Connection...with other people. I do think it's a key. You get to choose the way to connect. Close up or from a bit of a distance. You are in control of how much or how little you connect.
If you have been hurt and don't trust people hearing that connection to people is a key to caring for your soul can ring hollow to you. But I think you need to learn to trust again and connect slowly. Maybe very slowly...but connect all the same. That's what I think.
Connection can give you a sense of community and support and just pure joy. I like being alone. Sometimes. I have had very public work where I have been recognized by people I do not know. Sometimes that is lovely and other times it feels like a burden.
And while I like being alone...I get sheer joy from connection. Okay there are some connections that bring anything but joy...but you'll have that! :)
I want us...you and me this week to focus on connecting with people who could or do bring us joy. Once every day connect with someone. Maybe it will be someone from your past. Maybe you can find them on Facebook! Last night I got a message from someone I have not seen for several years and it was pure joy to see her message pop up. I will connect with her tonight.
Don't do this for any other reason than it feels good. And if it doesn't feel good...don't do it. This is about nurturing your soul...it's not about testing it in any way.
So for yourself...commit to connecting with seven people this week in a way you don't usually connect...and see what that does for your soul. Ya know I'll tell you what it does for mine :)
