I wasn’t expecting to be left speechless at a coaching session…
A client (who wishes to remain anonymous) gave me this beautiful piece of mosaic art which she had spent three weeks creating. She carefully chose the tiles to match my coaching space and when she shared the meaning behind each tile, I was completely overwhelmed.
She said "Janette - I made this for you as a representation of my journey with Marbles Creative Coaching."
And then she shared the story behind it, her story.
The broken pieces represent how her mind once felt… scattered, fragmented, heavy.
But the feature that draws your attention first is the sun with different coloured rays each carrying its own meaning:
-Black for the dark days.
-Grey for the “meh” days.
-Blue for the days of feeling nothing.
-Red for the angry days.
-Orange for the good days.
Because life doesn’t suddenly become perfect, but it can become clearer, lighter, and more manageable.
And the very centre of the sun is a beautiful red stone representing love.
A reminder that no matter what the day brings, she is learning to love herself and keep warmth in her heart.
There’s also a daisy for new beginnings, joy and hope.
A pearl for calm, feminine energy, personal growth, wisdom and resilience.
A scallop shell symbolising protection, strength and transformation (a beautiful reminder that even when something feels broken, it can still be beautiful).
And stones representing grounding, stability and connection.
Every piece tells part of her story. And some even given from her personal collection - reminders of a favourite holiday location.
I feel incredibly honoured to do the work I do, but moments like this remind me that coaching isn’t about “fixing” anything.
It’s about walking alongside someone as they begin to see themselves differently, with more compassion, more clarity, and more hope.
To the artist, thank you. Truly.
This will always hold a very special place in my heart. 💛
