Create the life you really want.
Patrice Koerper, MSM, RPCV, Speaker, Life Coach
Hi, I’m Patrice Koerper.
I believe that when we change ourselves, we change the world. I also believe that the happier and more fulfilled we are, the happier and more peaceful the world becomes.
About 10 years ago, I began gently and patiently exploring how to create the life I really wanted. I slowed down, stepped back a bit from the life I was leading, began asking myself lots of questions and really listened to my answers. The process helped me decide how I wanted my life to look and feel, and I’ve been living my life that way ever since.
My journey has taken me many places. First stop was an honest look inside myself – the toughest journey of all. I hired a life coach to help me with that. I then used the support and insights I gained to help me create the life I really wanted, which led me to three exciting years as a volunteer with the United States Peace Corps in Macedonia.
There my journey came full circle, when I realized that when we change ourselves, we change the world. And, not necessarily by making major life changes, but by believing change is possible. When you accept that change is possible, others will too, and then all sorts of doors will open – for everyone. That’s how Wishful Thinking Works.
I’m back in the States, and I’m thrilled to be using my education, experiences, professional background and life coaching certification, along with proven positive psychology research, tips and techniques to help people, just like you, change their lives and the world for the better. You can do it! There is no doubt in my mind.
This blog is a part of my Wishful Thinking Works journey. I share what I’ve learned, what I enjoy, what I’m discovering and what lies ahead. I am glad you have joined me. I hope my journey helps you.
Please let me know what you are thinking. We have so much to learn from each other. Your comments inspire me, and may inspire others, as well. Your thoughts might be just what someone else needs to hear.
Warm regards,
Patrice Koerper

My dearest friend, your ability to take away my words (something that I keep with million soldiers and tiers) and put a gentle smile on my face proved to me that I would like to be in life exactly where you are now… I have never used a blog, really do not know how it works, even this comment is a wishful thinking for me… but I am sure that I will like it and will do it , just as so many other things you made me loving and admiring… And just to spice things a little bit – I envy you on the time you have only for yourself, your soul, your body, your mind… ) p.s macedonialovesyou.com

I was born in Bitola and lived there for the most of my life. Macedonian nature was my “second nature”
and I have so many friends there, including Dean Makarijoski – the artist. I am very proud to see that other people respect and appreciate the real quality of life there. Even now after some years in Sydney, I still think that people can learn a lot from “small” things that can give us “big” lessons in life.

Hi Zoki,
I love your comment, thank you for sharing your thoughts. I am looking at Dan’s art as I write; I love his work and bought many of his paintings, as did my friends. Such a nice way to keep Macedonia in view. I hope to be back in Bitola in May and June, I will mention you to him. If you make it back there before me, tell him I said “Hi”! Prejetno.
