THE WAITING ROOM (eBook)

Throughout our lives, we all need a place to be, to belong, to contribute, and to be loved. These elements define us and help create our story. At times, the dynamic nature of life can take us to places that extend well beyond our means and make us feel as if we have no control over our destiny. Everyone enters the waiting room at very deliberate times in their life--at times for reasons unknown--but everyone passes through. When we experience these life moments in the waiting room, there are lessons to embrace. If we allow our eyes to see and our hearts to behold, we can readily integrate these lessons learned. It is truly in living in this waiting room that we can turn to the next challenge with renewed strength and insight. This enables us to greet our next triumph with a lens that acknowledges and celebrates the attainment of these gifts, furthering human development and connection. The greatest present we can give each other (and ourselves) is this time, and yet one of our greatest fears is that of authentically being connected. These are among the many prolific revelations for our reflection as we frequent the timeless waiting room. _____________________________________________________ I know what you are thinking...how many of us remain in the waiting room as we continue to navigate these dynamic COVID-19 times. So much of what we have come to know--how we work, learn, love, celebrate, mourn, communicate, and connect--has been transformed. As we frequent this place, the waiting room, what lessons will we come to know? How will our lives be transformed? How will you live in the waiting room?
