What was the last risk you took?

Was two weeks back when I did my 'hobby' workshop for everyone at my work place.

It was like a practice run for a young carer group I will be doing the workshop with at the end of June.

My workplace is a charity supporting informal carers. Many of my fellow work mates are professional counselors. I do the data entry and payments of invoices.

My workshop is called "Conversations Into Healing" and it is a combination of my ongoing 'conversations' with the universe, five minute writing exercises and a guided relaxation / meditation series inspired by my 50,000 word challenge in November last year.

I shared my intimate hobby with these people. And I survived it. We talked about conversations and the words we choose and why the words we choose matter. I told them about Dr Emoto's experiments (showing apparent links to words on water at the microscopic level).

We talked about healing and love. Noticing strengths and limits.

Some people listened, some people joined in with the writing and some people resisted what was being shared.

I learned that it didn't matter what I thought the experience 'should' be for everyone. All that mattered was that I be present in the moment with them.

20 people where there and received what ever it was I had to give them. I showed up, they showed up and I think it was all given and received with love.

I am capable in sharing my workshop with a large group. That was what I got from the 'risk' of it. I was so worried and freaked out about it, allowing anxiety to sneak in. Though I calmed myself and cheered myself through it all.

This is my gift to my community, I can share it, I have shared it and I will continue to grow and share it.

I want to help create the community I want to live in. It starts with me and how I give my strengths to my community.
