We will NOT run!

I have been fighting fear wherever I come across it. I have been finding it in my age. I have been finding it in my thoughts.

I am ruthless with fear now. I start throwing haymakers IMMEDIATELY.

It’s okay to be attempted to give fear leadership. Fear lies to you and can be awfully persuasive. Just don’t believe the hype. Deal with fear head on.

I grow every time I confront my fears and weaknesses. There is nothing wrong with not being strong in an area. We work on our weakness. We accept ourselves as we work on us.

None of us will ever be perfect. We CAN be decent people though. I choose to be a loving and decent person. A bit boring, perhaps, but decent!

My coffee says I am being rude. Join me if you’d like. I have decided to spend the day watching ridiculously predictable action movies. I need to see some winning.

Have a beautiful day.

You are doing the best you can.

You ARE doing your best, beloveds. Let your try be enough.

I never seem to FEEL like I am enough these past few months.

My try FEELS inadequate. My attempts SEEMS as though they are not looking. It LOOKS likes my dreams are not taking hold.

Things are NOT what they seem. We are exactly where we are supposed to be at this time in our lives.

Be encouraged. Enjoy your today. I spent a delightful Sunday yakking with fam and a friend. I then followed up with a ridiculously predictable action movie. Tell me WHY beloveds, nobody can seem to shoot the good guys? Why does the good guy NEVER miss?! Why are folk forever jumping on motorcycles when they are going chased by black SUVs?🤣😳

The damsel was rescued by the man. Of course. The poor woman was helpless and grateful. Of course. Don’t get me started on stereotypes today.

I think I shall go find some chocolate donuts to rescue from their encampment and free some coffee as well. Who wants to be my sidekick?🥰😎🤣

Note: Have an amazing week. It is taking everything within me to maintain my joy. between the storms and vertigo life has not been funny. I have had to change how I do things. I work as long as I can, because there are days when I just can’t work. in the past, I would have driven me up ten walls. I have learned and I’m still learning to work with what I have. 56 is teaching me many a lesson. 56 goes to bed when she wants to and doesn’t care if it’s in the middle of the afternoon!

Have an amazing rest of your day. Be sure to get your me time in there. Make sure to cut yourself some slack. Remember, you’re doing the best that you can. That’s all you can ask of yourself.

You don’t have to wait for your 🥓 bacon to arrive.

I was hungry. I wanted bacon and eggs. I placed an order.

My order was a few minutes away. I looked at what I did have and realized I could have most of my meal prepared and make the bacon when it came. I didn’t have to wait till the bacon came to start preparing my meal.

I did just that. I had things timed perfectly. In just a bit, I was happily munching on a feast. This had me thinking about my life and all that I can do while I’m waiting for my dreams to show up and show out.

You don’t have to wait for this to happen before you do some things. Use what you have. Take advantage of your now. This is the only time that we get. Let’s make the best of it.

Note:

Running on empty.

I am running on empty. I am running out of encouraging things to say. Okay, I’m not but it just feels like it. I’m tired of the same old, same old. I’m ready for change. I’m ready to be doing something different. I’m tired of this limbo I find myself in this last year.

I wonder if people get tired of my rah rah messages every single day?

The Universe told me to rest today and watch some action movies. Yet I find myself here. I wonder if anyone else is running on empty these days.

There has been 14 confirmed two tornadoes in my state these past few months. Exhausting. Overwhelming. Depressing. Discouraging. It feels like they would never end. I know they will eventually.

In the meantime, It’s important that we take care of ourselves. It’s important that we allow ourselves time to refresh and to refill. I think I will go find some movies to watch. I need a hero today. I don’t have the strength to be my own hero. I hear popcorn calling. Who wants to join me?

Make sure to take care of yourself. There is only one you. Summer will be upon us soon. Enjoy your day. Enjoy your life the best that you can. Remember all the things that you still have.

Remember that you are more than what you do or what you have. I have to remind myself of it every day.

What is your greatest 💪 strength, The Universe 🌌 asked me.

The Universe 🌌: What is your greatest strength?

Me: Why do you ask?

The Universe 🌌: Why won’t you answer?

Me: What if my answer disappoints?

The Universe 🌌 : Disappoints who?

Me: Yikes! Great question.

I have been trying to figure out my greatest strength for the last 56 years. Even now, I wonder.

Life seems to grow shorter by the day. I don’t want to fail. I don’t want to fall. I seem to be doing both lately.

I can’t believe we are already in to May!

Right now, my greatest strength seems to be stubbornness. I refuse to give up. I refuse to quit. I refuse to believe that it’s all over for me and my dreams. I find myself trying again. I gave up about two or three times last week.

Everything seems to be so hard right now. Everyone is stressed out. The world just seems to be a dark and dank place. It’s not. We are all in transition of some sort. We just have to keep hanging on until we find out what our strength is and then walk in that truth.

Keep fighting. Keep moving forward. Don’t lose heart no matter how dark the day seem. We can do this. We really can. We will.

Have an amazing day.

God asked me: Why are you here?

God: Why are you here?

Me: I have been asking this question for 50 years.

God: Why are you here, with Me?

Me: Because I love You. Because You first loved me.

God: What shall you DO while you are HERE. At THIS time?

Me: I was hoping You would tell me.😁🤣🥰

Approval.

Recognition.

Validation.

Love.

Safety/security.

We are all in search of these things. We all wonder, I think, what in the world are we doing here?!😳

My 56 is wondering if I will have a 57. 60 seems much too close for comfort.

I do NOT want to leave this world without having fulfilled my whatever in the fresh hoohah I am supposed to. Ack.

I wonder if I will be asking this question 50 years from now. One can dream, eh?

Whilst you are wondering, beloveds, be sure to embrace the life you have.

Have a wonderful today.

What is your biggest fear, Life asked me.

Life: What is your biggest fear?

Me: I’m afraid to ask myself.

Life: Why?

Me: I’m not sure what that answer might be.

Life: What is your greatest fear?

My greatest fear is dying with all of this greatest locked up inside. There are so many things I want to do. It feels like I’m running out of time. I sure hope not. I’m doing the best I can to use these days for my benefit. I feel inadequate to the task. I try anyway.

I have been fighting with the limitations of software, a lack of finances and not knowing which step is the right step to take. In the past, I would have used these things as excuses not to try. I would have given up in despair. I would have stopped and been angry at how unfair life was being to me.

Life can be terribly unfair. So what? We have things to do.

What is your biggest fear? Whatever it is, don’t let fear stop you from being all that you can be. Seize every moment that you can. I shall do the same.

Let’s promise ourselves we’re not going to give up no matter what happened. I dare you to try.

Use hard for your good.

I am at an impasse.

I have run out of space to upload/export…*sigh*.

Geeez, God.

In times past, I would have been having ten fits and blaming the entirety of the world.

I have learned, I am learning still, HOW to maneuver and keep my joy through EVERY circumstance.

Joy has NOTHING to do with what happens or does not happen. Joy has nothing to do with what we have or don’t have.

Joy can be found and had in the bleakest of circumstances.

Be encouraged, beloveds. Don’t despair when you run out of room. You are doing al you know. All you can do is give what you have and ask The Universe to push things over the finish line.

I have done my part. I am fixing to have a cup of coffee and wait for amazing to show up.🥰😎

joyful in the middle of lack,

Listen: If you can’t find common ground, at least make it safe space.

My heart has been heavy watching folk tearing each other up for no reason other than they can.

No one seems to want to LISTEN.

Everyone is yelling ‘OW’ but nobody seems to want to stop long enough to ask what is hurting.

Folk seems gleeful of witnessing the suffering of others. My heart does NOT understand this.

We are all better than this.

I just stopped by to encourage folk.

If you can’t find common ground, at least make it safe space.

Listen.

Hear.

Empathize.

Care.

Rinse.

Repeat.
