I apologize for my lack of participation with this blog. It has been a whirlwind of activity. First, I spent a few days “roughing it” at a statewide 988 training. My room was a time machine that threw me back to the 1970s. Wood paneling. So much paneling. I would have enjoyed my balcony with the incredible views of the leaves changing on the trees, but there was a wasp nest outside my door and the stink bugs had apparently ignored my EPO. It was fine. It was quiet. It was like my own little retreat from the testosterone that resides in my home. I learned a lot and am grateful for the reminders on how lucky Louisville is to have so many resources to offer those in crisis.
I came back to a full schedule at work. While I took this job as a part-time gig, I am finding that I am slowly being given various opportunities. Next week I am being trained to be a team leader and Mobile Crisis Unit dispatcher. This was totally out of my realm of what this job would entail, but I have learned to trust the process.
My volunteer position with Hosparus kicked up too with the addition of one more sweet lady. I have four that I visit on Tuesdays and that, my friends, fills me up. In a world of hate and disharmony, this puts me in a place of compassion, love, and gratitude. If the world is too much for you, being of service to others can bring you back to a place of peace. It has been life-changing for me.
Lastly, I had the most pleasant opportunity to do a colon cleanse in preparation for my colonoscopy. What a treat!!! By now, you would think that there would be an easier way of prepping for this procedure, but I assume it is because a man is in charge which is why everything – including mammograms – have never evolved into something more efficient and less painful. I digress. The procedure went well and I am cleared to wait ten years before I have to experience that process again. Sweet. Baby. Jesus.
Life is an interesting journey. Sometimes I wonder if my GPS is malfunctioning with all the surprise destinations that I am visiting. Living in the question allows me to continue to be curious and continuously be inspired by where I end up.
