Some more thoughts from my last post — a little progress report.<\/p>\n
I met with the director of volunteers at the Hospice of the Valley. I came away with an internal tension. One one end, I feel the calling to work the the dying and the grieving. On the other is the rest of my life, which involves parenting a lively child just entering kindergarten, being on the PTA, and being involved in other projects. The training for volunteers working with patients is intensive. However, they do have a need for administrative support, and the training for that is easier for me to attend. So I’ve contacted her to ask a few questions about time commitments, and so on. I feel that Life is saying to me that one step in that direction is sufficient, and that it’s not time yet to delve further.<\/p>\n
I’m on the waiting list to become trained as a SoulCollage facilitator at the next training. I hope I will get in. But then, if it doesn’t happen, it’s not the optimal moment. <\/p>\n
I have several challenges ahead of me regarding the PTA at Bean’s school. There are a number of transitions occurring, and the incoming board (of which I’m a part) has less experience than the previous. Tending to the needs of fundraising and community building needs to be my focus.<\/p>\n
We continue to attend the UU Fellowship in Los Gatos. I feel the path widening there, as though I’m entering a fulsome space of community. <\/p>\n
I’ve been working in bits and pieces on transitioning my art supplies to the office. <\/p>\n
And I continue to dwell in spacious curiosity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
