Over the past few weeks, I’ve experienced more synchronicity and unexpected events in my life and work than I have in the recent past.
New and unexpected people, conversations, projects, and directions just show up. Everything seems to flow and connect to everything else in the most intriguing ways.
It’s very much like what I experienced during a period in my life six to ten years ago.
After feeling a bit disoriented and demotivated due to recent world events, it’s been a welcome change.
I wondered, what changed?
During the past week, I’ve had an opportunity to talk with a number of people who subscribe to this newsletter.
Last week’s newsletter, How to Allow Life to Lead the Way, received an unusual response. Seven people contacted me after reading it to let me know that it had touched them deeply.
But something started to jump out at me as the conversations with this group of people occurred this past week.
I started to realize there was a connection with a person and group I associated with in the past. And interestingly, this group had just formed again after being dormant for the past six years.
It’s also a group that’s led by someone who has been a mentor and guide to me, Elyse Hope Killoran. It was Elyse who asked me this question that I shared in last week’s newsletter:
"Is it possible that someone like Joseph Jaworski might, in this unprecedented time, perceive that “surrendering to life unfolding” could be a “leadership” activity?"
Elyse is the founder of Coming Home to Ourselves. She describes the group as “an experimental colab that helps change agents and catalysts become self resourced.”
