Activity

About a month ago, in the space of a few days, I had arrangements to connect with 4 different people, separately, via message or phone. All 4 of these people, in one way or another, either canceled or went silent in messages. There was a tiny part of me that took it as rejection, for a small period of time. I mean, 4 different people, how could it not be me?… But, I didn’t make it about me, ultimately (even if it was, it didn’t matter). I reached out to one of these people again just last week out of genuine concern for them. Heard back from her and not sure if we’ll reconnect but not attached either way. Another one of these people just got back to me after a month of not addressing my message, with an apology. There was legitimately no apology necessary. I wasn’t invested in a story about it being about me. Nor was I making her, myself or any of the other 3 people wrong for it. So, my way of connecting is to reach out to these people again. As I mentioned, I’ve already messaged one and heard back and I’ll return the message of the one who just got back to me and I’ll do so without any attachment to how I’m received. This will be an opportunity to lead with my light. I’m also connecting with a new friend and her husband. She’s actually a spiritual life coach and reiki master who we met through our kids sporting activities several months ago and who lives in our area. My wife, who is more friends with her than I am and has begun/deepened in her own process as a result of their connection, and myself are going to their place for dinner. Really excited and happy about this connection because she knows a little bit about my own journey, such as my connection to coaching and spirituality and I’m interested in sharing more of my story with her as a way of expressing my truth in a space that feels safe, without attachment to needing it to be safe.
