Skill #4 – rainmaking
This should be an interesting adventure. Stay tuned. If you want to play, just jump in and leave a comment. Or, you can email me at info [at} dianecox.net. I’ll be blogging about my adventure almost every day.
