Dancing Naked

I can’t believe that it’s really been since August since my last blog post.  One thing that can be said about my life is that it is always changing.  In writing that, I know that I need to change that experience if I want my life to chill for a while.  But, I’m good with change, for it is through change that we grow the most and become our true selves.

It seems that days, weeks, and months fly by, and before I realize it, several months have gone by.  My past experience has been that things are always busy.  And they have been.  Busy is not necessarily bad – it’s now we react to that busy-ness.  It is how we believe that busy-ness.  Perhaps we see it as overwhelming, but one thing for sure is that we are living!

Life just is – to be experienced, lived, participated in, and shared.  I have learned many insights and grown exponentially.  I am living life as a fully active participant – not standing by and watching.  My intention is to share with my readers my experiences in the coming year so that we may walk this path together.  It is important to share my new quest path.  Why?  I know that many of you out there experience challenges and what could be perceived as setbacks.  I will share mine with you.  One thing about setbacks – they are not!  We may think that losing that job, losing that client, having to experience something that you thought was long gone are setbacks.  But, they are merely events that have occurred so that you can master a lesson.  These are amazing opportunities to grow and provide challenges to be what we desire to be.  So, the next time you feel slapped in the face with yet another “setback,” give it a smile.  Write it down.  Record your emotions surrounding this event.  Embrace those emotions.  Ask yourself one important question – what does the solution to this event look like?  Journal about it!  And this is important!  Allow for your process – don’t be self-critical and do NOT play the blame game.  Just process and allow yourself to grow with it.  That doesn’t mean you have to like it!  Grow with it!

So, where have I been the past few months?  Working at my new work, seeing clients at Earth Touch that I desire to see, preparing for 11:11:11, and being me being wife, mother, grandmother, and sister.  And to top that all off – I made the decision to go back to college to get that degree.  College is a life long dream of mine, and now I am living that dream.  I will say that it is a challenge to integrate my study time with work, family, and play time.  I am finding that I a lot smarter than I thought I was and I can write!  Fancy that!

I am living my life.  Sometimes, it’s not so pretty, but it’s my life.  I have had people say to me that there is always something going on in my life, and they are right.  Funny, though, I don’t think they are meaning that as a compliment.  Frankly, I have learned not to care about that.  There will be those naysayers that try to undermine growth and learning.  So, I let them have their say and smile to myself inside.  I am good with that.  I know where I desire to go.  I have created a map to get there.  And I have embarked on this journey with my eyes wide open.  I am ready to take that next step.  Are you ready to join me?  Fasten your seat belts – you are stepping onto my ride now!
