Facing my Choices & Stepping into Vulnerability, Worth, & Integrity:
These are the SILVER LINING MOMENT to asking for support.

I chose to stop practicing law and to pursue my dream of using creativity to put some good in the world. My vision for Silver Lining Moments (SLM) became clear during my 2016 Pause and Reset Journey. I chose to do this without having savings or a financial safety net. These are my choices, which makes asking for financial support a bit uncomfortable.

As I type this, I realize that asking for financial support is part of this journey.

Even with my other jobs, I am not earning enough money to pay for some unexpected medical bills. Luckily, the medical bill is not that much, and the doctor is letting me pay it off over time. It is saying โ financially โ SLM needs a boost; I need a boost.

โก๏ธ For me, I mindfully reset feeling like a failure because of finances. To reset feeling guilty for asking for financial help now, I mindfully remind myself of the times that I have helped people in different ways over the years and even now. The free legal advice and consultations given to friend or friends of friends โ even when doing so meant that my 12-hour day became a 14-hour plus day.
โก๏ธ For SLM, there is value in helping others connect with love and light. There is value in directing our focus and attention on love and light. I feel this. I know this. And, sometimes, I feel embarrassed with a sense of imposter syndrome โ who am I to do this? Do I even have the skills to carry out SLMโs mission? Every time I had a moment of doubt, every single time, I receive a message from someone about how the SLM journal helped them, how the online journaling workshop pulled them through a dark time, or how a particular post just came into their feed right when they needed.

Yesterday, as I worried about finances, I asked for help. I was sitting with this request in silence. The idea for doing for this video asking for contributions for my KOFI page came to me. Because this idea came to me in a moment of stillness after I asked for help, I am doing my part and taking this inspired action.

Wanting to help others means being open to receiving help from others. Asking for financial support now is helping me live out my beliefs about being non-judgmental, about helping others, about the connections that bring humanity together.
By supporting SLM KOFI page, you are helping me to keep SLMs going. If you are not sure what that means, please take a look at SLMs website: www.silverliningmoments.com.
If you like, you can also send me a message and I will be happy to tell you what I am working on for SLM right now.
