The Synchronicity of Friendships

About 7 years ago, I read an article in a magazine called Synchronicity and Leadership written by an early childhood administrator from Boston. Immediately - yes it was synchronicity, I wrote back to him and our friendship and caring has blossomed over the years. He just sent the following message:

Martie,

I am so impressed with your new site. Congratulations and much success. You are the living proof of believing in oneself. This site would not exist without your positive belief system and peseverance.

As a man who entered this field nearly 40 years ago (and has loved every second of it since!!), I have always felt that "power" in our EEC world needs to be thought of from the "feminine" side or perspective...i.e. as the power of attraction based on relationships, spirituality, caring and possibilities. Our field is 98% female and I for one have learned so much about the "yin" way of power...trusting in the intuitive and holistic to direct and guide from within. I think the world could use a really good dose of that right now.

If I had a wish, I would hope that the "power from within" that you write about would bring/attract the right people, the right information, the right actions to each and everyone of us in order that each of us might help "right" the world in the most profound and powerful way imaginable. Children and families all over the globe empowered need to be true to themselves and one another. And it all begins with the caregivers, educators and nurturers of young children being caught in the act modeling the way.

Thanks, Martie, for your good heart and powerful actions that are helping to make this a reality.

Best. Jim Robertson, Boston, MA
