Go Ahead – Make the Call
Long ago, and far away, it was possible for a person to know everything there was to know.
Today, I feel it is difficult to impossible to know even all there is to know about anything – let alone everything.
When you search, learn, and experience new things, tap into and lean on the knowledge and skills of others.
Use the skills, knowledge, and experience of others when you collaborate to grow, prosper, and develop your skills and direction.
Collaboration mixed with teamwork can smooth and balance your life journey.
Whatever you do, wherever you head, a strong support group is essential.
So, how do you do this?
For starters – ASK
That, in itself, can be a stretch. Nobody likes to admit needing things and not knowing things. But when you seek knowledge, you start from a foundation of not knowing.
So, what are you to do?
Well, journal entries can help.
Explore how it feels to know know what you need. Discuss the meaning of imperfect, wrong, and dependent.
How can you accelerate this growth to get to the other side easier? There is something you can do: Outsource
Action helps. Reach out.
Reach out to someone for help. This boils down to another vocabulary: ask, call, hire, order.
It also means that you can get more comfortable with being worthy. Go ahead. You can do it!
You’re worth it!
Ask questions. They can apply in your professional life, your social life, and in your romantic relationships.
How often can you benefit from knowing something new?
How hard is it to admit that you don’t know something?
How is your situation hindering your progress on your journey?
As you juggle all the tasks and requirements that you face at a given moment, If you reach out to someone for something you need, can you improve your situation?
Of course you can. Go ahead. Make the call!
Ask someone to help you plan your garden.
Ask around – who knows about a good job opening?
Call a friend for a recipe.
Hire someone to help paint a room.
Get your groceries delivered when things get crowded in your life.

Sometimes, when contemplating the stretches that questions create in addition to the answers, it helps to schedule a Reiki or reflexology session.
Other times, take time out to consider the resources, allies, and experts you’ll be learning from next!

What is Hope?
Hope is a feeling. It is also a skill.
Hope is honest. You can pretend to be happy but it’s pretty much impossible to pretend to have Hope.
Hope can be learned. How do you do this? Practice being Hopeful. Your first step is to make space in your life for Hope. This is also a good strategy for boosting your sense of well-being.
You don’t have to be positive to learn about Hope. I learned about Hope recently when I experienced some dark days. In the midst of these negative and painful feelings I discovered I felt Hopeful.
Hope just popped up and said “hi”.
When this happened, I felt I suddenly weighed several pounds less. I felt like I could smile even.
I think this happened because I refused to gloss things over. I decided I could try to change my situation. I felt strong enough to cope with the eventual outcome.
I was ready to try, anyway.
I wanted to do everything possible I could to make things better.
I was finally willing to even ask others for help.
I realized I needed to sleep and rest each day. For me, sleep and rest are holy.
One thing I was not ready to do was give up.
Once I dug my heels in, I felt inspired. I was through just sitting on the sidelines watching things go in the wrong direction.
Suddenly, Hope boosted me to take action! It was time to make things happen. Perfection was not in my situation but momentum and Hope were.
I soon learned that Hope covers many ills. I began to see what could happen because I had faith in things moving in the right direction.
Hope taught me, once again, that with a belief in the strength of a higher power and a faith in the universe, things can’t go wrong. I stumbled onto the wisdom of universally higher power.
We can all tap into universal wisdom. All we have to do is see it for what it is.
Sometimes, with Hope we have to reach out to others for help, answers, and direction.
I did this. I reached out to those around me. I didn’t stop with just one or two people. I asked everyone I could find for help, inspiration. I heated up the phone (and email) lines, as my grandmother would have said.
The result was not necessarily what I envisioned. It was, however, far better than what I saw as a good outcome. A lot of my reaching out resulted in “no” or “not now” or “I don’t know”. Even these negatives were encouraging.
All it took was Hope..
I knew what I needed to do was “go it alone”. I arrived at the TV studio with a basket from Karen filled with donations to put on the altar: stones, feathers, a singing bowl, an alter cloth, herbs, fruit, empty bottles, bread, rocks.
The first presentation of HOPE on the Road went out on Channel 23 this week. Ellen knew how to arrange the altar pieces.
You’ll find HOPE on the Road on YOUTUBE in early September.
Because I reached out to others, the outcome was beautiful.
Will you participate in HOPE on the Road?
Do you practice Reiki? Can you host your own HOPE on the Road?
You don’t practice Reiki?. That’s not a problem. Invite a Reiki practitioner to facilitate a HOPE on the Road presentation for you. Encourage people to enjoy your HOPE on the Road event.
A HOPE on the Road event includes a guided meditation opening followed by a group Reiki session. A hand blessing closes the experience. A HOPE on the Road event only takes an hour.
The Reiki practitioner is a vital link between a person experiencing a challenge and appropriate support.
Does that not seem right for you? Give me a call. Send me an email. I’m ready, willing, and able.
I’ll offer HOPE on the Road through Zoom or on the porch of a building, or in a garden somewhere. I can work with social distancing.
Don’t overlook your neighborhood library.
The important thing is that we share HOPE on the road.
What we all need now is HOPE.
