Leadership-Retreat 1

So, it has taken me a week to write this post, and I still don't know quite where to begin.

There is SO MUCH and also so little I can actually reveal about the details of the experience, so I will just tell you some of my internal process.

I realized that I can hold my own among some of the most powerful, influential, brilliant human beings I have ever met.

I realized that I can be 100% myself, no holds barred, and that I will be loved.

I realized that courage is more compelling than perfection.

I realized that I have range.

I realized that the list of work that I long to do in the world is long and broad.

I realized that I can fall madly, wildly in love with a group, and experience the same longing for them that I would for a long-distance lover.

I realized that I can become so fully present that I can hear the wind whispering through the grass.

I realized that I have family all over the world.

I realized that I could kiss my enemy on the lips and love him like a brother.

I realized that I could fall, fall, fall, and be caught and lifted up in arms of love.

I realized that I am going to live the life of my dreams.

This is only the beginning. More, so much more to come.

To the Bees!
