Happy New Year everyone! How many of you followed the time honoured tradition, and pledged your allegiance to a resolution? I must admit I’ve never subscribed to this practice. Perhaps I don’t trust myself to follow through. On the other hand, I can’t say it’s ever occurred to me to attempt it. I prefer to work on myself on an on-going basis. For me New Year’s Eve is just a good excuse to kick back and celebrate.

Still, the New Year is a time to reflect and motivate yourself to take steps in new directions, to breathe new life into your life. If you’re a fan of Ellen Degeneres you’re familiar with the Life List. This is a list of all the things, big or small, that you wish to accomplish in your lifetime. Maybe putting it in writing is a good way to inspire yourself to act on some of those passing fancies, like white water rafting, hang gliding, and taking French and German classes. How exciting would that be?

Why do we seldom get around to doing the things we wish we could do? Fear, of course, is probably the #1 excuse, followed closely by lack of time, and feeling we don’t deserve to do it. All of the aforementioned are concocted by a devious mind created to protect us from the dangers. The reality is that most of those dangers lurk only within the confines of our minds. It’s worthwhile to learn to transcend the mind in order to experience the joy of being alive. The alternative is to stay trapped in our fears and victim mentality. That really doesn’t sound like a lot of fun, does it?

As I sit here typing, I’m waiting for news about beloved family member and SignEquip Technical Manager, George Corbin. This morning a confrontation with some ice in a parking lot landed him in the emergency ward with a badly broken leg. Wouldn’t you know, he was working out of town at the time, so his vehicle was left behind, and he was shuttled via ambulance to meet with an orthopedic surgeon in Westlock. I’m still waiting for word on that, and Blair is trying to contact George’s wife and daughter. This will not be a pleasant surprise for them. My prayers go out to all three.

That’s how we’ve started the New Year at SignEquip. What can it mean? Quantum physicists tell us that out of chaos comes order. This is one of those times to contemplate that theory. I remember Deepak Chopra telling us that when things are not going his way, he’s come to understand that something amazing is about to happen. So, now when things are going badly according to Deepak, he actually looks forward to what’s in store. I like that perspective. What is it they say about the best made plans? Sometimes we need to relinquish control and let the Divine intervene. I believe that if we could learn to do this in the first place, it wouldn’t be necessary to have so many unsavory experiences before we have few choices left, but to give in to our destiny.

George, of course, will have to deal with the hard stuff on the healing end. He’s been working so hard for all of us lately, running all over western Canada to ensure that everyone is up and running without any glitches. His schedule has been so crazy, he’s found it difficult to pencil in some well deserved time off. I guess now he’ll get time off. I‘m quite certain this is not what he would have had in mind, but time off it is, and now he has no choice but to make the best of it

We all will... Have to make the best of it, that is. Right now our concern is with George and his well-being. Then we’ll have to plan and regroup to continue to serve you with our usual attention to your needs. Patience will be required, but I’ve no doubt we’ll come up with something that will serve everyone’s best interests even better than before. Times like this require change. They force us to correct, if we wish to continue. So, in the true spirit of the game of life and business, that is what we will do. It will be an interesting test of what we’re made of. I know that we, as well as many of you, have become dependent on George’s presence and abilities. The fact that he’ll sacrifice so much of his time to serve the company and you, our clients, is noteworthy, and we’ve taken it for granted. Well, George won’t be doing any running around for a bit. I hope he takes this time to replenish and heal. I pray it won’t be too difficult for him.

Have I made it abundantly clear that I believe everything happens for a reason? I also believe it happens in order to serve us. Not that I’ll be confronting George with this point - at least not immediately - that is if I want to continue to have the ability to open my beak and spout forth such provocative ideas. There is a time for keeping one’s beak shut, and simply showing compassion. After all, I have the luxury of standing back a bit to watch the scenario unfold. When you’re the one on the stage, it’s a definite test of fortitude. Besides, there’s a distinct advantage to putting something in writing - I don’t have to be present when it’s read - a little something I learned from my cousins, the chickens!

While George is having his new experience, I’m about to engage is one myself. This weekend I’ll be attending a Kundalini Dance workshop, facilitated by my daughter and her partner at Ekstasis Dance. I’ll be taking a journey through the chakras to learn specific tools to transcend the mind, clear emotions, and regenerate my life energy. I’m all for that. Best of all I get to do it while moving my body to music. It’s all about the mind-body relationship, and its connection to spirit. It’s an amazing way to shift negative energy, and experience the joy of being alive. I’m looking forward to attracting new energy. Blair will join us, too.
