"It felt like the world knew I was supposed to do this ... and I was the last one to find out"

Emily Silva Hockstra believes everyone has the power to create the lives they dream of.

During a holiday to Costa Rica she saw a handwritten flyer in a coffee shop for an “intuitive painting course” and immediately was taken on a process that changed her life. The woman teaching her ended the course by interpreting her paining and telling Emily that she needed to be Brave … and to go after what she really wanted … Love!

Returning to the US, she quit her job, then booked a one way trip to Bali to find herself and plan the future. But in the beginning this wasn’t so spiritual and meaningful … it took 3 weeks of rain, rats and stray dogs, before Emily realised the need to look at life differently and be grateful for what she was experiencing and use this for her motivation.

Back in the US again, her dream of being a published author did not immediately eventuate at her first attempt. However, a random encounter with a man in a coffee shop, who thought she was a good listener, suggested she would make a great life coach. Within a month Emily enrolled in a course to become a life coach and this has been a primary part of her life since…And finally a year later she did publish her first book on Gratitude.
