Coach Christy J - Harris Specialty Services, LLC

It has been a long 2-year battle with the pandemic and EVERYTHING that has come about because of it. Sometimes it helps to just talk with someone.

Contact me by email at [email protected] and we can set up a time to talk - either by phone or zoom.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Who is really in control of your life? Do you know? Are you stuck in the miry clay?

GRIEF - We have all dealt with grief at some point in our lives - whether it is the loss of a loved one through death or breakup, a job ending, loss of a house or business, loss of a pet, or a friendship lost.

Grief hits us in waves. When we first start grieving all we can do is cry. Then we put on a "brave front" because we think it is expected of us - to be strong. Then all of the sudden, at someplace generic, like a stoplight, we lose it and the tears start flooding so hard we have to pull over.

There are normal processes to grief. No matter what caused the grief, you can talk about, unpack your grief, and put it in perspective to move forward in your life. You will still grieve, but you can learn how to process that grief. Contact me and let me know if I can help.

Send me an IM and let's get started.

I was super busy in July, and it is shaping up to be the same in August.

I enjoy helping people - whether it is with their physical needs or emotional needs.

I am thankful to have been busy in both realms; real estate needs and coaching needs.

Do you need help with something? I would love to help you. Email me at [email protected].

This a long read, but worth it. My 8-month journey.
I have been on a journey for the last 8 months and I would like to share it with you. First, I would like to thank some important people in my life, then I will get to my journey.

First giving honor to God for his unfailing love, faithfulness, mercy, and grace. Then I would like to acknowledge the love and support of my family: Kerri Savage/daughter, Tater Savage/son, Dawn Larkin, Wendell Bassett /brother, Arlen Harris/brother, Shonna Harris/niece, Debbie White, Laquitha Risper, Gayla Dawn, and Jenny Keller. These people checked on me daily and weekly to ensure my spirits stayed up, made sure I ate, and did not give up. I would also like to thank Fresca Rumsey who let me ask her endless treatment questions. Pastor/Coach Conda Ross, Gayle Kinnart, Johnny Archer and Bruce Scott Archer for their unfailing prayers and support. And last, but certainly not the least, John and Mary Tatum.

It began in September 2020; I was diagnosed with bronchitis and I found a lump in my neck. We all know the HMO insurance game; first to the P*P to refer me to the ENT. ENT scheduled me for a scan and biopsy. I did the scan, it was determined it was a lymph node; but before I could do the biopsy, I had to be tested for Covid before any procedures could take place.

I was tested in October 2020 and came back positive for COVID-19, which put me in 2 weeks of isolation and delayed the biopsy by almost a month (scheduled for 11/5/2020 originally).

Then November 2020 I came down with COVID Pneumonia; was taken to the hospital by ambulance because I could not breathe. The ER doc advised me that I had had a severe case of COVID and he did not know how I was able to weather it at home (But God) and that my lungs are scarred; he gave me medications for pneumonia, and it was thought to have cleared up. I had the biopsy finally on November 30, 2020.

I had a follow-up visit with my ENT on December 17,2020. But she called me on December 2, 2020, and asked me to come into her office the next day; and on December 3, 2020, was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma small cell B follicular cancer.

December was filled with scans, PET scans, and bone marrow biopsies. After I got off the phone with the ENT who requested I come in the next day, God gave me a scripture - 2 Chronicles 20:17 NIV - "You will not have to fight this battle. Take up your positions; stand firm and see the deliverance the Lord will give you, Judah and Jerusalem. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged. Go out to face them tomorrow, and the Lord will be with you.’” Hallelujah, this gave me peace.

In January 2021, I came down with pneumonia again that carried me from the end of January 2021 to the end of February 2021.

March 2021, I started 14 treatments of radiation to my neck and completed them by the 3rd week in March. I lost weight (I do not recommend this diet to anyone), lost my sense of taste and smell (never lost that with Covid).

April 21, 2021, I was declared in remission and got to ring the bell. Thank you, Jesus.

Now, in the midst of all of this, it was time to renew my Real Estate license; I had 5 classes I had to take consisting of 98 hours (3 – 30 hour courses and 2 – 4 hour courses); TREC has strict guidelines and would not allow me to extend or put it off and I worked too long and hard to get my real estate license; plus I had started classes for certification to become a Life Coach. So, I am doing classes and coaching sessions; and homework in both in addition to working remotely from home, while going through all the above.

I read something on Facebook during all of this – and the sheer exhaustion (mentally, physically, financially, and spiritually) that resonated with me, it was profound and really put it all in perspective for me. It said this ---- “You have been assigned this mountain to show others that it can be moved”. So instead of asking God “why?”, I asked Him to show me the way forward.

It is said that the number 7 is the Lord's number of completion and the number 8 in the Bible signifies Resurrection and Regeneration. It is the number of a new beginning. Eight is 7 plus 1 and since it comes just after seven, which itself signifies an end to something, so eight is also associated with the beginning of a new era or that of a new order.

Footnote. During Covid, I fractured 2 vertebrae and 4 ribs from coughing due to osteoporosis in my spine. This a long read, but worth it. My 8-month journey.

Customer Testimonial
Greetings Christy,
I really enjoyed our coaching session today! The topic # I picked to discuss from the Solution Box was #3 What could we work on that would make the biggest difference to your life? Your suggestions and comments were very informative and helpful to me. You helped me understand that communication can be handled in many different ways. I never would’ve thought about expressing my feelings on paper. I really got a lot out of our session today!

Customer Testimonial
from Life Coach Client

I have known Christy Harris for almost 30 years. She has been and continues to be my best friend and mentor. I wish I could put into words all the times she has been there for me, and still is.
Several years ago, I had a brain bleed that left me in very bad shape. My brain was a little scrambled, to say the least, and I was in a very dark place in my life. The doctors just kept trying one pill after the other, treating me for bipolar. Every pill they tried had extremely bad side effects. Apparently, I am not bi-polar. Christy just happened to call me one day when I was going through this hell in my mind. God put it on her heart to call me and check on me that particular day. We don't live in the same state, but that never stopped our friendship. After I told her what I was going through, she got on her computer and looked up my symptoms, unlike any of my doctors or anyone else, and she found another alternative instead of what the doctors had diagnosed. At first, I wasn't hearing her and I thought I was going crazy, literally. It was as if God grabbed my shoulders and started to shake me telling me to listen to her!! Then I heard her telling me I am not crazy and in that instant, the fog lifted from my brain. To me, she was a miracle worker, but to her, as she always says, "To God be the Glory!!". That was one of the most profound days of my life. Not only did she save me, she always gives glory to God. Christy has always amazed me and I thank God every day that He put us together. This is just one of many times, that God gave her the words that flowed so naturally, I needed to hear.
As recently as last month, I called Christy with a very difficult problem. I was in a panic because it was my granddaughter's 18th birthday dinner. Right before we leave, I hear that her dad was going to be there. I had been so angry with him the last few years because, somehow, this intelligent, college-educated man that I had loved like a son, had gotten on drugs and totally ruined his life, not to mention all of his children's lives. My heart broke, not only for my granddaughter but also for me. I loved him like a son and respected him. I was crushed. I just never expected anything like this from him. He had always been there for his kids, and I admired that. I was in shock and there was no way I could be in the same room with him. My roommate was trying to calm me, to no avail. Then I heard God tell me to call Christy. So I did, and within a few minutes, I was calm. She said a prayer with me and again, God was telling her the words that I needed to hear. And by the time we were done, I had peace about everything and I was actually able to forgive him for the hurt he caused his family, and me!! Now, thanks to Christy, I am praying for him and not hating him. But, "To God be the Glory!!" as she always says. I was shocked at the difference she made that day in me, I don't know why I was shocked, she has always been able to pray with me, the words flow so freely, and again, I am at peace. and again, she says "To God be the Glory!!"
