Has this pandemic got you feeling like this picture looks? Some days I don't know if I'm the only one with concerns for my personal safety until I talk with others. To me, it's too soon to open up. With states beginning to open up, lots of times because of politics and economics rather than safety, many of us still have concerns as to what our individual responses will be. Concerns might revolve around family functions, graduations/wedding or weekly church. Maybe it's just being cooped up!I have also had requests for spiritual direction "when this is all over and things open up." We all would like life to look like it did before the pandemic hit but I'm so afraid we are all in for a rude awakening and we are beginning to see a new normal occurring right before our eyes.
Then, during Dr. Rick Bright's testimony yesterday he talked about a "dark winter" that we may experience because of insufficient actions to keep the population safe. That leads me to the topic of how spiritual direction now can assist an individual in navigating concerns in one's daily life. Talking with my own spiritual director is something I would never put off, even if it is by phone, messenger or zoom.
I have not shut down my business, I have continued to have appointments and even though these other ways of meeting is different than face to face, it is very acceptable. There is still a confidential, contemplative atmosphere, and it is there for you in this time of turmoil, change and apprehension.
Actually, now it is easier to offer it to you, not limited in driving to the appointment. Long distance is not a problem, no matter where you live. If you have any questions, please feel free to call to discuss how we might connect, depending on your internet capabilities. At the least, the phone is very acceptable. I never thought I would resort to the phone but I no longer want to wait till the pandemic is over. I want to offer this availability to you, too.
Consider it. Covid 19 has affected us physically, emotionally and spiritually. Spiritual direction is about having a spiritual companion during this time. Please consider this gift to yourself. So, don't keep feeling like the above picture. It may be too soon for some things, but it's not too soon for spiritual direction. It can change your inner picture! We can work out the details. Consider calling me at: 920.793.3530.
