I never imagined that the events of one week, all rooted in a simple gesture, could cause such change! Guess that seems like a silly thought given the state of the world in which we all live, but I had never experienced it so closely in my life outside of the death of a loved one...
What I'm getting at is how amazed I am by the outpouring of generosity that I have witnessed after being caught up in a media storm that ensued from I letter I sent home at work! I'm not going to get into any details...(just Google my name and you can read all about it)...but I have experienced the true human spirit at work... truth and justice overcoming deceit and cover ups, wrongs being righted, those that love and support me coming out in my defense, an outpouring of donations from around the country....I could go on, but in short, I must say that this week has been very humbling! The demonstration of strength and solidarity of the human spirit in moments of needs is remarkable!
All this assistance comes at a time when I am processing a bevy of emotions related to self-doubt...am I a good mom, wife, person, leader, human being? It helps to see, hear and feel all the support as I go through these feelings....it helps to reassure me....it helps to know others see me in a positive light! I've been deflecting these feelings of self-doubt onto many of my relationships, but I know that it's all part of the process...all part of me working out my junk!
So...this past week has been intense to say the least, but it draws to a close , much like this blog entry, with lessons learned, identities re-assured, and hopes for a better day....
