Oh, Joelle -- My heart was with you be*fore* I heard your story, because I have come to know the incredible Ms. Elena and because I was thrilled to here (back in October when I met you) that you were going to be involved in this wonderful project.
But then when I hear of your m a n y surprises and everyone's (no surprise) ability to swim through the waves like dolphins... But oh, to have them all happen in one gathering !! I think sometimes that the cosmos must have such a sense of (twisted) humor (but humor, nonetheless) and that there is never any moment that I doubt that humans are incredible for their resilience, creativity, stubbornness and spirit! This one goes down in the books as one I shall share with any trainer or facilitator I train. Gee, up to now, I have only been able to tell stories about one's materials being locked up and unavailable, or there being no food or water. You top the list, girl! Joelle, I cannot imagine a better person to represent us for this exchange with our Siberian colleagues. If I were to choose anyone, it would be you. You are all very lucky to have found each other, I know.
