Last night I had the pleasure of hanging out with a friend that I had met during coaching.....the beauty of my business....coming across women to help some, and then gaining beautiful friendships as a result! Win win I would say......and we had such a nice night on the deck, chatting hours away......catching up on our lives......and she and I speak the same language.....she gets me, and I get her......and she understands the places that still hurt me, and I understand the same in her.......because while our paths were not exactly the same, they were similar enough that that recognition lives between us......and isn't that so important.......to find people in our lives that speak our language......doesn't need to be exactly the same, but it feels amazing when it resonates......and I love when that happens.....a place in us that resonates within another human.......and I really needed our visit......I have mentioned the pressure valve feeling full as of late, and finding ways to release the valve is key.....in addition to yesterday finding me connecting with a friend it also found me getting stuff done.......lots of paperwork stuff that I have been bogged down by......and making a plan for this week......filling in all the pieces to get it all squared away....and it felt so good to check those things off of my list......Gabe went to football....and Mads has been having so much fun playing with the neighbor kids lately all day.....like old school neighborhood stuff, and it has been fun to see them all having so much fun.......so it gave me a little space to take care of a few things I needed to......this week holds a lot of things that need to be done and worked out.......and I feel like yesterday was the jump start I needed to move toward that......keeping the overwhelmed feelings at bay, and just getting it done.....one piece at a time.....and isn't that so true about so much......one step at a time not the whole mountain.....and even though I know that truth so deeply......and have learned and relearned it over and over, my human self forgets.....and looks at the mountain and feels overwhelmed when I really only need to start climbing.....one step......one summit.....one spot at a time........and so today I got some more climbing to do today:) and tomorrow Gabe has his senior pictures in the morning.....gulp.......and then I think we will grab a hike.....the woods have been calling to me to quiet some of the noise down.....so I will answer that call:) Just working on using as many tools as I can to navigate the choppy waters I have found myself in, and the cumulative effect is adding up! And I am so grateful and love that! Enjoy the sunshine y'all:)
