Miss Dew brought along with her the products I won. I am so excited to have the products and I just tried them and they are truly so light and wonderful, the smell is not overwhelming at all. I am super sensitive to smell so I can relate with others who have issues when it comes to powerful scents. The scents are very earthy and natural, very fresh. I have had issues in recent years with my skin being too dry and recently with breakouts and I have tried products but have never found something that has agreed with my skin and helped in either respect. These are natural products which I am even more stoked about as I try to transition my life and my children's away from chemicals and live healthier. I look forward to seeing how my skin feels as well. I am hopeful that I have found a product that can become part of my life.
It was such a wonderful visit. Why people wait to get together is beyond me. We really need to live more and get together. It had been far too long and so over due! I am envious honestly of the life she is living. She is living her passions, she is happy and healthy. A career made from following ones passions...unreal eh? These are things we all want so badly yet are scared as I admitted to her to take that one step in the direction we desire, or we try and and the smallest hint of failure we turtle back to find security. Her direction is benefiting many people but the key person is herself.
As we chatted and I explained my frustration with my nerve damage and arm and how it has become a road block in so many ways and taken from me passions I had, she opened the door to new possibilities and directions based on things I mentioned I enjoy. I had never thought of any of them.
It is so true that if you want something and work towards it, it is attainable. The key role is taking that initial step....and that's my issue, my fears and anxieties. I am a person who finds comfort zones and fears stepping outside of these zones for fear of what could be...when really that what could be could really be positive! We tend to see the negatives and perhaps I think that the what could be is a negative. If we teach our minds that each step moves towards a positive then we train ourselves to experience and possibility. I need to open doors, turn on the light and allow for creative possibilities and finding passion. If the world was this way and everyone was seeking their passions and in turn living through happiness I wouldn't be posting like my last post. Happiness is moving forward...I think the world much like myself has transcended into a place of pause...we do not know how to move forward.
What I am saying is....we need more like my dear friend in the world. We need to create for ourselves opportunity.
Our visit was such an uplifting and rewarding time shared. As my last post mentioned....people come and people go and everyone and everything happens for a reason, to teach, add, build, grow...I think we have reconnected for a reason, a very positive one at that. I look forward to getting together again soon for a date night as we talked about. Including our men and a branch of our happiness.
I needed this uplifting, motivating, inspirational visit. She reminded me very very much of the person I was prior to the accident. Since then I sort of packed life in and stopped living. The saddle may have been stiff but I have been actively trying this past few months and having this blog helps to look back and see that I am moving forward and upward into a better place.
It's time to train the mind that happiness is the only way to exist. Onward, upward...there is no pause, no waiting, delays or stops just forward and like she said, stepping into places we are not comfortable with is challenging and rewarding and it really helps us...time to continue challenging. Maybe I will attempt a yoga class by myself instead of relying on having my daughter to go with. Baby steps.
It's been a beautiful week, so much to be thankful for, grateful for and so much to look forward to. I have seen small but positive goals reached this week that shows me anything is attainable. Time and patience young grasshopper. I am rebuilding me, gaining back strength and working on confidence...dragging toes on occasion but I think the end result will be a positive person that I can look into the mirror at and say, "I am Happy." I may never be perfect but what really is the true meaning of perfect? If I can look at myself and say I am happy then I think that right there is the true meaning of perfection.
Today My Name is Inspired.
