Think back to a period in your life when you felt completely adrift and uncertain, without a sense of direction or purpose. Who or what provided you with guidance or stability during this time?
Meeting the “catalyst”... this word is so meaningful to me! I have been thinking about it for some time now as my family moved to Qatar in 1980 and it had far reaching effects on the course of my life.
Time to write my Qatar List - whilst remembering two particular catalysts for my own inner changes. One who picked me up when I was going through the biggest challenge of my life and took me in when my home (and it’s contents) were repossessed - he was an absolute rock during those dark days - and the other who became one of the greatest friends I’ve ever had the pleasure to know, but died in 2022.
In fact, I found my dragon at the latter’s house! His bathroom suite was labelled RAK, and having been aware of my own personal dragon for some time at that point, it told me that was its name. “It stands for Random Acts of Kindness” it said 🥰
Now I find myself taking the greatest leap of faith I’ve ever consciously taken, and although it’s scary, I know it’s also time. Thank you for your insights - they’re helping massively!
I’m touched to hear how resonant the concept of the “catalyst” was for you, and I’m grateful that my post could offer you some comfort during this transformative time in your life. The stories you’ve shared about your catalysts are profoundly moving, and I’m glad you had such strong support during those challenging periods.
I love the name of your dragon, RAK!
As you take this bold leap of faith, I wish you all the best. It’s brave to step into the unknown, and it sounds like you’re doing it with a great deal of heart and hope. Thank you again for sharing your experience with me.
Hearts and hope by the bucketload, thank you for your kind words ❤️
