Hello Shad,
I had to really think about how I wanted to reply, because you left me at a loss for words. This rarely ever happens.
The morning that you sent me that email, I was considering the idea that perhaps the world would be better off were I to make writing a hobby and focus the majority of my energy on a financial career. It was a fleeting idea, just at the edge of my awareness.
A couple of hours later my Boss called me into his office and broke it down to me that he doesn’t think I’m happy, right after which I got your email.
I couldn’t even finish reading it as I dissolved into tears of relief.
I don’t know you – and what you said and how you said it laid me bare and vulnerable in a way that I haven’t felt in a really long time. Defenseless. Not in any real danger, but defenseless against the force of something that felt greater than myself… if that makes sense. Vulnerable to the Universe.
Thank you.
Thank you from every part of my soul and center for sending me the words I needed to hear at that exact moment. Thank you for granting me such a gift, one that I didn’t even know I needed. Like a gentle line secured around the waist of a woman holding on by her fingernails, a deadly fall below all the while she’s claiming, “No worries, I’m okay. I don’t need help.”
So, thank you.
Thank you for the reach. Thank you for the tremendous compliment. Thank you.
I have no idea what else to say. I’m completely out of words.
I hope you are having a fabulous day, and this letter finds you smiling.
Thank you again,
Athena
