Trusting our own experiences
“What if a woman were to allow herself to trust her own unhappiness and to make life changes – changes that would allow time and place for her to experience her life as it lives itself out slowly, moment by moment? to allow herself time and place to be present to her own burning fire, the water springing from the rock of her own experience…
What if a woman trusted her own tears enough to listen to them, to make real changes in her individual schedule, and to see if those changes spread to her ofice, her committee, her religious group?
What if she trusted her anger, her irritation, her illness, even her depression, as signs that her own life was calling to her?”
Judith Duerk, Circle of Stones, Woman’s Journey To Herself.
Tonight I’m holding my first Speaking Circle in several months. Being able to really be present to ourselves is, to me, one of the greatest blessings of a Speaking Circle. When people ask me why I get so excited when I speak of Circles, this is why…the opportunity to explore and be supported and nourished by the group and what we discover. This is the richness. This is what I want to have more of.

Not ready to go "gently in to that good night?" Me neither! We have too much to offer the world to go into hiding! And every day offers new opportunities to come out of hiding and shine our lights.
Shawn,
I look forward to hearing more about your speaking circle and possibly participating myself.
Take care,
Michelle
