Time to stop hiding. Time to get out there and live.
I tell myself this EVERY day. Sure wish I could hide today. Life won’t let me.
Embarrassed, I throw myself out there. Again. Jiminy Great Jehoshaphat!😳🧱
Keep putting yourself out there, beloveds. There is a world waiting for YOU.

I HAD to share this!
A dear friend taught me several years ago. HOW to stop living in my feelings. I had NO idea, beloveds, how much I had allowed feelings to guide my every action.
If I didn’t feel like starting something, I didn’t start it.
If I started something and didn’t feel like finishing it, I didn’t finish it.
If I finished it, and nobody liked it, my feelings were hurt.
Jimeny Crickets and Jehoshaphat!😳
What an EXHAUSTING way to have lived. It’s a good thing I learned, as the tornado came and made certain I lived by FAITH. I could NOT afford to live by my feelings.
I STILL can’t allow it. Alone, at 56, I HAVE to remain focused, hopeful and positive.
Truth be told, beloveds, remaining hopeful, amidst seemingly hopeless odds and circumstances is NOT fun.
I pray. I cry. I laugh. I pray, laugh AND cry. 😳😁🙏
I CAN say that I am sooooooooo thankful to be standing on FAITH. Standing on fear, doubt and terror was sooooooo exhausting!
I can truly say I am blessed. Alone. At 56.😁😎❤🤗🥰
Be encouraged. Keep moving FORWARD. Keep looking UP. I promise it works.
This is NOT your end. This is but a story being written by TIME. Give Time the time it needs, to work for your good. Okay?

What she said!
Just HAD to share this.
Be encouraged, beloveds. Life is short. Stop stressing about bills. Enjoy your friends and family.
Start a blog. Start a channel. Start an adventure. I have been having a blast working on my channels. I am building one day at a time.
I am learning so much about ME as I live life with intention. Without fear. With a ton of mistakes and laughter.
Ah, God. I am seeing the method to all this hard and madness.

Yay!
I started again, again!
I have wanted to start THIS channel for years. And, years. And, years.
I let fear stop me. I let age stop me. I let doubt stop me.
A tornado stopped by and told me to LIVE.
I chose life.
This is my start. I hope it inspires others to move past their fears.
Life is short.
Please let me know in the comments your thoughts. If you start the video, please allow it to play through to help the Algorithm and give it a comment and like. 😎
This is my needle in a haystack. I must leave it there. Yes, chances are slim to none that MY voice will be received, heard, reciprocated.
That said, slim can’t meet none if I walk away, eh?
I stopped ’round to encourage someone to keep putting yourself out there. Someone is waiting just for YOU!
Be encouraged.

Note: Beloveds, I am learning HOW to fight for my dreams, IN REAL TIME. Before, I would have allowed myself to wallow in pity.
I would have castigated myself for hoping. I would have hid in comfort eating.
Now, I allow myself to sit with the disappointment, with the discouragement, with the frustration, with the embarrassment.
Then, I allow that I am one of billions. My needle IS there, though.
I am doing my best to BE a light. Be encouraged. Keep being a light. Someone needs the way lighted home!🤗❤🙏🥰🎯🧱🌍

You SHALL make your dreams come true.
Please be patient with me as I improve my chops.
I’m trying to make it happen. I’m trying to make a difference.
I hope you enjoy my try.
Have an amazing today. I love you.

Note: What do you dream of? Don’t be afraid to start. If afraid, start anyway. Start anywhere. You will feel like an idiot, at first. That’s okay. The feeling will pass. Leaving you incredibly blessed and at peace with your try.
I believe in you. Believe in yourself.
One step.

Stay focused on YOUR why, beloveds. I know. I know. Life is laughing all up in your face.
Your dreams are being ghosted. The mountain seems to be getting higher.
Your support has grown bored with your talk of dreams. You are growing bored, with talks of dreams…*sigh*.
This is where fear and doubt loves to pop in and pop off. Tell them both to kick rocks.
I am having a cup of coffee, while I reset my focus back on my why.
I am reaching out in as many ways as I can think of. The results have been little, to nada.
I’m learning to keep making it do what it do, in the middle of disappointment. I am learning how to make disappointment a friend.
Disappointment keeps telling me to move FORWARD. To try again. And again. And again. I will.
Be encouraged, beloveds. Keep doing your why. Remind yourself why you are doing your why.
In the meantime, enjoy the rest of your day. Enjoy your journey. Reflect on the positive changes you are evoking.
Celebrate your try. Appreciate that the way is hard. That’s okay. Enjoy the day.
We got this. We are making an impact. We are being a light. This is enough. We are enough.
cheering us on,

I just HAD to share this!
Keep putting yourself out there, beloveds. In as many spaces and places as you can.
I have spent a delicious hour writing more Substack pieces to share next week.
So far, not many views. Far less than in here. In here, as far as the world is concerned, I haven’t done very much, or reached many folk, in five years.
I have done what I could. I will continue to do so.
The joy, beloveds, has been in the showing up.
I can not tell you how much joy I get from even one connection. Even if that one has been only me.😳😎🤗🤣🥰😁
Life is short. I am living it. I just had a fabulous coffee yak with my twin.
Now, I am listening to motivation, so I can fill up with motivation, so I can give out motivation. Rinse. Repeat.
It feels good to have removed the strings from my life. I no longer have the world caught up in strings of my expectations.
Yes, I desire for connections with and from the world. Still, I no longer place my value on how many did or did not.
I love. I care. I keep it moving. I enjoy those who return the favor. I ain’t mad at those who did not.
I am one of billions. It may take a while for my tribe to find me. I can only keep putting myself out there to be found.
Keep putting yourself out there, beloveds. Don’t be discouraged if your tribe has not shown up yet.
At least, one has. Me! Tada! 😁🥰🤣🤗😎😳
I love you. Have an amazing day. I just wanted to share this awesome Tiktok.
