I would have to say that my ah-ha moment happened about a year ago. I had been a member of 2 related service organizations. One I enjoyed and had plans to move up in the organization. The other I really didn’t feel the joy with these ladies that I used to. My sister, my rock and my conscience, asked me “If you didn’t renew that membership, how would you feel?” I didn’t even have to think about it, my answer was “relief”. I did renew my membership for this year because I know the financial strain they are experiencing, but I haven’t been to a single meeting this year. I miss some of the ladies I had become friends with, but I still see them at various events. That decision gave me the ability to travel and learn about other countries and cultures. And my sister is still encouraging me to take those trip, spread my wings, so to speak, and to be my honest self.
