What Is Being Formed?

My mom is a potter and I'm so grateful to have her work in my home and office; used for function, beauty, and a reminder of her heart shared with me. Right now, she has a clump of clay that needs to be soaked before she can form it. I was struck by the idea that we sometimes need to be "soaked", steeped in something, to become pliable. We might not like it...though we may...and if I can choose it, I mean to say, welcome it, I can receive the soaking with gratitude. 

Professionally, this is true too. I know my next steps with developing my business is largely impacted by the "soaking" I'm receiving now. We can have a sense of how our professional goals will be expressed, but rarely do they "look exactly like" we "see" them at first. There is a formation and we can't predict it though we can participate.

I wonder what will be formed in me with this season's soaking...I choose to stay curious and willing to be pliable. I wonder what is forming in you and if you're becoming more pliable.

I wonder how we can choose to take "in" what is offered to us as we choose to participate in becoming what is in store for us and if we can delight even, in the refining processes. As a client this morning said "I'm excited" about the changes...as she reflected on challenges.

This week, I encourage you to notice your challenges and see them as opportunity to participate in being refined, edited, and formed into a lovely piece of your professional expression / art.
