I have happily filled the last six months since lockdown, I have found really interesting work projects, have attended many on on-line ‘summits’, read lots, exercised much more, cleaned the house, cleared out my cupboards, and…. PAUSE! then lockdown returns!
Over the last few days, I am feeling an edge within myself, a little sadness and not quite despair but certainly a drop in energy. My second holiday this year has just been canceled, all the gains of our tight little family unit have been removed and the news is, well, you know the news!.
I subscribe to a daily newsletter called ‘Letters from an American" by Heather Cox Richardson which gives a punchy take on what is happening in the run-up to the USA elections. I really enjoy it. I noticed that she used a site called Substack, I clicked the link and there was a really easy way for me to craft my own little newsletter.
So I decided right I am going to start a newsletter. But what about I mused! At the end of my morning meditation, it just came to me to call it The Sunny Optimist.
So here I go!
I will write about things that I think are interesting, funny, poignant, and hope that I get responses back that make life a bit sweeter, a bit more fun, and takes me into new relationships and learning.
What are you optimistic about? I would love to hear from you.
Hi Ann, I've been an optimist most of my life and I was thinking the other day that if I were the Divine Source and wanted to offer a wee test to FireHawk, I would have created what has happened in my life this year and see how optimistic FireHawk remains :-) Your new venture came at the right moment to put me back in touch with this essential part of myself and made me smile a big smile! Thank you! I love that you are continually finding new ways to express your Medicine in and for the world. I look forward to walking this latest journey with you.
Hi Ann, Optimism is so important and is a life affirming energy. We need to be conscious not to get trapped by all that is being fired at us at the moment from the media etc. which can take us into the trap of those life diminishing energies that we call Distorted Energies (from Earth Wisdom). I wish you well in this new venture.
