Lately I have been off-balance, and now I know why. It’s the committee inside. A few very vocal committee members are trying to take over. Change scares them. They like the status quo. I know they mean well, but they are making me tired and anxious. They are so loud and strident that I can hardly hear the other committee members. In fact, lately I have been forgetting that there are others.
This morning I spent some time listening to the committee members who haven’t had much airtime recently. A few of them are excited that change is on the horizon. They want adventure and fresh air--new experiences, new people, new ways of thinking and seeing and doing. They want to let life flow with beauty, ease and grace. I like what they had to say. I’m glad I called a meeting.
