There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under the heavens:  Ecclesiastes 3

Many of you know that I am, personally, in a time of change of my life focus and energy. I have been graced with helping two groups from positions of leadership for the last few years, and that season for me is passing.

It is time to transfer the energy and commitment I’ve happily (mostly) given to people and groups I honor. The time is now for that energy to flow toward more personal dreams.

I am exiting where and what I have been to open the space/time to be another expression of myself that is creative in a very different way. My camera has basically been idle for these last years and it’s now time to pick it up and move into that which has been set aside for too long.

“Once we believe in ourselves, we can risk curiousity, wonder,
spontaneous delight or any experiences that
reveals the human spirit.” e e cummings

For whatever reason or whatever, I’ve been so busy with things that needed doing, I’ve kind of missed the actual home-work. So, that’s the plan. Time to do me in whatever, wherever and with whomever I am graced with encountering.

“Consider the computer metaphor for yourself. You’ve taken in so much
information, and heard so many instructions. That’s enough input.
It’s time for output. Run the program. Stop interrupting yourself
with new information. Let yourself execute one plan of action,
and see it through to fruition. Derek Sivers Useful Not True, page 73.

Or to phrase it another somewhat more elegant way: Unfurl yourself into the grace of beginning That is at one with your life’s desire. Awaken your spirit to adventure; Hold nothing back, learn to find ease in risk; Soon you will be home in a new rhythm, For your soul senses the world that awaits you. John O’Donohue, To Bless the Space Between Us – A New Beginning.

Thank you one and all for the gifts given, the time shared and the lessons learned. See you sometime. In Peace, Mariann
