PERSEVERANCE

It has been 3 days of perseverance. The private calendar of events that I was attempting to create for the Facilitators and Master Facilitators was not cooperating. I am dedicated to bringing things into simple harmony, and this feat was no different.

As I tried different approaches, I was growing weary from the vision in my mind not matching what the technology was able to deliver. The delicate balance of vision vs. view was what had kept me going. This same, vision vs. view, is what was slowing me down. Deflating my hopes.

Counter-balancing this, were the beautiful Virtues Project Angels who sent a steady stream of emails, abundant with acknowledgments and gratitude. It buoyed me to hear their thoughtful and caring words and I persevered.

I noticed that each time I tried a new approach, and it failed to meet my vision, I felt closer to the view... like the next thing would be THE ONE. This only makes sense now that I am re-viewing it from this angle.

During the discouraged moments, the view was depressing. At one point yesterday, I even sent an email across the world saying that I had resigned myself to the format that we started with - which was far from my vision. I had given up hope. I detached.

Then, an associate sent me a sample of something and it rekindled inspiration again... awakening perseverance. In a single hour, I had created almost the exact view to match my vision. My task was done.

I am thankful for the gift of Perseverance. It kept me going.

A Bit About Me

(Re:Visioned on Nov 23, 2020) I AM in TRUSTed to the idea that the whisperings of my Soul have always been calling me to these times. That this present day and the here & now is what I was guided to. To TRUST the action: to 'call a circle' of others who are committed to helping make the world a better place NO MATTER WHAT SHAPE IT'S IN... it's go time! (Read my Birthday 2020 blog post to catch up) TODAY I BEGIN CALLING A CIRCLE and here is my intention - to gather people who: appreciate & benefit from healing stories as they navigate their own; can hear my self-care story & daily journey to help themselves stay on track with their own stuff; and can be witnessed in their story while encourage space for others to support the whole circle. I AM excited to see who's showing up and where it will take us. See my Blog Page to join the circle.
