Letters from the Executive Director
Written by Juli Somers
“I said, I like my life. If I have to give it back, if they take it from me, let me only not feel I wasted any, let me not feel I forgot to love anyone I meant to love, that I forgot to give what I held in my hands, that I forgot to do some little piece of the work that wanted to come through.” -Marge Piercy
As I look back over this past year, one of the most unusual of my life, I am in awe of how the mystery of Spirit can come in and shake me like one of those snow scenes. “Oh, you want to grow, do you?” Shake, shake, shake. I just try to surrender as the flakes land in foreign new places. I really do try.
As the calendar turns to a new year, I find myself reflecting on all the experiences that showed up to facilitate growth in my life this past year. At the beginning of 2006, I set two strong intentions that I feel guided my year. The first intention resulted from our Setting Intentions Workshop in 2005 and it was to open my heart and know more about love. The second intention was set a month later in Brazil on a healing pilgrimage and that was to be of greater service.
What a year! At the end of that trip a long time friend of mine became paralyzed by an injury and four days after returning from Brazil I was in Kentucky. As I write this, I am just returning from my ninth trip to Kentucky this year. I’m pretty sure I learned about being of greater service. Or at the very least I’ve gotten good at breaking down wheelchairs and emptying bedside commodes. Do I know more about love? I believe so. I certainly hope so. Mostly I learned love is to give of myself. And as I give of myself, I experience love.
I can’t say that 2006 was an easy year. But I can say that I made many life enhancing choices; some brought me joy, some brought me sadness, and all of them gave me the opportunity to deepen in my relationship with Spirit. And yes, I would say that love and the desire to be of greater service motivated me on many occasions. I am one who would much rather feel vitally alive than be congratulating myself that life feels easy. I want to think that whatever I have to give doesn’t lay dormant inside of me. And hopefully I keep getting a bit more skillful in the ways I give of myself. What is your intention for this new blessed year of life? May you welcome this great new adventure and trust that you are growing your soul.
