Just writing our crowdfund request has been transformative. And such a incalculable blessing.
This, in spite of not a single penny being registered as contributed to the request. In spite of receiving a grand total of one (1) note card returned with a name & "You go, guys!" comments. Zip & one.
How does that make me feel? At peace. Best way to describe it.
It also reinforces my gratitude for coming to peace with how few friends showed up after Mom died - her death was announced at the Contemporary & traditional adult church services; only six stopped by that day. That's how I always experience it - "Only six people..." Until something happened last week at the wee small hours tag end of a cast party, when comments from two formerly pleasant acquaintances, now treasured friends, turned my feelings around.
They weren't the only six people - they were the RIGHT six people.
Ditto with the crowdfund request. It could be that no one chips in. It could be that our one friend is the only one who returns a card. Could be the Universe will be telling us that we can whack our way through on our own, that the one friend is the right person to respond. Hey, Universe - we're listening!
