One day while pondering the year ahead, I reached into the tickle trunk and thought “hmm, wouldn’t it be grand to have life coaching exercises emailed to me on a regular basis”. Being pragmatic, I figured if this appealed to me, then it would appeal to others. So began SoulNudge Creates! Mini Bites.

| Set Your Life In Motion! Interview with Roberta Coker |
| Interviewed by Mildred Lynn | Winter 2007 |
Roberta Croker, MHA |
Roberta Coker is a Certified Master Hand Analyst, motivational teacher and speaker, and owner of Hand Dynamics, headquartered in Santa Rosa, CA. What's exciting about Roberta is that she’s analyzed thousands (yes, thousands!) of hands. She uses her scientific and spiritual skills to help people discover their life purpose, and then gives them the tangible tools to help pursue it. So, how did a discerning gal like Roberta shift gears to follow her passion in life? Let’s ask Roberta. |
|
 When did you have your SoulNudge? |
| I decided to change careers and ended up being unemployed for almost a year! Every door I knocked on refused to open. I was miserable. Then a friend suggested that I have my hands analyzed and I said, “Sure, I’ll try anything at this point!”
I was so blown away by the session that I started working with that hand analyst on a weekly basis for my own personal growth. After a while, she suggested that I consider Hand Analysis as a career option. I told her she was crazy, but she kept after me and finally I relented.
As soon as I committed to the International Institute of Hand Analysis (IIHA) certification program, I was offered the perfect job that allowed me to make enough money to live and flexible hours so I could go to the IIHA training classes. Before I made that commitment, I couldn’t get a job to save my life!

| What resources help you live your dream? |
| Well, friends, family, and colleagues are huge supports that spur me on by offering ideas, suggestions, and hitting me with a reality check when I need it! Beyond that, Carolyn Myss’s book Sacred Contracts was a huge influence and Dr. Chritiane Northrup offers some amazing insights. |
| What life lesson would you like to share with others? |
| It’s so important to “surrender to your destiny” as Carolyn Myss says, trusting that even though it looks like you are going to crash, the Universe will catch you at the last moment. Or if you do crash, that there is a great learning for you in the process that needed to happen. Ask yourself the question posed by Archangel Zadkeil, “If it does not bring you joy, why are you doing it?” |
| What type of people do you attract to your practice? |
| There are three types: 1) those that want desperately to make a change in their life and don’t have a clue as to how to go about doing that, 2) those that are just embarking on their path and are looking for some direction, 3) and those that have been on their path for a while and know it’s time to take their life to the next level. |
| What is your life's mission? |
| My mission is to help people recognize and understand their unique life purpose and to give them tangible tools with which to pursue it. |

| When did you have your SoulNudge? |
| Along the way, I’ve had several SoulNudges! The first one happened in 1990. But first, a little historique for you: as a child being raised by my grandparents down a dirt road in rural Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, I spent many hours singing. It was my sanctuary and my escape from loneliness. I would sing everywhere and my microphone was most often a hairbrush!
After high school, I attended university and became a teacher. As a French second language teacher, I would integrate song as often as the curriculum would allow.
Then, one September morning in 1990, I suddenly lost my speech and my memory. Although the episode lasted only several minutes, I knew something was not right. A CT scan revealed that I had a brain tumor the size of a large plum on the left side. The tumor was pressing against the area of the brain that controls speech and memory. I needed surgery and I was afraid.
The surgery proved to be successful. Neither my speech nor memory was affected. Many others who had had similar tumors suffered strokes after surgery. I was spared that. Then, the SoulNudge came! If I still have speech and memory, should I be doing something different? Is the Universe trying to send me a message?
Maybe. But did I listen? Not right away. I needed more nudges!
I received yet another in 1996 on stage in Ottawa. A group of friends had formed a band, hired Cape Breton fiddle master Buddy MacMaster, and headed off to Ottawa to perform at a wonderful amphitheatre known as Barrymore’s. It was Cape Breton night in the Canada’s capital city and we were in fine form. To this day, that night remains the best night of my life. I caught the performing bug on that stage!
Today, I’m celebrating the release of my 2nd CD. Its appropriately entitled Finally Home.

| What resources help you live your dream? |
| I’ve had many resources help me along. Knowing that I needed to overcome inner blocks, I’ve read many authors including Shakti Gawain, John Bradshaw, Wayne Dyer, Melodie Beattie, and countless others. Shakti Gawain’s ‘Pink Bubble Technique’ has been a favorite exercise in manifesting my career in music. |
| What life lesson did you learn? |
| You’ve been given a gift: use it. Make a difference in your own way. |
| What life learning would you like to share with others? |
| Follow your dream and you will find fulfillment. Make the world a better place every day. There is room for everyone. |
