Welcome,
Recently, the college where my two sons, many years ago, had their high school education set tasks for students to “fail” in a week of exercises.
They called it GRIT week – GRIT standing for Growth Resides In Trying – and helping these students to embrace failure and increase resilience. I like to call it: Growth (with awareness) Results In Transformation!
We have all needed resilience during this past challenging year and we have all needed GRIT to create positive outcomes in this changing paradigm of reality.
In my small back courtyard where I have my drying clothes line a little spider resides and each day, week after week, it spins its web in exactly the same spot. It is a most inappropriate position as, when I place my washing on the line the web gets destroyed (I can’t avoid it) and on some other days it gets blown apart by strong wind or rain. This spider has GRIT – each morning there is a newly created beautiful web in the same position. It is not giving up – each day is a new beginning! It is wonderful to see.
We also need to have grit – to continue our lives with determination not to give in to the difficulties we may face. Remember we are as the caterpillar in the cocoon (I have discussed in past newsletters) and we are changing to become a butterfly (using your imagination!) – and it is hard going in this transformation time. We are nearly there!
We will do well to stay strong enough for this metamorphosis to complete.
As this year comes to an end, open your heart and share your love and kindness with all humanity and especially to those who are important in your life. Celebrate being here – it has taken courage – keep your vibration high with joy and laughter. Embrace all you have with gratitude in this vastly different festive season.
With joy and love. I am shining my sparkly light for you to catch!!
