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!

First off, congrats on finally getting that job after 18 months! I only wish the best for you and your little six year old girl. I truly envision your happiness, and yes, I can see you playing in the sand!

ShellDeFelice says,

Thank you JL, I read this and then looked up at the contest picture and was flooded with joy!

The sum is greater than the whole of it's parts.

Congrats on your new job, I see sunshine, your darling girl and sandy toes in your future. Positive thoughts being sent your way.p:-)

ShellDeFelice says,

So true NJAG and thank you CF! I can feel it happening despite the obstacle.

Dragonflower says,

Peace, love, and sandy feet! A saying from a little shop in my beachside community. Nothing but good thoughts to you. Always.

ShellDeFelice says,

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,

illum, I am a huge fan of yours as well! Thank you for being a strong part of the sum. I see you smiling and saluting your troubles as you glide right by!

NumbrOneAunt says,

shell, you are now on my prayer list with lovely liz and maryjane & her baba. know you'll keep us posted!

mercurial says,

Prayers for you and that sun-soaked dream come true! Very true memoir.

favepeep says,

Great news! Sending positive vibes that all will be well. And congrats on the feature.

ShellDeFelice says,

Thank you so very much, I truly can feel the strength and security in your prayers ,positive thoughts and written visions. I feel like I'm building an army of light, helping me to see the next step and encouraging me to take it.
Thank you Larry, for the highlight!

lillybrook 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!

P.Laudato says,

Congrats on your new job! Your words are always so inspiring- grateful to be able to read them here. Keep rocking! :)

BanjoDan says,

dear Shell, congrats on your new job and you truly deserve that special place by the beach

ShellDeFelice says,

Thanks PL and BD!
