Beth's Ponderings

    March is the final month of the year-long mentorship program that I joined in 2020. 

   When I made the decision to join last year, I was at the end of a 6-month creativity program which seemed to have brought me right back to where I was when I started it, COVID was just becoming a concern and the lockdown was a very new (and we thought temporary) reality, plus, I was getting a glimmer of hope that I may actually really and truly be getting healthier.

   A year later, and I am definitely healthier, but I have (in all honesty) not even come close to completing my main goal for the year - which was to have the house contents all sorted and dealt with.  That said, I have made significant progress, but more importantly, I have accomplished things that weren’t even part of any imminent goals or dreams.

   I met (virtually) two of the most amazing women from Australia, and we’ve been meeting weekly via Zoom for almost the entire year, as we encourage and support each other.  I created the labyrinth in my garden, and I self-published a chapbook and two wisdom decks.  There were other smaller accomplishments, that all together, add up to a very impressive year of growth and accomplishment.  All in all, I’m happy with my progress and look forward to joining for another year.
