Hey Good People,
How are you? It's been a while so I hope this email reaches everyone in a good place! I've been very good, happily occupied in work & play and starting the countdown for my 25th birthday party - NOVEMBER 21ST - that hopefully everyone can make. It's been months since I've seen most of you and I'd love to know how you're doing.
I just wanted to regroup with this sounding board because lately, I've been generally unmoved to write. Of course there's always funny things running through this head of mine but that's not the issue at hand; it's simply time to spend more energy supporting the 'we' as opposed to the 'I.'
Recently, a few close friends and I have spoken at length about dealing with relationships, mostly in regards to having the attention to tend to self and others versus needing to retreat and get our emotions together to then face the world and our loved ones again. Those interactions can be work, family, love, mentor to peer, or friend relationships but no matter how big or small, sometimes we need to just claim our moment to clear our heads and plant our feet again.
Now that we've entered the fourth quarter of the year - and thank the Lord I am finishing strong cause I wasn't so sure about this year a few months ago - I feel like 2009 has been the year of relating: understanding myself in relation to the world and others. I have continually repeated this to myself as I've experienced various highs and lows and highs again, exposed self-criticisms and greatnesses, and discovered more of what I want from myself and what I hope for in this life. Growth is not always comfortable but I am getting used to squirming, asking even more questions than I have posed to you, and making the most of every moment given.
All in all, I am deeply appreciative for all of you. I am so excited that quite a few of you have connected in ways that have changed lives, and I can only hope that we use this circle for the betterment of each other. I desire less to use this forum to speak about myself, and more as a support to encourage each other's growth and providing a universal sounding board. I am currently moving through how to best utilize this awesome community. Hopefully we can do so as I continually reach out and email-harass most of you on a weekly basis. :)
If I have not spoken to you in a while, please please please write back (not reply all!) and let me know what's been going on in your life. I know everyone's transitioning, so please let me know if there's anything I can do to lend a helping hand.
Peace and Love Always!!!
XOXO
