Much earlier in life I read works by great statesmen, orators, military leaders, expecting that greatness would rub off on me. Osmosis?
In my life now I have quietly set about finding encouragement and support from small groups of kind, smart, caring folks. Just as you’ve done today, I find inspiration in your writing and aspirations.
With the words that result, I’m always grateful for your running.
I don’t know if I do handle it. Change. There’s been so much in and around me. I go limp sometimes and let it take me. I go rigid and fight it. Somewhere in the middle, I find companionship with it. It just is. I place my trust in it and where we will go. Together.
Your words are so important to me. They help me through some difficult things and help me to deal with "stuff"! Thank you for your special words!! Love you!!!
Thank you Claudette for reading along. I want people to know they are not alone and it's possible to get through this. xox First snowfall today— Happy November!
Yes, life is a verb
We must learn to surf the waves
Grace under pressure
As you describe, we have so many choices to help us scale our Everest. Sherpas everywhere to help guide. Choose wisely and summit…!
Choose wisely and summit…!
Love this...thank you Clark.

Good morning Gary,
You made my day! I'm so grateful we have connected here. Keep up the great work! Progress over perfection. (that reminder is for me)
Enjoy the first day of November,
Julie

Thank you for this question. 🙏🏻
I love this honest reflection Linda. Thank you. You're not alone.
“It looked different than I had planned yet not fighting it and accepting where I was, kept me calm.”
And once I consciously rolled through what you described above, it made it easier to do it again the next time!
I “wanted” to publish Poise before the end of 2022. I didn’t finish writing it until June or July 2023. 🤷♀️
I become more and more comfortable with kairos over chronos.
Hi Gail,
Thank you for this new word "kairos" I admit, I had no idea what you meant and now I do. :) "right time" over "clock time" I love this! :)
AND I'm so happy you published Poise when you did. Congratulations again.
IIRC I came across the explanation of chronos/kairos in Simple Abundance by Sarah Ban Breathnach.
If the book ever crosses your path, take a peek. Lovely daily meditations that I read on repeat… new take-aways every time. ❤️
Thank you so much for the book recommendation. Adding it to my list. :)
You might find it at a half price books of a library sell-off. I think it’s from the 80s or 90s. The content is timeless.
Your words are so important to me. They help me through some difficult things and help me to deal with "stuff"! Thank you for your special words!! Love you!!!
Thank you Faith for receiving them. xoxo. Love you and its a day to catch snowflakes on our eyelashes!
Thank you for sharing your struggle. I know it encourages many people!

Thank you Aransas! Making progress. :)
