Networking and Support
Thursday, May 22, 2008 at 08:05PM Bringing up the KWF Wellness Day event yet again, I have been reflecting on the 'successfulness' of that day for me. Not only was it a beautiful day, yada, yada, yada, and, as I mentioned, I encountered some old and new faces, I was also approached by a woman -- Jeanie Ruland-Matteson, MA-MT, to be exact -- owner of Creative Healing Arts in West Chester. She was introducing herself to the practitioners gathered there, and inviting them/us to participate in these 'Business Discussion Roundtables' that she and her collegues had started just last month.
It just so happened that the next one, topic - networking, was two days later, and it happened to be in the precise neighborhood and at the right time for me to attend. (Not to mention that my horoscope for that day advised me to make a move on getting a project off the ground, like NOW!)
Upon entering the absolutely beautiful space, and meeting Jenn Givler, 'Intuitive Business Coach', I just had a sense that my business might actually be starting to line up with my intentions. Yes, the discussion was helpful, but more importantly was the meeting; the connection with people -women- who are successfully immersed in a unique field with unique challenges, and are actively seeking ways to share support and community.
This is what I've been needing, asking for. I keep picturing the Verizon network commercials, where these portrayed cell phone users are followed all over creation by hundreds of Verizon employees, making sure their service is reliable.
I'm so looking forward to what these new alliances will bring, and in turn, how this foundation will allow me to nurture my practice, and ultimately bring well-being to my clients.

WOW!! You captured the essence of the BDR perfectly. I am thrilled that's how it's being received. I'm also so happy that you joined us and - that you see yourself deeply involved in this wonderful community that's being built. The holistic community in our area is truly growing - it's amazing to see - and exciting to be a part of. Thank you for your thoughts!
Thank you Jenn! I just hope that Jim, should he happen to read this, doesn't feel like I was excluding him when I mentioned the connection with other women! LOL!. Of course he is a valuable part of the community too...but, you know.. I was particularly appreciating the connection with the gender I identify with.
