Summer is in full swing and so is Covenant. We, as usual, have a lot going on. Yard Sales, and Sanctuary care days aside we have Fort Collins Pagan Pride Day coming up, we just had Untamed, and we’re gearing up for our autumn events like Witches Ball.
It’s enough to make the head spin. So in that vein I’d like to take a moment to remind everyone that we can only do so much. No one expects any of us to be super human and do everything with a smile. We each have our limits, we each have our own home lives to attend to and all of that is okay.
We often say that everyone is welcome to participate as they are able. Not mandated to participate, not expected to give until it hurts. As we are able. You are all very giving and caring people, and Council thanks you for your participation whether it is every week or just from time to time. And yes, together we accomplish so much more than we could alone. But please remember to be gentle with yourself. Remain compassionate with others as they face the stresses of their lives. The saying goes: everyone is fighting a battle you know nothing about. So when you need to take a minute, a day, a week, or even longer for yourself, do that.
So as we celebrate our accomplishments and plan for the future, remember to make time for yourself. You are all precious to us and we will always have more to do, more to build later. But if you burn yourselves out it does no one any good at all.
Many, many blessings to all of you. Jordan
