How does one hire a life coach (and is it expensive?)

Really.

I'm tired of trying to figure it out.

I'm tired of wondering if I'm acting just a tad too self-involved for my own good.

I'm tired of whining about it.

I'm tired of doing nothing about it.

I'm especially tired of advice from people who don't know me very well (one of whom actually suggested I go into Real Estate because I like a challenge!)

And I could really really use some new Vincent D'Onofrio pics to cheer up.

So for those of you who don't know me very well, here's a snapshot.

I love: books, kids, kids books, books about kids books, mythology, religion, human nature and social sciences in general, words and word puzzles (but not sudoku), pop culture (except reality TV), music, internet culture (even when it drives me batshit crazy), and social justice issues, to name a few things.

I am: driven, bored easily when unchallenged, patient, self-teaching, curious, introverted, but socially adaptive, detail-oriented, highly flexible, and good at training others.

I care about: this world we live in and the people in it, especially those who might be considered "the least of these," i.e. children, the homeless, mentally ill, poverty stricken and uneducated.

I can do: practically anything I set my mind to, though neurosurgery may require some training first.

Any thoughts or suggestions are welcome. Just no real estate, please.
