courage to seek

things have been going well. When I returned from my trip


my coworkers really let me know that they had missed me. Hugs all around.


It was so nice. It just affirmed my sense of community after having


worked there for 10 years now, and also it gave me a kind of nudge to


also look at my work, and my volunteering with the Treepeople and my involvement


with the CMATO and just appreciate it all. It gave me a sense


to myself to recognize MY community. 


I'm realizing that so much of our journey requires some courage


and steadfastness to hold fast and tight to our dreams.


It is one thing to imagine, and then another to commit to the creation and journey


forth. Courage is key and also tenacity.


Have a peaceful and wonderful day!

i buy the notion that it takes far more courage to reach for happiness than it takes to stew in misery.

so often someone might propose a dream to follow on through with.
It might be a lovely beautiful dream, but it also might not be MY dream.
There might be a sense of 'shoulds' about what's proposed and I'll be open
to that but it's important to step back and keep on my path. HOLD TIGHT!
EVEN IF YOU DON'T KNOW YOUR DREAM - STICK WITH WHAT FEELS RIGHT!

You write with such inspiring words, Marky.

Tenacity is a good one. Staying determined and focused. Maybe even if it’s not a concrete “dream” to aspire to, maybe it’s meant to be more abstract with feeling of what a dream should entail. It makes it more achievable in my mind.

Happy St Pattys!

even people share and work toward the same dreams, we each have our own visions to guide us in how to fulfill those dreams. even there, it remains important to remain true to yourself. good teams are built on contrast, not duplication. it wouldn't be much of a super bowl with a team of nothing but quarterbacks.

bee you. everybody else is taken.
