Support Feels Great

With support it is much easier to move forward into the next logical step.

It feels important to share an experience from within the circle from this week.

Sunday, one of us shared that she wanted something to be different in her relationship with her parents.  We all discussed this in circle and she felt very supported and as a result, early in the week this week, she decided she wanted to have a conversation with her parents about the subject that had stirred in her.  As she made a commitment to herself to take the step to set up the time for the conversation, she shared both the commitment and the nervousness with the circle on-line.  Within moments, she received this response from another circle member: “I would love to get a call from you afterward to hear how it goes. Will you call me?”  In that moment, she felt deeply held and celebrated for taking this courageous action, and the nervousness dropped away.

She had the conversation and experienced completely unexpected, amazing results.  Today, she offered the support of a “Would you be willing to call me because I would love to hear how it went?” phone call to another woman, who was both moved and overjoyed at the opportunity.

This is a very simple example of what this circle is for.  Not exclusively by any means; the circle is for supporting each other in everything in life.  I am grateful for the women in this circle and for all of the women who meet in circles all over the world.  We make a difference.  Each of us can say with confidence "I make the world a better place to be."
