Annual Evaluation
Dear Jen,
First, please accept our sincere condolences on the passing
of your beloved daughter. We wish it could be otherwise, but we respect her
choices and needs, as you do.
We are thankful that we still have you with us. We believe
you have immense talent and we would like you to have a solid chance to develop
it to share with the world. We would like for you to enjoy and revel in the
moments that you are working to grow and to express your creative self, your
mind and heart, and the appreciation you have for beauty.
We've watched you work through the hardest year of your
life, and we'd like to highlight the qualities and skills that we see working
for you.
It is evident that you have phenomenal strength and
determination. It is evident that when you encounter challenge, you seek out
ways to surmount it, some good and very effective, some self-destructive or
weakening. In your situation for a limited period of time, the negative
behavior is understood, and we sympathize. We are your best cheerleaders for
working through it and letting go, for growing into the life-sustaining
behaviors that make your work sing, and your heart sing.
It is evident that you have worked many years to create a
store of reserves to pull out and lean on when you feel defeated, and you do
pull them out, even as you work to escape the pain you have been feeling.
We would like for you to keep seeing your therapist, to keep
that encouragement going, and the reminders that you are not your daughter, and
that one moment is one moment, one appointment is one appointment, and what you
do in-between makes a difference in how you're able to function and in how you
feel.
We see that you're investing in both your restful life (new
bed, peaceful bedroom with the comforts you find enjoyable), and in your
physical life (creating your workout room where you can move your body and feel
its strength returning). We completely
approve of these changes in your life and support your investment of them.
We would like to see you take some time to evaluate your
direction for this year, creatively, no matter what else may come about,
because it is the fire in your belly, the foundation of your existence here.
You don't need to be famous, though you may become so, just create, do your
very best, and spend time cultivating new friendships. Surround yourself with
people who are doing what you're doing and working on living their own dreams. Drop the rest and anyone who does not
encourage and support your dreams and efforts.
Choose carefully, focus, work hard, and you will see the
reflection of your efforts and you will experience growing rewards. Stay
focused when possible. Rest when you need to, walk in beautiful Nature, give
your hands and mind and heart the power and freedom to do what they do, it
comes from a higher source. This you can trust to bring you pleasure. And
others too.
We are behind you one hundred percent. Follow your heart and
don't let anyone steer you off your chosen path - listen and meditate. Enjoy
your body movement.
We wish you the very best in 2016, a fresh new start, and a
continuation of things that feel good. We are so very proud of you. Keep going.
For you, for others who relate to what it is that you do.
Learn new things and let them fly. Spend time developing the
social/online outlets. Pay attention to
the events at the museum, they are foundational to keeping you connected to
others of like mind.
Carry on Warrior.
With love and respect and support and admiration - spread
those wings and soar, we've got your back. We're looking forward to the
wonderful year ahead.
Sincerely,
The DKC Team
