Got Growth?

1/6/2012

How much did you grow in 2011?  I mean, spiritually, mentally, professionally, how much do you think you gained in the past twelve months?  For me, with the launching of a new company, and the completion of my sister's murder trial, I am drenched by lessons of wisdom and healing.  No matter who you are, or what you've been through, every year yields opportunities for growth.  So, what are your lessons and reflections from 2011, and how will you apply them to your life from this moment forward?

Admittedly, this past year was not an easy year for me, or my family.  As many of you know, my elder sister, Kristi O'Pry, has been missing since 1996, and in the summer of 2011, after 15 long years of agony... her confessed killer was sentenced to death.  (For more info, please visit www.kristiopry.org)   Although, sadly, Kristi's remains were never found... her murderer's trial brought an undeniable realm of acceptance, forgiveness, and closure in my life.

During the sentencing phase in August, I remember asking my business partner with FocalPoint, Karen, "will I ever feel normal again?"  After looking at me with surprise, she said, "Amy... it's the WEEK of your sister's murder trial... you WILL get through this."  Hearing those words, I chuckled suddenly realizing how difficult it was allowing my "naturally positive" self to feel such deep and overwhelming sadness, again.  It's true; I did get over it, and I do feel better...  Most importantly, I now realize how much strength it took to endure and overcome such a drawn out tragedy, overall, with a positive and hopeful heart.

See, some say they could do without the trials of life... but then people like me say, "I can't imagine who I'd be without them."

In unity,
Amy O'Pry

What Our Clients Are Saying

"Amy is a fantastic leadership and communications coach! She led some training at our manager's meeting... She has a way of communicating with everyone that makes them feel involved, energized, and engaged. Her bright personality was very apparent. Everyone was sad when her session ended. I would love to attend more of her training sessions. I've already asked my company to bring her in again!”

Jennifer Bucello, Senior Corporate Accountant
