It was the first evening of the Geneen Roth retreat and it was finally dinner time. We were instructed to sit but not begin eating until all women were seated and Geneen had said a few words (the tomato vegetable soup scene in Women, Food and God for those who are familiar). Seated at the same table, we introduced ourselves. You know how when you're at a restaurant and you see people having a great date? The kind of date where you can tell they just met but you can also sense that it's the beginning of something big? I'd like to think the universe was smiling on us as we got to know each other, oblivious of the amazing friendship and professional collaboration that was to come. Our fast friendship made the retreat even better and after we got home, on our first call Shelly introduced Azure to astrology, not the magazine horoscope variety, but real in depth astrology. As you'll learn in your session "you just can't make this stuff up." Over the next few years, Azure and Shelly would continue their own work on themselves before expanding their repertoire with coaching, astrology and spiritual certifications. Eventually Soul Food Coach was born and Shelly and Azure are able to take the very best of what they have learned to help other women.
