Empower your life with up-to-date information through my RSS feed. Thank you!
I did something today I never thought I would do. Initially reluctant to join any of the social hang-outs on the web, I started a group on Facebook.
It’s for a good cause. Shortly after interviewing Martha Beck on The Mommy-Muse Is In: Empowering Your Journey into Motherhood in the beginning of December, I discovered Martha Beck’s Blog. I noticed people were leaving a lot of comments after her posts, hungry for interaction with other “Team” members, but not quite sure how to find each other. So I started the Martha Beck TEAM Connect Group as a place to connect, share ideas, resources and gather support as we work to make the world a better place.
This is NOT a Martha Beck fan club. This is a “Stand in your own Light – Be the change you wish to see in the world” group. If you haven’t heard of the Team before, you may want to read There”™s No “I” in “TEAM””¦But There”™s ME
Martha has written about the elements that Team members tend to share. See if you recognize yourself in any of these:
· You”™ve always felt separate and odd, misunderstood by others while having the ability to make them feel understood.
· You”™re haunted by a feeling of having something incredibly important to do, but you don”™t know what it is. Over the past couple of years, this feelings has become almost overwhelmingly intense.
· You hate small talk, but find that large talk is not encouraged.
· You love, love, love animals; in fact, your life feels incomplete unless you”™re interacting with animals.
· Your childhood and adolescence were difficult. Like really, really difficult””abuse, addiction, years-of-total-despair difficult.
· You”™ve had a significant “life accident” such as losing several family members to death, being physically disabled, or having a child with a disability.
· You”™ve had a long-term, disabling and/or painful illness that was mysteriously unresponsive to medical treatment.
· You occasionally feel compelled to learn or create certain things, without really knowing why.
· You”™ve begun meeting people who are like you, in a strange way you can”™t articulate, and you feeling powerfully drawn to these people despite lots of surface differences.
If this strikes a chord in your being, I hope you’ll join in the discussion on Martha Beck TEAM Connect. I’ll see you there!
