Colleen shares some powerful observations during the current
Covid-19 stay at home order. She feels that we're on a threshold of
the past and future, what she calls a "liminal space". It's an
uncertain and uncomfortable time for some. Somehow, Colleen is able
to bring some clarity to the current situation. What I found
fascinating about my conversation with her was her ability to help
me to see it from the outside looking it. I think you will really
enjoy our conversation. Here are some words of wisdom that Colleen
shares during her interview:
- we have the opportunity to become more aware of our feelings, our
patterns and our distractions
- we are trying to figure out how we can grieve, but yet move
forward
- these are unsettling times, which can be exciting times for
some
- let's practice self-compassion, awareness and listening
- we have control of our awareness
- let's strive to acknowledge our pain and the pain of others
- acknowledging is the greatest gift that we give ourselves and
others
- liminal space can be an opportunity to create for some
- we need connection with each other
- some things start slowly, then come more and more into focus
- perhaps, this is a time of preparation
- let's be as intentional as possible
- let's continue our daily practices
