in what moment
Often I am not in the moment, noticing my thoughts drifting as I sit where I am like a zombie, my mental eye glazed over and somewhere far away.
Working harder than I ever thought I could on my business this year, I feel in the moment. I feel stressed about my ever growing to-do list, caught up in task after task, rushing between appointments, struggling to keep up with my training clients and the never ending pile of admin work. Preoccupied with everything that needs to be done, it has been not just hard, but almost impossible to take a moment to think about where I was last year, two years ago, six, ten.
Finding these three cards in one procrastorganization session and seeing 2013, 2015 and 2019 in front of me, I feel really proud. These were my first three clients. The three owners that trusted me and the three dogs that taught me the most.
They each represent a phase of growth. They each embody what I feel the essence of The Naked Dog is. I see freedom, balance, trust. I see a vision of dogs being who they are meant to be: in nature, in the moment, and the invitation they offer us to join them.
I also see all the hard work, all the self doubt, the hours and years of having my boots on the ground every damn day, the many mistakes, and, most importantly, the courage to stick with it till I was positive that I knew what I was talking about, that my knowledge had value, that I could make people and dog's lives better by sharing what I know. I'm curious what will come next in the row... I hope it's a digital card, or something else Jetson's would use.
