Recently, I experienced a moment where I "felt" a tiny bit of the loneliness some people may experience when it seems you are alone in this big world. It was just for a few seconds but it was enough. To feel as if, in the midst of all these people, you are not seen..or felt. It's actually physically painful. I mean, it's a physical feeling of pain...I felt it right in the middle part of my torso, from my chest bone to my belly button.
This season brings out three types of people...those who get so revitalized, you can sense the optimism in the air and the good feelings continue to flow through the new year. Others just try to make it through all of the hustle and bustle with a sane mind and not-so-empty pockets. But for others, this is the loneliest season there is, almost unbearably so.
The last group mentioned are the ones I'm addressing. I had the experience for a quick moment but I can't begin to say I know how you feel.
It's been on my heart to create a space ...a welcoming and judgement-free space of warmth, understanding and openness. I'm in the process of figuring out exactly what platform to use for this movement and I know I need to figure it out soon. Maybe I just need to do something, anything to get it started...and let it evolve on it's own.
With that thought, I'll begin...right here, right now. *wow...I'm using my own business name, concept (and tattoo!) on myself! lol... With that being said, join me!!! I'm going to start with a Facebook Group...I'll name it ..."Connections", at least for now. Maybe the name will change in the future but I need to start somewhere, right?
"Connections" will be a space where you can come when you need someone to talk to or someone to just listen. And like the name says, to connect with others. So, with that, I'm off to create the page. Come join me when you can...I look forward to seeing you there. :-)
