It happened so fast, yet it felt like an eternity.
As of Memorial Day weekend, almost everything is getting back to so-called “normal.”
It’s hard to believe what has happened in the last 15 months.
As a professional singer, I’ve been singing to a masked congregation for several months and they have not been allowed to sing! It's hard to comprehend that! I've sung to them with a mask on for months. When I finally took mine off it was the strangest feeling I have ever had. As a performer, these people hadn’t seen me smile, hadn’t seen my expression, and didn't know what I was trying to convey as I stood at the altar week after week trying desperately to make my voice cut through the cloth that divided us.
Now, I could see them searching my face – as though they were tracing
each movement and expression.
Now, I could tell by the corner creases of their eyes, that behind those masks,
they were smiling…
And then the announcement came: As of Sunday, they too can sing! The congregation erupted with excitement. So, with great anticipation, I will now see people and their faces sing their praises! Their voices will rise up and we shall rejoice!
Can you believe it’s almost Summer?
With the unofficial start of the summer season upon us, I also paused and realized we are now half-way through the year! Did that sneak up on you too?
Do you find yourself wondering where the time has gone?
Or how to make a change for the better in the next six months?
What will 2021 look like for you when you think back in December?
What picture do you have in your mind that you want to create?
And how will you get there?
If you’re like me, you may find great strength in community, social learning, camaraderie, and trust among others who have similar desires like you. While we get excited for those sleepy summer breezes, indulging in good books and sizzling barbeques, this is also a great time to carve out some time for YOU, personally and professionally.
You’re invited!
Starting this month, I’ll be running virtual Summer Synergy Sessions to get us fired up!
If…You aren’t quite sure what you want to do yet, but you know that you are searching for change, going through a transition, or getting ready to unleash your creativity, this is the right place for YOU!
Why not take this step and join in!
If…You have a small business or are a solopreneur but need to talk through issues you’re facing and what might be holding you back from your full potential, this group is also for YOU!
We’ll meet each person at the stage they’re at – in a safe, honest, and trusting environment. Your strength is our strength, and our vulnerability to share our journey empowers each of us to strive and thrive!
If…You have a personal goal, want to learn a new skill, or complete a project you’ve put off for months, or years – you bet this is also for YOU!
We’ll meet once per month (on Zoom) from June to August to identify reasonable goals, set an action plan and share our progress every four weeks. By Labor Day weekend you’ll look back to see what you’ve accomplished and set yourself up to finish 2021 strong.
