perspective with infinite possibility

This week I was blessed to have a few moments where I thought to myself -- I love my life, and I love what I do (as my job). Like today, during a wrap session with a client who I've been seeing since May -- he said to me, I attribute my ability to have perspective in all areas of my life and the ability to see infinite possibility for my future all to the work that we've done together. When he first called me in May he said his ship was off center -- he couldn't seem to get it aligned. And he was ready to fix that. And so he brought dedication, motivation and commitment and as a result, a few months later he reaps the benefits. It's been incredible to watch him go inward and determine what he needed to live the life he wanted to be living. Powerful.

I was also quite moved by my first meeting as an official volunteer of Our House. That's right, I made it through the 3 days of training and was invited to be a volunteer support group co-lead. And I've been assigned a group of "young widows and widowers" which means people in their 20s/30s/40s who have lost a partner/spouse/wife/husband. Wow, intense. So I've started my supervision groups (where we meet as co-leads with the staff of Our House) and on Oct 25th I'll start co-leading with my group who I'll stay with for 18 months. 18 months -- a full year and half. I'm so taken by the thought of all that can and will happen for these people in 18 months. And I'm so reminded of my own grief journey and what those first 6, 12 and 18 months were like. I feel so incredibly blessed be able to walk the line with these folks and take part in them learning how to live again -- after the worst possible experience of their life.

So there you have it. On this Friday evening I sit where with my adorable dog snuggled up next to me and I'm wallowing in how wonderful life truly is -- and how blessed I feel to truly love mine. xoxo
