Philosophy
Another important piece of Nola's philosophy is that life is an integrated whole, and who we are at our core is the common element woven through all of our experiences. Nola helps people realize that by working on themselves they can maximize positive shifts and changes in all areas of their lives. She believes that this type of approach is much more effective than working on individual issues in isolation.
Whether you encounter Nola as a teacher and coach, hear her speak, or travel with her to spiritually tour in a far distant land you are guaranteed to be touched and changed by the experience. Her special style of spiritual guiding and mentoring will surely lead to powerful, positive changes in your life! |

| About
the Dragonfly A note from Nola
on the dragonfly...
Jack used to tell a fabulous story every Easter. It was a story that explained physical death, by using the beautiful example of waterbugs turning into dragonflies. The Waterbug Story is written by Doris Stickney. At the time I first heard Jack tell the story, it really helped me in my own understanding and acceptance of physical death, and I dearly love this little story! I have used it at all of the memorial services that I have conducted, and I always will. It is a powerful story that helps us all understand and accept the mysteries of life, death... and most importantly of profound transformation, which is ultimately what life, and death, are all about! Jack's telling of the waterbug story is what introduced me to a new personal relationship to the dragonfly. I had found a powerful metaphor that was profound in its simplicity and its truth. When Jack made his transition in 1992, I started to see dragonflies as my own special connection to him. I started to see them in unusual places at unusual times... and I am convinced that they are messages from his spirit directly to me!
Since my dad's passing I frequently see two dragonflies flying together... and I always interpret this to be Jack and my Dad... lovingly providing reassurance and support to me as I continue my earthly journey. I am most grateful for the gift of the dragonfly... as a creature of profound spiritual metaphor, a personal source of encouragement and reassurance... and of graceful, serene beauty! |
