Cue Epic Dance Tunes-A Topsy Turvy Year so far…
Where have you been all my life???
Hey everyone! If you missed me, let me know. Because I often feel lonely. However, I didn't disappear... it's only been 30 days since I last posted a blog. OK..... it's been a minute.
I created content until February for some sweet Valentine's activities, but I couldn't bring myself to publish it. My heart just wasn't in it. And it wasn't about the content. It's just that my mind and heart were elsewhere. My grandfather passed away in January and honestly, it took a mental toll on me. I knew it was coming, and it still hit me harder than I thought.
These are my confessions.
DID YOU SEE THE HALF TIME SHOW?!?!?!
Speaking of confessions...I just wanted to see SpongeBob perform.
The Usher performance reminded me of the movie Dodgeball.
I am currently battling myself and my anger towards a particular family member.
I wanted to host a summit for connections in January and it didn't go as planned. And I am upset at myself for not communicating better.
I like moving, but I don't like packing and trying to set up some place new. Although, staying in one location does add stress too.
I ate 6 burnt cookies in one sitting because I wasn't going to throw out just over-baked allergy friendly cookies. And I miiiight have eaten my feelings, or lack thereof.
I put my Take back bag in a safe place and forgot where that safe place is.
I found my Take back bag almost a week later in the spot that I thought was safe and forgot. Did I mention I need glasses to see?
Hi, it’s me…I'm the problem…
First, thanks, Taylor Swift, for all your amazingness.
We can learn a lot from Taylor… Females on Fire's Hayley Luckadoo has a podcast (episode number 222) so you can listen to it on your favorite podcast streaming service. However, I mention Taylor Swift because there are a lot (and I mean A LOT) of memes going around right now saying how she can do all these things and “we normal people” (psst…she is human too) can’t even transfer our laundry over. BUT... I need to say that she has clearly decided on her priorities and has a supportive team behind her.
All these things that are happening to me and only some of it I can control… However, I realized that I was the problem this time.
I didn't respect my boundaries. I allowed that client to not respect my boundaries. I don't work on the weekends, or after 3pm Monday through Friday. I may work after 3pm sometimes, but I am not taking client calls.
I can't give my family and my client my attention. I want to be present during dance and scouts, and I can't do that if I am worrying about my client.
May you remember to take care of yourself. You cannot pour from an empty cup. You wouldn't let your phone battery die... so don't drain yourself to the point of breakdown. Self-care isn't selfish.
So, turn on some tunes and have an epic dance party... it helps me. <3
