I am back at work this week but I do keep some of the lessons I learned on the cruise in the front of my mind. This photo from Icy Strait Point makes me think that sometimes the road seems impossible but there must be a way to get to the destination. Even though this broken pier seems to go nowhere, life grows at the far edge of it.
Today at work, I was busy with my fundraising role, selling t-shirts. At the beginning of the day, a colleague wrote in an email, that if I sold $700 worth of shirts today, she would be impressed. I was pretty sure that I could do that. I am a little less sure about tomorrow’s silent auction but am hopeful that we can make our money back plus make a wee profit. Fundraising is something I would say is not my forte but I said yes to the position because I am trying to choose to do things outside my comfort zone in order to learn new things.
By the end of the lunch hour we had already sold enough t-shirts that we broke even. By the end of the day we had sold over $700 worth of them. I have to admit that I was pretty proud of the work that we had done. Perhaps by the end of the week we will have a good sum of money in the bank.
I love stepping out into the unknown with faith and getting an awesome result. Like this shot of the rickety old pier, life can appear where you least expect it. How about you? When was the last time you stepped out of your comfort zone and had a surprisingly fantastic outcome?
Peace,
Suzanne
