So, on reflection, one of my measures of success in persistence and therefore I am back, despite some setbacks to resume my commentary. What have I learned by virtue of my absence:
- Just do it - write for a little while, every day if at all possible. It doesn't really matter how much or how little and then put it out there and wait for reactions and feedback.
- Use what's happening around me compared to what I have come to value to draw conclusions and share them through my stories.
- A little often is better for me than none at all in a quest for perfection and satisfaction. 80/20 is my mantra in this endeavour.
...and so I have returned and will share with you as often as I can. Please give me your feedback as it helps me to remain connected (a critical part of my purpose), to re-examine my perspective, my aspirations, my goals, how I chose to spend my time and even my purpose.
For 30 meagre minutes today, I have spent time on my blog and feel better for it and I hope you do to.
Over the past week, I have seen people who I am close to rewarded for their commitment, despite the challenges they have been confronted with. Their lives will be better for that recognition as I am sure will be the lives of others.
Thank you Amy and Bec for your persistence and commitment despite the challenges. Your careers as an HR professional and a Paramedic/Nurse are a reflection of both your capability and your character. This fills me with pride and gratitude for the example you both continue to set for me.
So, like you, I am rising to the challenge and blogging on...
