We had a PES Project team meeting this morning. We were reviewing how the team has come along since we started this project six weeks ago. To refresh your memory, we have three "people" on the project and their names are Physical, Emotional and Spiritual.
Any time you start a project, the people on the team have different functions depending on their personality. Projects start with a goal in mind and then everyone gives their input and help. The project usually start with brain-storming of ideas, suggestions, thoughts. Well, so much for "usual" in the PES Project.
We had Powerful (or Power-hungry) Physical was ready to get out the door before we even had a chance to brain-storm. She had her agenda, walk and weigh. She was bound and determined that would meet the goal of peace and balance for Rayna. Excited Emotional was on the band wagon quite quickly too. Thinking of all thoughts, feelings, and fears that Rayna would come up against. She decided that doing a daily blog would be beneficial to finding peace for Rayna. She grabbed onto Physical and off they went for a walk. Physical providing the power and Emotional providing the thoughts that excited Rayna and got her writing almost every day. They left behind Sleepy Spiritual complaining, "Why do you girls have to meet so early? I'm not ready to wake up yet, much less participate in this project." Spiritual was wondering, "Where is God in Rayna's life? Will she find what her heart and soul needs?"
As with all projects, all the team members are usually excited from the beginning. They come up with ideas and plans to meet the goal of the project. Then the planning is over and work must begin. Physical and Emotional started fighting about the best way and who's pulling their weight around here and who's not. Physical said, "This is no fun anymore, we have to work. It's not coming along as easily as I thought it would." Emotional was running on fumes, no more new ideas, it was hard for her to motivate any longer. They were both getting tired just as Spiritual starting waking up.
"Come on girls, there is hope for Rayna," Spiritual shouted. "Don't give up on this project!' Physical and Emotional raised their eyebrows and looked at Spiritual and said to her, "It's about time you did something on this project. What did you say? There is hope?"
"Yes, hope." Spiritual replied. The team members decided to pull themselves together and renew their efforts to get the PES Project back on track and going towards its goal. In fact, Physical walked 3 miles today so that Emotional had lots of time to work on the the minutes of this meeting. Spiritual was the cheerleader! :)

I am so proud of you Rayna! and of course I always like your storytelling. That's another one of your gifts. Keep taking one day at a time and one step at a time. I told Robyn yesterday that I had joined Weight Watchers last Monday. She said she has been going through work, but not really applying the concept. she said she will have to be a little more stern with herself. She said by WWW IX we should be a "little" bit more health conscience. Keep on truckin'. Love, Lenesker
Hey Lene -- you can't tattle on me! Yes, Rayna, you have inpired both of us to take a look at ourselves, take better care of ourselves so we can love ourselves. We're still young (comparatively speaking, ha, ha), so we are committed to ACTING before it's too late. Thanks for the inspiration. Keep up the good work!
