The Waiting Game
I just cannot WAIT for things to be normal again! That sentiment, in all its variations, seems to be on continuous loop in so many of our conversations.
During these unusual times, I find many people waiting it out. Waiting patiently for the pandemic to be over. Waiting until there is certainty. Waiting until times are better. Waiting for the steady background hum of anxiety to fade.
As the pandemic and related economic upheaval drags on, I have started to notice a common theme in conversation. We are all so tired. So ready for it to be over and for life to resume. It is as if someone hit a cosmic “pause” button back in early March and we’ve been waiting for the “play” button to resume the activities of our lives.
Waiting. For some of us, waiting is an exercise of patience and surrender. There is peace in the waiting. A quiet acceptance and deep sense of calm. For others, waiting is a torturous place where our driving, “Type A” inner selves long for action, decisiveness, and bold steps forward. Admitting that there are some things (gasp!) that we have absolutely no control over can be an uncomfortable confession. Waiting seems to go against the grain of our capable, efficient nature.

Meet Impact100 WA – A Ripple Effect |
Last week Impact100 Western Australia made a big impact awarding $330,000 to nine different organizations. And, the impact didn’t stop there, as they say.
After the presentations and member vote, more impact was on the way. First, a donor in the audience was so inspired by what they saw and heard; they personally gave an additional $10,000 to two of the three finalist organizations. Then, another donor stepped up to give $10,000 to another of the charities presenting on the night!
After an evening of remarkable inspiration and generosity, Impact100 WA woke up the next day to learn that $7,500 more in donations would further benefit their grantee finalist organizations, and that four new computers would be heading to one of the charities to help with an urgent need to offer services online during COVID-19.
