I have a hard time with November. It's all about letting go, shedding the old to make way for the new. I was a little apprehensive about starting this initiative for Room to Read at this time of year when people want to let go instead of create and build. I was with my friends today and we were talking about the power of intention, how it's present in the seed unseen, underground in the frigid January earth. We talked about how each seed has it's potential already lined up for itself; the oak tree knows what it's destined to do as does the rabbit, the horse, the lion ( you get the picture.) We were talking about what we were put on this earth to do; "what's my purpose?" "what drives me?" It made me realize that maybe I'm shedding that old corporate hat in favor of one more humanitarian. I'm living more on-purpose, driven by what I'm meant to do. Maybe this is a harbinger of good things to come!
It's about 10:00 pm (there's no rest for the Virtual Assistant! :) ) and I was just wrapping up some projects when I receive a post from the Lake Champlain Regional Chamber of Commerce in Burlington. They've posted my press release on helping Room to Read. It's so nice to have help from so many different sources!
Marie Thomas wants to have the kids in her son's class donate in honor of their teacher. I saw a post on Richmond Area Business Association's website for my business. Isn't it amazing how when we set our vision to something broader, people feel the energy and ignite the spark into an all-out flame? I feel so fortunate to be surrounded by all of this good will toward our cause and toward my business. It's easy to fall into the "go it alone" mentality, especially when you're the sole entrepreneur running the show. I'm learning to shed that paradigm in favor of reaching out to my family, my community and creating a circle of trusted friends who can help me manifest my dreams. Thanks for joining me on the journey.
