We all want connection - to our family and friends and colleagues and partners... to our work, our community, to nature, to the larger world. And all that connection begins with the core connection, the one that is the foundation for personal growth: connecting into ourselves in the body in the moment.
I began my talk last Wednesday evening at the West Vancouver Womens Network saying just that. And, experts at connnection that they are with their regular practice of networking, I could see it resonated with them. I introduced them to the idea of loving their vulnerable selves, and invited them to have and hold their experience in the light of their reflective awareness. We spent the hour connecting into our bodies, into ourselves, and mattering.
And here I am right now touched by my own desire for connection. I want it too. And your beautiful heartful brave sharing on last week's blog, as well as on so many previous posts, moves me. I feel that my passion for growth is met with your courage - and together we are creating a community of people who are becoming more authentic and resilient and related with others.
I am connecting with you, you are connecting with yourselves and with me and with each other.
We are deepening our ability to notice the discomfort of our call to growth, to feel the twinges and tightenings in the body, and we continue to practice coming home, even when we do not feel good. And we are sharing our journey with each other, in a warm, interested and nonjudgemental dialogue. I am so grateful to you.
Thank you for connecting. 
We are all so worth it.
