A small jab of encouragement

The past 24 hours have been one of those periods where a few things fall into place, encouraging me that I am on the right path and that the small daily actions I have been taking will amount to something cool.

A lady gave me a massive dose of encouragement about my podcast. I had a job interview that seems to have landed me a short term position helping startups and the city collaborate. And I reconnected with some interesting people from my past.

It is just enough to remind me to keep on, to work patiently and persistently, diligently and ardently.

Encouragement

The small words of encouragement I have received from others are like little drops of water on a parched tongue. On their own they cannot nourish, but in total they offer refreshment and more than enough to keep me going on the next bit of the journey. 

I am so grateful for everybody that has offered me a small piece of encouragement, particularly over the past 18 months. Reminding me that I am strong. That I can write. That I am brave. That I am courageous. That I can hold space.

I write these things here not to brag. I write them because I forget and I doubt and I need to remember.

I will in turn remember to offer encouragement to others who are in the arena.
