The ripples of my actions to be of service, to connect, are growing. Instead of attenuating, they amplify. Bouncing off others, my ideas of connection catch on and spread. Many variants of my "Coffee with Michelle" have been started by others within my circles of influence. I start to see that I can help people who live in places outside of Tucson, Arizona to feel better.
I am blazing new ground here. I feel the storm coming as the ripples become bigger and bigger. They grow into large waves. It's an uncomfortable place for me. And it is necessary to stand in the storm. To not shrink back from the waves or to hide from connection. My instinct is to run, to shelter inside a dark cave. This is the lull before the storm when I gather myself for the plunge, the leap off a cliff. Into the heart of the storm. I take with me belief that I am strong enough for this.
My thanks to my friend Gail for letting me know that the blog before last felt like a cliff-hanger. When I turned my observing eye towards myself, I truly saw myself... the effect of my efforts. So, is it working yet? Yes, it is.
I love to hear from you. Please reply in the comments or by email. As you can see, you affect my work and I do it with you.
