Dearest WILD Community,
Can you believe March is coming to a close? It has been 3 short months since this project was birthed. And what I have to say is …
I. am. ASTOUNDED. By you.
In the past 3 months I have seen miracles-that blew the roof off of what I thought was possible.
- I have seen groups of relative strangers coming together in Circles all over North America sharing deeply, supporting one another, and kicking ass in their communities.
- I have heard brave voices step out and say, “I will lead. I will dare to let my voice be heard for the greater good.”
- I have seen people who used to roll their eyes at mediation, sit quiet with themselves.
- I have been on the receiving end of insurmountable generosity in countless forms.
- I have seen hearts bursting to give more, to do more.
- I have seen people dancing in street & paying their favorite books forward.
- I have seen heart centered hustling from people who want to do their part to contribute to the world in this time of enormous transformation.
I have hit my knees and prayed for the resources to keep this project growing. And have been answered by earth angels galore. I can not possibly take another step forward until I shout their names from the roof top of these here interwebs.
This is WILD woman Check in #4:
Part 1: Make a list of people you are grateful for and why.
