I found out today that my last name in the international dictionary means support timber. It is of Germanic origin and was used in reference to mining tunnels. The definition describes the main support timber that kept the mine from caving in.
At first I was slightly disappointed by the meaning, as we all want our last names to have some poetic significance but as I thought about it I decided it was perfect. As I think about the meaning, a support timber, I see this wonderful hand-hewn beam made of some beautiful German oak tree, very rich and golden. It really is the perfect name because in reality that’s exactly what a life coach is… a support timber.
As a life coach I am here to support you. I’m not a main part of your daily life however my existence helps you to stand stronger. I am that quiet partner that offers strength when necessary.
I ran across the meaning of my last name completely unintentionally but now am so glad that I have. I love the idea that the origins of my last name are so appropriate.
What is the lesson here? As you all know…there is always a life lesson in my blogs. It’s kind of like watching the Brady bunch, I may a ramble on for a bit but you know at the end there is always going to be a moral of the story.
The lesson is…don’t assume you know everything there is to know about yourself, there is always something new to learn.
I had no idea that Stull had a significant meaning in my life. Now that I do, I admit, it puts a smile on my face.
You will continue to learn fabulous new things about yourself on an almost daily basis. Keep your mind open and look for the little, seemingly insignificant facts because when you explore them further they may turn out to be important pieces of who you are and who you’re going to become.
