A day amidst heroes

What an amazing day! To stand in a circle and watch people claim their right to live large, to live on fire, to live in the fires of life inspiring them to do more, make a difference, be all they’re ever dreamt to be.

It was all in a Friday at Choices.

And the room was filled with heroes.

From Mary and Joe Davis, daughter and son–in-law of Thelma Box who founded Choices, to Janet at the back table making sure the day flowed, to Bill and Rosemarie and Dan and team captains Jody and Serge and all the coaches who gave their 100% to every participant, you are all heroes.

And to every participant who broke through to see their light, their brilliance, their true selves shining in the darkness of their fear that they will never be enough, never have the life they dreamt of, never let go of shame or fear or sadness or loss, you are all heroes.

I spent the day amidst heroes yesterday.

I am blessed.

 

And another real life hero is pianist and composer, Paul Cardel. Get inspired!

    • Hi Joyce — I’m so glad his story resonated with you too! He is a hero for sure. And thank you! C.C. just called me from the highway on the way back to Saskatoon — glad I’m not driving it tonight as he was in an accident (he’s ok but his car is in the ditch with a big owie on its side) and he is now staying on a cot at the Legion along with about 60 other stranded motorists! I’ll wait for finer weather to go in search of my brother and his wife.
      Hugs
