Reliah, Offices, Resignation 2014

Thank you Reliah....

Hard Choices like this can suck in the moment its needed, but, once a course of action is decided, it can also be a great "sigh of relief", lol....

Enjoy your journey...

And honestly, thank you again for your help, and dedication...

Thank you for your service to the Temple, Reliah. I know this won't have been an easy decision for you to make.

I have no doubt you'll remain one of the leading voices of our community, offices or not.

Moi aussi, P'tite frangine, te me tiens reconnaissant du service que tu as fait tout au long de ces derniers mois. Ce m'était un privilège de pouvoir œuvrer à tes côtés sur les projets au Conseil, la clarté que tu m'as portée lors des modifications au Clergé et bien les nouveaux Chevaliers que nous nous sommes vus adouber ensemble ...

On comprend que les aléas de la Vie nous entraînent dans les aventures imprévues. Les missions changent avec des circonstances ... Telle est la Nature de la Force, telle est celle du Jedi.

Des choix durs ou faciles n'importent peu ; comme dit Krishnamurti, 'la Liberté est de ne pas devoir choisir'. Par extension, les choix durs sont bien souvent pris lorsqu'il devient encore plus dur de ne pas les prendre.

Tu sais que je serai toujours là pour toi, K ... Décisions dures ou non, prises ou non, TotJO ou bien non -- Jedi, ça toujours.

That's quite a bit right there. You're a good person. Be well, be happy.

Thank you for all you have done and will continue to contribute to our temple. You were the first to greet me when I arrived and I've always appreciated your kindness. Be well, and enjoy the little ones while they are still little

Thank you for all you've done here

thank you for all you did here I am glad we still have you here tho so at least that is still good.

Want to pass this one to you Reliah.... The gift of all this is you itself, never forget that.... It's an honor to be a member with you....

I posted this from my Council message so that others can understand that being Jedi does not mean we don't have cares of the world like family, jobs, etc... This is the real world, not the Star Wars Universe.... Though we have chosen to consciously live by a code, disciplines, etc., we have more than one path that has branches to the world... We will always be a family, through thick or thin.....

I soundly understand her reasons. We all know that life has a way of trumping us when we feel our directions are going in the proper directions and Karma as it may be, has a funny way of kicking us in the butt to the reality that there are some things you can not ignore in life no matter if it is in or out of TOTJO. I've been there, tasted that bitter moment and struggled at times to stay afloat. Sometimes you just need to take a step back, breathe and when your ready step into it again when you feel strong enough. That's life and I hope for the best for her and her family...
