When Nana Nancy was here a couple of weeks ago, we talked about fund raising and recruiting volunteers. Although we really do need to fund raise for the consultation and Son-Rise training and support, DH's main concern was getting all the volunteers that we needed.
At the Start-Up we learned that most successful Son-Rise Programs had excellent teams of volunteers. The first step to achieving this outcome is to BELIEVE. During our discussion between Nancy, DH and myself, DH asked me "when are you planning to have volunteers?" it was a great question. It reminded me that asking for WHAT you desire is not enough; you also need to add in WHEN. Thank you, Marie Diamond, for reminding me of this. So, I told Nancy and DH that within two weeks, volunteers should pour in. "Okay," said DH, "you've got two weeks." I was glad, because I knew that the Universe would deliver at a specific time, and that was what I was missing in my visualization of this realization.
So, the last two weeks have been filled with excitement. I've been enthusiastically and excitedly talking to people every reasonable chance I get. I've been sending out emails to organizations, strangers, sending out requests on Facebook for help in spreading our word.The response has been fabulous! YOU are wonderful, amazing, thoughtful, kind. Thank YOU so much for telling your friends, family and colleagues about us. Thank you for sharing our link on Facebook and whatever other ways you've done.
And of course I'm grateful for the potential volunteers who respond and show their interest. Corresponding with you has been a pleasure, and I really look forward to meeting you soon.
Namaste,
