“The most difficult thing is the decision to act. The rest is merely tenacity.” – Amelia Earhart
Well, I clearly have not been in a blogging frame of mind – it’s been over a year since I last blogged, and I only posted once in 2022. Perfect segue to my topic for this post – waiting – I actually have been thinking about blogging quite a lot over the last year and yet I waited and waited and waited some more. Don’t get me wrong I haven’t been sitting idle waiting to write this post, in fact, over the past year, I watched two of my children graduate (one from high school, one from college), helped my mom move, and sold the house I grew up in. I facilitated Positive Intelligence (PQ) groups, spoke for Women at Microsoft, led a leadership summit for MNCPA, and launched a women’s leadership program, National Women’s Impact Leadership Institute (NWILI) in the Twin Cities. Not to mention continuing the coaching and consulting work I love.

I last blogged on 2/24/20 – that was only 40 days ago (interesting number of days!) and in that time the world has changed before my eyes; I’ve been trying to catch my breath and find my way forward and I’m thinking you might be too. As my 16-year-old son said yesterday – “I’ve never seen anything like this in my life” so true, this is a first, even in my much longer life.

For the second half of the last 40 days I’ve been “busy” – but not busy in the way I have always thought of the word. Typically, my busy is focused on the doing – meeting with clients and colleagues, gathering with friends and family, carpooling, emailing, doing or “reminding” my family members to do household chores, running from thing to thing, fitting in one more task from the list – don’t get me wrong I’ve still been doing many of these things albeit in new ways and at the same time I’ve been busy trying to make sense of what is happening. I’ve been subsumed into the chaos of my thoughts – so much to process and so much time to process and yet clarity continues to escape me.

What does acceptance mean to you? I’ve been asking that question of myself lately! There’s a lot of information out there on acceptance – when I Googled “acceptance articles” 249 million results appeared in 0.58 seconds. AND, although I haven’t read them all 😀 I’m pretty sure none of them will tell me what acceptance means to ME.​

​The word acceptance has been popping up all over my life recently! I have a high school senior who is applying to colleges – being “accepted” is a big deal, the Holy Grail in fact and “denied” and “deferred” leave these young men and women feeling like acceptance is pretty far away. Acceptance really matters!
