First off thanks for stopping in and having a peek at my Page.
Well here it goes....
Some of you checking this out you may already know my story? For the rest of you new comers here it is in a Nut Shell.
I never had the courage or confidence to say or do things on my own. I was told from a very young age that because I had Blonde hair and Blue eyes that I was “STUPID”! That I would never be able to be anything or go anywhere in life. It was said so often and by so many people that I started to believe it! I lacked the energy and ability to try...”because what was the point”. I was Never going to amount to anything anyway!
It was so bad that I thought to myself what is the reason to continue on like this? Why was I here? What was is that I was meant to do with my life? So bad that I let people I thought were my friends walk all over me. Let them abuse my trust, my friendship, also borrow money from me that I never saw again! This led me to attempt to end it all. I really was in a bad place and very lost!
It took a lot to get out of that deep hole I had gone down! It took Family and genuine friendships and support and trust to bring me back. I moved to a different city as a start. Where I met my future husband. To which I’ve been married to for 34 years this October. He has been my rock. My greatest supporter and Encourager ! Pushing me to get out there and go for what ever I dreamt of! He Encouraged me to return to school and become a Nurse after having our four children! To step out of the comfort zone in which we continue to exist!
Setting attainable goals and getting out of that comfort zone is easier said that done. Most of us don’t do well with change, because its hard. It’s hard to start a new job, because you won’t know anything or anyone. Yes it’s hard for those same reasons to move someplace else or take a trip by yourself or reach for the stars! Why because deep down you don’t believe that you are worth it!
Well I’m here now because “I am Worth it”! and so are YOU! I finally said enough was enough and let’s figure this out and make some plans! I decided that tomorrow was going to be different. Better than yesterday.
My eye’s were really opened up when I went through Cancer! In a way it was the best thing that ever happened to me. It has shown me that I can’t fix everything or everyone. That you just have to let some things go. Don’t sweat and worry about things that are completely out of your control. That I need to listen to what my body is saying and get back on track of taking care of ME! That my body cannot operate on crap food. To bring everything back to basics ans start fresh. To learn to fuel my body. Not just eat anything in sight. To not eat to soothe pain because something or someone said or did something to me! To Respect Myself! I needed to be in the proper head space before I could achieve this for myself and before I could help others.
Learning to talk about how you are feeling is a start. Don’t sweep things under the rug! Reach out to someone. Even if it’s to empty those thoughts out of your head while you are talking to the dog. Exercise can help to release those good endorphins that the brain needs. So go for that walk, Do some Yoga, or better yet get a workout buddy and get that workout in together! Then start a habit of doing it everyday. Your body will thank you... You’ll be a better person, a better spouse, a better coworker ... A better what ever you want to be!!
So if you need to talk or share with someone ... I’m here and I’ll listen. I can help you get to where you want to be! We’re all in this together.
As Micheal Connally the Writer says “Everyone counts or No one Counts”!
