Last week Sucheta and I decided we want to lean into sharing our experiences growing Dhyana Cleaning – from our hearts. One of our core values at Dhyana Cleaning is being Courageously Curious, which is just a way of practicing authenticity.
So here goes…my first post #fromtheheart
I think saying YES to life means saying yes to a world of possibilities. Saying yes tells the universe you’re open to its continuous flow of experiences, the good AND the bad! The interesting thing is, even the bad experiences have nuggets of opportunity; opportunities to self-reflect and gain more awareness or to open to an opportunity that is more in alignment with your soul’s purpose. Its true that when one door closes another one opens!
Saying yes expands the possibility that more opportunities will show up and unfold into a cascade of other possibilities, giving you another chance to say yes.
It was around this time last year that I decided it was time to open up my world of possibilities. I was feeling overwhelmed and isolated as we rounded the corner of month three into the pandemic. I had come across a Facebook post that was very unique – it was asking for people to join a community based on authentic friendships called Kinnd. The premise was to make friends based on what one was looking for as well as what one had to offer. To me, this was the universe tapping me on the shoulder, presenting the perfect opportunity to step into possibilities. How could I not say YES!
I immediately joined Kinnd and posted my first ask/offer. I could never have imagined what I was in for! Joining Kinnd lead me down a meandering path of beautiful experiences.
I never imagined that I would find an Operations Manager who would help us solve some challenges that were holding us back and hurting our growth.
I never imagined that Operations Manager would become a friend for life! She is like a sister to me!
I never imagined I would join Kinnd as a moderator and have the opportunity to witness beautifully authentic friendships unfolding and blossoming beyond borders, ethnicity and gender.
I never imagined a Kinnd member’s negative experience with cleaning would propel me into developing a course on teaching people to see cleaning as a mindfulness mediation practice.
I never imagined a suggestion from Kinnd’s founder to find a mentor would lead me to reconnect with a mentor I lost touch with, who’s support these past 8 months has opened my mind to even more possibilities!
I never imagined Dhyana Cleaning would be featured in BlogTO for our work building Clear Mind (our mindfulness cleaning course)
And the biggest shock happened this past week. I never imagined I would be a part of a CBC television series on the pandemic and the positive impact its had in people’s lives.
I can’t imagine where I would be today if I didn’t say yes to joining Kinnd. All of these experiences wouldn’t have happened if I didn’t say yes and take consistent action and I’m over the moon excited to imagine where I’ll be this time next year! The possibilities are limitless!
OK over to you – what have you said YES to and how has it changed your life?
