W e sat in a circle on top of the world reconnecting with each other and ourselves after a two-year hiatus since the conclusion of our empowerment workshop.
Racheli had reminded us about the workshop we’d done with the ropes and I’d remembered the frustration I’d experienced that day. Now we were curiously waiting to hear how that workshop had affected Racheli.
“It didn’t even occur to me to get frustrated ” Racheli said. “Dahlia set the pace for us. When she sped up I had to stay with her or drop the rope. If she slowed down I had to pull the reins to slow down or I’d drop the rope. It simply never occurred to me that she could also match my speed.
“Dahlia is so full of self-confidence so sure of herself that I just naturally followed her lead. But when we spoke afterward I realized for the first time that I can also set the pace.”
