Happy Thursday!! Well, it is Thursday, right?? 🤔

Friends, it’s been that sort of week for the both of us and that’s what we are going to chat about tonight.

Has your week been like ours?? How do you get through it? Tune in tonight and let’s chat about it.

See you at 6!!

Is it summer yet?

26/01/2023

Tune in tonight at 6pm!! It’s been a week so we are gonna wing it. What do you want to talk about???

18/01/2023

We've got things to say.....

Okay friends…gonna get real for a minute. 🫣

First though, we (mainly I) want to apologize for not doing what we said we’d do for you all this week and that was get a video posted. We were going to go live tonight and I simply couldn’t. I needed to check out for a minute. It’s been a heavy week.

This is where it (I) get(s) real.

I don’t even really know where to start. The pictures below show an entire collection of happy to sad to putting on a face that looks happy to not giving a s**t about what emotion shows. It’s my life. Every. Damn. Moment. Every damn moment in each of those photos. Some are recent and some are old, but they all convey the same thing. Life. Feelings. Reaction. Strength. Weakness. Fight. Giving in.

A while back during a conversation with one of my close friends (you know who you are), I expressed my feelings about how I felt about the holidays and since Bob passed away I didn’t care to celebrate them or my birthday for that matter. My friend then questioned my “happiness” that I portray in what I share on FB or anywhere for that matter. I explained that yes, while I am happy a good 95.999% of the time, there are those moments when I deal with emotions that I do not like to show. Why not show them? Why don’t most people share all of their emotions? Embarrassment. Feelings of guilt. People feeling sorry for you. Uncomfortableness. The list goes on…

As did my conversation with my friend and it lead me to this post. Our conversation continued with me being called out for putting on a front of happiness which threw me for a loop. Because they were right - nailed it! I’ve known it for a long time that I’ve done that - lots of grief and life counseling will make you learn things about yourself, but never, ever in the last 12, almost 13 years, have I EVER been called out on it.

Was I mad? Nope.

I was relieved. Yes! I was relieved because this one friend had called me out on something that I felt I had hidden so well. When I asked how they knew that’s what I did, their reply was that they “saw me”. I mean isn’t that what we all want? We want to be seen? To be truly seen?

Tears rolled down my face. This friend got me. Got all of me. They saw me. 100% - All. Of. Me. Regardless if there was a smile or tears or a confused look, they saw me and knew what was underneath every emotion.

I share this with all of you because we shouldn’t be ashamed or embarrassed to where our feelings on our selves or to show them even if they may make those around you uncomfortable. Feelings are a part of life. We should own every single one of them.

Our feelings should be shared and experienced. I know all too well from experience that if you don’t let them out when you feel them, they come at you with a vengeance and it’s more than feelings you get to deal with. They may make you physically sick. My body knocks me down with migraines. It’s not fun. But the funny thing is until this conversation, it was the norm. It’s what I did - held those feelings in. Since then, I haven’t. And let me tell ya - holy feelings overload.

It’s a blessing and a curse to feel so much for every single person you care about and to take on all that they are feeling, but it’s what I do. If me taking on your feelings allows you to not have to learn how to put on a front or hide behind the feelings you may have, then I’ll do it. I’ll do it every dang day.

So take a look again at the photos.

This is me.

All of me.

Authentically me.

I’m not looking for sympathy or kudos or sharing, it’s simply an inside glimpse of what makes me who I am. Who I am on the inside and on the outside.

Good morning friends!

Here’s a little reminder from our conversation on Thursday. Regardless of the size of the step, you are still moving forward. Don’t forget that.

2023 are you ready for us??

05/01/2023

Happy 2023!!

Are you ready to grab this new year by the horns and get after it?

We are!! And we are going to start the year off by talking about words. Yes. Words. Do you have a word for the year ahead of you? A word that you’ll use to guide you through this next year? If not, that’s okay, we are both still trying to narrow ours down as well.

There are so many things to keep in mind when you choose your word to make sure it’s the right one. All sorts of things come into play when you start to think about it and we thought it would be a great way to start our conversations off this New Year.

Tune in Thursday night and we’ll talk about tips on picking out your word, how to use it in your daily life going forward and lots of other fun things to do with your word.

Tune in Thursday night at 6. Don’t miss the fun!! We can’t wait to see you!!
