"What brings you here today? Are you willing to do the work?" 1/16/21

During morning meditation, I asked my Spirit Guide Somoya what I needed to know for today.  I heard, "What brings you here today?  Are you willing to do the work?"  

Yesterday I had my first Zoom OPA support group for the community.  It was a shit show, to say the least! People were either inappropriate for group or being disrespectful.  Moving forward, I will now ask these two questions for Zoom support groups and for my five support groups on inpatient.  This will be a wonderful way to weed out the people who shouldn't be attending and hold them accountable in front of their fellow peers.  In addition, I created new guidelines for my OPA support groups last week.  These will be read at the beginning of each group.  Also, if someone is asking what is the group about, I will simply reply, "What skills are you looking to obtain in your recovery process?"  All of these questions that I ask, along with guidelines, should hopefully minimize future disruption and individuals hijacking groups.

What Are You Doing Snakes?

Wednesday, April 3rd During morning meditation, I asked my Spirit Guide Somoya what I needed to know for today.  I then heard an internal voice say, "What are you doing snakes?" The term "snakes" is a word I use to describe those I work with who are not ethical, don't follow rules, and talk behind my back-backstabbers.  Several "snakes" in my workplace have moved on in the past year.  It is not clear on whether or not they were asked to leave, or they left on their own volition.  Before their exits, I was very close to leaving my job that I am very passionate about, due to their behavior.   Currently, there are a few "snakes" that still remain.  I am much more hyper vigilant and mindful not to share or be trusting of these individuals.  I have to be very thoughtful about what I say and do as I move forward in my professional career.  I want to collaborate with the hospital and make my product available to as many people as possible...
