In Touch

L evel U p I sit here writing this on Nov. 4, and today reminds me that patience is not just a static state — we can neither survive nor thrive there. We have to move to meet whatever comes at us with some force or enthusiasm or, at the very least, some kinetic energy. I am immeasurably lucky I get to actually see and speak to people in person every day. And yet, I miss people. I don’t miss going out as much as I miss having time with friends enjoying long conversations, hanging out, picking up old conversations, and starting new ones. Those moments are less present in my life than I want them to be. I ran into a friend while walking the dog last week. I had really been missing this friend, but we are not in a shared pod situation, so I don’t see her. We paused 8 feet apart and chatted for a few minutes. She mentioned her child’s struggles with not seeing many other kids outside their pod. She said, “I told him just because he doesn’t see his friends doesn’t mean he doesn’t have friends.” I just about choked up right there. That’s the feeling. That’s where the emotion lives. When I got to my office later, I texted this friend and thanked her for sharing that sentiment with me and that I needed to hear it. She responded with an “I love you, and let’s distance-walk anytime.” I was reminded in these COVID times that moving still allowed me some of what I need. I discovered a new podcast this month: “Dare to Lead,” by Brené Brown (which I highly recommend). I am a huge fan of >Page 1 Page 2 Page 3 Page 4
