Puzzle Pieces
When I accepted the invite to attend the January 2020 Leaders retreat organized by CivSource, I felt like I was going to yet another one of those leadership gatherings that I get pumped with too much information and no plan or strategy on how to implement or apply anything in my life. In my mind, I had already decided that if it was one of those, I would simply find excuses to leave every now and then and spend more time with my five-month old Daughter who I had gone with.
My creativity had dwindled. My head was foggy, always fearful. I was snappy at everything and everyone
See, I knew something was missing in my life but I could not put a finger to it. My creativity had dwindled. My head was foggy, always fearful. I was snappy at everything and everyone. I had no clear answer for anything. Happy today, sad tomorrow or just a flat mood. I know what I am supposed to do but bringing myself do to it seemed unattainable.
From day one at the retreat I found the missing piece of the puzzle in my life and all of a sudden, I knew what had happened to my joy, happiness, creativity, kindness, drive and free spirit. I was introduced to things I had never heard of that make perfect sense and I am fully convinced that it is what I need.
The only word that kept running through my head during and after the retreat is Healing.
To Jackie, thank you for inviting me encouraging me to be a better me.
To CivSource, thank you for organizing this retreat. The location is amazing. the scenery is very beautiful. It’s altogether a beautiful experience.
Forever grateful.
