It’s okay to take some time for YOU.

I am giving myself permission to take some time. For ME.

Everything in me wants to rush over to my laptop and keep trying to find a way. Okay, everything in me wants to rest and do absolutely nothing for a week, but guilt keeps telling me I have to keep myself available.

I’m used to being available. All my working life, I took immense pride in ALWAYS being available.

My tired is terribly tired. I want to do nothing more strenuous than determining what snack to have with what movie.

Dare I do so, beloveds?

I think I dare.

I have been needing a stretch of time off forever. Now that I have the time off, because of the tornado, I am finding it difficult to just chillax and let things play out as they need to.

I want to KNOW what’s next. God just wants me to be still and know He IS God, as the good book says.

It’s okay to take a time out. The US Open starts tomorrow, so I am going to enjoy some ⛳ and continue watching old movies.

Give yourself permission to take some time for you.

Turn on the lights, would you please?

I’m trying to figure things out. I’m trying to keep laughing through these dark days.

Keep laughing, beloveds. Find the joy in your day. It’s there. Don’t allow anything or anyone to steal your joy.

Take your mind off your struggles. We are much more than our struggles.

I hope the lampshade made you smile. It helped me take my mind off of my fret this morning.

Have an amazing today.

Everything will be okay.

I have been anxious. I don’t know why.

Okay, I know why, beloveds, but pretending I don’t so I won’t have to admit I don’t know what to do about this 🗻 mountain I have not been able to make ANY headway up/over/around.

Since I couldn’t move my 🗻 mountain, I decided to see what I could do to remove a pebble or two from someone else’s.

Insodoing, I find my 🗻 mountain doesn’t look as daunting as it did a while ago.🥰

Life is short. Enjoy your day. Even the mountainous parts!

I made ☕ coffee and invited anxious to tell me what all the fret and fuss was about. Anxious stomped off in a huff. 🤷‍♀️ 😂

We shall all be alright, aite?

Take care of your beautiful heart.

Stuck.

I’m stuck. I texted this to my support:

I’m scared to take the last step I need to start my channel. I’m scared I will fail. I’m scared no one will care. I’m scared period. I’m mad at myself for being afraid. I’m stuck and not sure how to move past this part. What do I do with me now? Asking for a friend.

If anyone knows the answer, let me know. My fraidy 🙀 cat I awfully afraid just now. No idea why. Crapola.😳🙀🤡🧓

You are loved.

Just stopped by to send some love.

Have a wonderful day. Do something just for YOU.  Cut yourself some slack. Take some time to rest. Stop feeling guilty for having the need to rest a bit. I have been fighting this phenomenon for days.

I think these constant storms are finally taking their toll.

Be encouraged, beloveds. We are loved.

Note: Don’t worry, beloveds. Everything really will be alright. The 🌎 world seems upside down and unwieldy. It’s not. There are just a lot of folks chasing 🛍 💵 and trampling over everyone along the way.

Be encouraged. Keep moving FORWARD. Keep looking UP. Remember that you are loved and not alone.

You are.

I NEEDED to hear these words today. I have been feeling anything but.

I feel less than. I know that’s not true. It just FEELS true today.

Instead of brushing these feelings away, beloveds, I have decided to sit with them a while.

In the meantime, I just stopped by to give some care. I could use a bit of care today. I don’t know why.

My sad is not so much sad. Just looking around for a connection I can’t seem to find. I wonder if I am the only one?

Trying to be still.

Trying to have hope.

Trying sure can be trying!😳

Am currently sitting here trying not to try so damned hard. I am getting in my own way. I’m digging up plants to see if they are growing. Metaphorically, of course. I keep telling myself to chill. I have time. 56 keeps reminding me that 57 is showing up after a while!

Be encouraged, beloveds. We have time. I think.🥰😁⚒️😂

Keep showing up.

Keep showing up.

For you.

Keep showing up.

For them.

Keep showing up.

You will never know when your breakthrough will break through!

Keep showing up.

Despite the silence.

Keep showing up.

In spite of the resistance.

You will never know when your dreams will show up and show out!

You can do this thing called life, beloveds. In the meantime…

Keep showing up.

Make bad ones if you have to.

My nerves wanted to keep me in bed. They said, why should you try today?

I told myself, I’m going to try. I made an especially bad video this morning. It made me laugh. I’m going to have fun editing it.

We have to give life something to edit. We have to be willing to mess up. We have to be willing to give life a heaping pile of mess. How else will we learn and grow?

Have FUN with your mistakes. Enjoy your failures. You are going to make enough of them anyway!🤣

My nerves are soooooooooooo shot. Why? The financial news is not getting better. Hence 56 is growing a bit nervous. I keep telling her we have time.

Life is short. Let’s make the most of the ones we have, eh, beloveds?
