Regina,
I think of you often and hope you are well. I believe that your Walks will be a valued service for people in need of closure, or just in need. Here’s to your success! RN
I read this email while making it up that I can’t make a difference for people. You see, I get scared to put my work out in the world, thinking that it’s not big enough, that I don’t have a huge “tribe”, that my message isn’t clear.
I noticed the time that this email had been written. It was at the exact time that I was in the Landmark Education Self Expression and Leadership Program when I was doing what’s called “running my Act.” That’s when I’m putting up a front, resisting showing up as my powerful self. For me, that’s saying, “This is too hard for me, I don’t want to play this game.” I was resisting creating a community project as a vehicle for this training, claiming that the criteria are too limiting, too restrictive, not supportive of my life right now. Blah. Blah. Blah. All a cover for “I’m afraid to get out there and make a difference because I don’t believe I can!”
Well, guess what? I already have! Time to believe it – and get out and play!
Where are you not playing? Not contributing? Holding back? Being afraid?
