I got back from leading Valyermo yesterday, and I am dead tired.
However, it is obvious to everyone that I’ve been in a great mood. My heart is lifted and I feel loved. And I never thought that leading this retreat would be so rewarding. It wasn’t MY Valyermo retreat, I had been through it all before, I knew exactly what would happen when it did. But I didn’t, really. I’ve never felt so happy to be who I am than ever before. I left with the much-needed support to go on with my journey, new friends, closer relationships, and the knowledge that I’ve changed someone’s life.
And for those of you who now know, maybe it would be a good time for me to tell you that I was able to sleep perfectly last night. I don’t know how, but maybe it had to do with having a bunch of kids that I don’t even know hugging me and telling me that I’ve inspired them in ways unimaginable. This is just so unreal. Its better than any high I’ve had, to be honest.
As for today, I went to the Otis open house, mainly for my portfolio review. I lost my good luck ring that I usually wear on a necklace. So instead, I wore our bracelet. The funny thing is, that bracelet’s refused to stay on since we’ve stopped talking.
