I have been remiss in posting to the women-owned business community because life has happened. We all know how that feels–there’s not enough hours in the day to handle the emotions and tasks of running a business and the emotions and tasks of running a life. It’s when surrendering is most important. In our fast-paced, unforgiving world, sometimes it’s difficult to allow ourselves the permission to be a little less than perfect. During the week I attended the memorial service for Stuart Fitch, an assisting minister at my church. A giving soul in life, his memorial service was a parting offering to friends, family and all who had been blessed by his presence.
As person after person shared, I was struck by the wisdom that Stu had left behind. One of the stories was of Stu participating in a circle to discuss something or other. The significant fact was how this then 70-something man introduced himself. “Hi, I’m Stu. I’m a man in process.”
In process. What a gift.
What if we could all allow ourselves to be “in process” in whatever area of our lives we don’t feel perfect handling? It could be our business, our relationships, our health, or things totally beyond our control, like war, climate change and the insanity in Washington. What if our business was a business in process? How would our lives change with that thought.
And…if we are “in process,” can we give others the same room to be “in process” rather than demanding perfection?
Hi. I’m Casey. I’m a woman business owner in process. Who are you?
