synchronicity

Clare,

Those are big lessons.
So, another question…
what is the purpose of this lifetime for you?

I really think my lesson is patience this incarnation.
Everything I've ever accomplished has taken patience…
and perseverance.
I think my purpose is to shine a light on interpersonal violence…
try to decrease it…
even if by only a few victims.
I had a conversation with a guidance counselor today…
we've been friendly for many years…
I invited her to join the board of the domestic violence shelter.
I was nervous asking…
she wants to hear more…
to consider what she can offer to the board.
She asked me how I came to serve on the board…
I remember going out with some of my students for Take Back the Night- 3+ years ago…
sponsored by the DV shelter…
organized by a university student.
I talked with people about the importance of spreading the word about the epidemic of interpersonal violence…
a woman overheard me and wanted to talk.
She asked me to consider going onto the board because of my passion to make a meaningful change occur…
I hadn't thought about that in a long time.
Synchronicity.

I will keep you posted on the foster issue.
I believe I am seeing the young man this week…
I hope I do.

I have been running around so much since I stopped working at the agency. Somehow I thought I'd spend more time at home, but I run every day. Today I spent the morning in the car…
and then worked on a project from home.
I've got to settle into this routine of being home.

Our vacation is coming up very quickly…
back to the island.
We have a lot of friends coming this time…
I've explained that I need this to be a vacation for me as well as the kids…
they understand and agree…
at least while we're here…
we shall see how well they remember once we are on the island.

Anyway, I've got to go pick up my youngest from football practice.
Love and Light beautiful sister,
Maggie
