A Conversation:
Connie: I have a good friend who just got home last week from a retreat . . . she had some amazing epiphanies and now her whole life is in turmoil!
Me: That's awesome! It sounds like an exciting time!
Connie: (smirking at me) You just love it when people are miserable, don't you?
Me: Not at all. What I love is transformation in people's lives! You misunderstand the enthusiasm. It's not because there is suffering, it's because transformation, deep change and new beginnings often are accompanied by hard times.
Connie: Well, yeah. Her whole life is turned upside down, her relationships are struggling and she is feeling scared.
Me: I hear ya. I really do understand. Life is telling her it's time to change, to evolve. It is also communicating to all those she is in relationship with. It takes courage and trust to let go of what we know and jump into the unknown; to allow the fear and pain and dance with it! It's the evolution that is exciting! It's the freedom on the other side! It's the faith that is gained when we flow with all of Life's changes! That is what I love!
Connie: hmmm.
