Collective vision, something greater than me.
Backstory
Inspired by our lovely CF's anniversary here. There is nothing like a community of compassionate souls holding a vision up for one of it's members to heal a hurt or reach a milestone.I have a new job after 18 months of searching and a darling place to live waiting by the beach. Some things have come up that are trying to threaten that future. If you have a minute, could you lift us up and "see" us peacefully playing on the beach?
I believe in the power of community, and this one is vibrant!

Love that DE, thank you!!!!illuminatrix says,
Hell yes! I've got crazy respect for you, Shell, I'm very glad about you're new job. I don't even have to close my eyes to see you lounging on the beach, being tranquilized by the lapping waves. I've been faced with a mountain of shit myself recently, but finally there is a glimmer of light behind it, which should guide me right past it. I hope for smooth sailing for us both. Karma owes us one.illuminatrix says,
And this six rocks too. Forgot the most important bit!ShellDeFelice says,

Congratulations! You are definitely smiling and dancing, barefoot on the beach in the sunshine. Life is good.ShellDeFelice says,
Thanks LB, you are a strong supporter, knowing first hand what it feels like to be doing this alone. Life is most definitely good!!! All of these amazing visuals are creating an art gallery in my thoughts. These gorgeous posters of seeing my dream with me are stopping any negative thoughts, dead in their tracks. "Happiness is a way of getting there (not a destination)" and you all are an inspiration of happy!lovelylizard says,
Congrats, Shell, on both the job and your belief in the collective power of positive thinking. This is a very sacred and rare place for us all to be who we are and not be judged too harshly. So much love and support, laughter and tears, hope and joy. Wishing you and your baby girl all the best.ShellDeFelice says,
Thank you LL. I love the " sacred and rare place". It is so true. We don't know each other and at the same time we"know" each other on a more intimate, or higher level then many people get to in their entire lives. Maybe not a complete picture but deeply in some places, if that makes sense. Thank you for seeing our best, I see you in perfect release from your health scare and I am lifting you up to that daily!
