Resilience

Life circumstances change and life’s meaning changes. It takes resilience to recover from or adjust easily to change or misfortune - to ignite that feeling inside that something good will come.

In early March, 2008, I attended the opening of the art exhibit, Backyards and Beyond, in Jackson, MS. Eighty-one paintings by H.C. Porter depict the resilient people and the devastation of Katrina, one of the worst natural disasters in the history of our country. Being a collector of one of the paintings for the two year tour, I want the world to get to know the personal stories of these resilient Mississippians, many of whom attended the opening; and to remember that help is still needed two and a half years later.

• How do you react when change or misfortune comes into your life?
  
  
• In the aftermath of a failed relationship is it hard for you to say: what is good about this situation?
  
  
• Having created a special project at work that proves unsuccessful, do you say: what’s next?

For those situations when you need to pick yourself up, dust yourself off and start all over again, call me. Together we will honor your resilience and discover ‘what’s next’.

With warm regards,
