Many weeks ago I allowed several blocks in my life to forestall me from communicating my heart. You see, I had been extremely diligent concerning writing my BLOGS each and every Monday night for posting on Tuesday's for my readers. It had become my passion to share my stories and my relevant life lessons with my friends.
Back in December, I had the misfortune of getting my recent email address discontinue abruptly once I left the company where I had been for 5 years. Unfortunately, I failed to to have the opportunity to alert my eight,000 contacts that my e-mail address was being modified and I had issue restoring my contact list and obtaining my email to perform properly till late yesterday.
Everything I attempted had backfired! I was thus pissed off knowing that I had probably lost one thing thus precious to me.
Then I was asked to return my laptop after having been told that it had been mine to keep.
It is amazing how much of our life we tend to store in our little black "Bill Gates Box". Like an airline flight recorder, it contains very important data regarding where we tend to have been, what we have a tendency to have said and to whom, and gems of self discovery along our destined path.
My black box (referred to as "my computer") housed my software, my passwords, my displays, and the most necessary things in life to me...my photos and my contact list from thirty years of working with powerful and lifelong friends.
I had taken as a right that my friends needed "updating" by me. I had kept them all neatly tucked away in this tiny box without regard to having to listen to anyone of them. Deep down, I knew that I might simply connect with anyone of them any time I select by just clicking a letter of the alphabet in my search window and choosing my "friend of the day!"
But after loosing eight,000 friends in one moment...it felt like the tragic events of Haiti everywhere once more in my soul. The dear connections that I had taken without any consideration were gone in an instant. I was a gut wrenching feeling. My heart had lost its playmates!
We tend to all get therefore busy nowadays that we have a tendency to every take a great deal for granted...particularly the folks who have brought that means and made experiences to our lives. I never worried about having to remain in touch as a result of they were always simply one click away.
As my oldsters now move into their early 80s together, I apprehend a lot of than ever how precious our connection is. I used to inform myself that they were continuously just a phone call away in South Carolina, but that is not what they have from me now. They grasp a lot of than anyone just how precious each day is here on this stunning planet and I understand that physically touching them, holding them and sharing laughs with them will be my most powerful moments on earth now. We have a tendency to are here to attach heart-to-heart with one another and categorical our love overtly and generally while not words. The heart could be a master communicator, even in its silence.
With that in mind, I invited 11 friends from completely different elements of my past who didn't grasp each other over to dine with me last Friday night. As we have a tendency to all sat all the way down to dinner, I said Grace and thanked them for their presence in my life.
I then spent five minutes trying at each person eye-to-eye and heart-to-heart telling them personally what a strong role they had played in my life's developing evolution. They had each been a "compassionate tour guide" pointing me down the proper path after I stopped for directions. My heart's want was to express my love and appreciation for them being who they were when I most required them to merely be themselves in my life.
Each friend was a stranger this day to one another, however expensive friends to me.
We have a tendency to each engineered a bridge with our hearts this memorable evening and willingly removed anything "foreign" or "guarded". It absolutely was serene, peaceful and joyous. We have a tendency to redefined "quality time" in those three hours. We have a tendency to had no agenda, no TV, and no forced or superficial conversation. It had been a time for stories, fellowship, laughter, tears and gratitude.
To me, I used to be instantly transported back to my tiny home in Columbia, SC in 1960. There, I used to sit with my then 30 year-recent vibrant oldsters around the dinner table. We have a tendency to talked about our day, we talked concerning our dreams and we were excited about our direction and therefore the promise of a brand new day that President Kennedy foretold.
Magic is still a alternative we tend to make.
Love is aware of no strangers
Friendship is defined by the commitment we individually create to share from our hearts.
Laughter and joy is our heart's way of permitting trust and luxury to embrace us tenderly.
This was one among the most powerful evenings that I had ever witnessed. It started with an invite to open my home; it ended with a collective promise to show our hearts.
