Leaning in

With a myriad of excuses ranging from feeling tired and emotionally spent from the holidays, to my chest cold, to realizing that the new trucker hat I got for Christmas that I really really really wanted to wear wasn’t going to stand a chance against the whipping wind that has plagued Waimea over the last week, the list went on and on. Nevertheless, I did what I usually do in these situations, I took a breath, zipped up my Marmot jacket, put on my trucker hat and headed out. 

As I silently cursed the wind that seemed to want to knock me over, desperately holding onto my hat, I looked at this beautiful grass in front of me. See how their blades glisten in the afternoon sunlight? The grass didn’t seem to mind one bit! It brought to mind a song by Amy Grant titled “How Can We See That Far.” There is one verse in particular that always stands out for me when faced with adversity: 
“And the mighty wind that knocks us down 
If we lean into it 
Will drive our fears away.”

If you are struggling with some adversity with your business, if you feel like you are getting knocked around by some whipping winds, or maybe you’d really like some assistance with your communication strategy and don’t know where to start. Give us a call, we can lean into that adversity together, and you never know, it might just drive your fears away too!
