Before I took up the offer of the free Masterclass with Marisa Peer (on a whim because it popped up on my Instagram page) I had just started writing a piece to exorcise the deep depression I'd plummeted into as a result of the Global Agony of Covid-19. The piece was supposed to just help me get the swirling tempest in my head out of me and put it into a concrete form so that I could, hopefully, make some sense of the pain. I didn't for a second think that the piece of writing would be worthy of anyone else's interest at this time.
Then I did the Masterclass. Two things noticeably happened in the following days. My despondent lethargy turned into a better level of energy - not great but measurably better. And I decided that what I was writing might have some merit in the wider world - this takes a huge leap of courage from me! I completed the article on the 22nd May 2020. Yesterday, I shared it with my husband and with 3 other valued friends whom I trust enough to be gentle in their critique. I therefore start this Quest today with a little fear and trembling - but the right kind of fear and trembling! This is a definite change for me! The beginning of my - shall I call it a metamorphosis? - undoubtedly started immediately after Marisa Peer's Masterclass - how far I will journey on to hatching out of my cocoon is as much a mystery to me as anyone else. Or maybe it isn't? Maybe that glimmer of possibility is what enCOURAGed me to sign on the dotted line. Maybe those already down the road of the Quest or at its destination know only too well where I'm about to travel to and are smiling at my story here with that wise knowingness. Maybe.
