Experience of life:
Feeling disharmony within a team environment

Entrepreneurship. Sometimes The Beatles explains it best.

The long and winding road
Sums it up.

And that winding road will never disappear as we continue to evolve, as our visions expand, and as we fearlessly fail forward with hope and enthusiasm. This past week, the winding road felt more like Groundhog Day as my continuous efforts were leading to nowhere. I needed to stop and ask for…

Help!
I needed somebody. And not just anybody. I needed help from my inner circle of caring, kind, big-hearted friends who also happen to be fellow collaborators. With gratitude, I felt their strong sense of support through messages, suggestions, and gestures. Yes…

I get by with a little help from my friends
Even though we’re not always in harmony, even when we often sing out of key, there’s always someone willing to lend an ear. So I can…

Let it be
As I surrender, I trust in the Universe that the answers will appear. It may not always be in the way, shape, or form I expect. So what?

Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da
Life goes on.

Incidentally, I once won some money on a TV show singing a snippet of Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da in front of a live studio audience. I ended up in third place. Yay! Out of four people. Not quite so yay. But hey, I’ll take my wins as they come.

Maybe if I knew all the lyrics…

 

Curious to know your archetype and how I can support you?

Do you think someone else would find this useful?

Do you feel called to support my work?
