I had such a good day yesterday and such fun last night......some of my other friends had sick kiddos and stuff crop up last minute, so only one of my friends and I ended up going out.....music was decent......but we had so much fun.....laughing most of the night.....like hysterically........laughter is such medicine right??:) And hanging out and having fun with a new friend, one that has been placed in my path due to my new direction in life, and talking to another friend for awhile yesterday about the challenges in my journey sometimes.....got me thinking about my "why" again.......I talked to her about knowing that people that are close to me don't always fully understand or support it all.....and I feel that I am there to support the people in my life.....cheering on their endeavors......seeking to understand their truth, and it is hurtful that that isn't always reciprocated.....and it is and continues to be something I have to learn to accept.....and I have certainly written about this before......but I have some new readers......and want to put it out there again......my blog......my posts......and my videos now, are there to reach at least one person.....one person wondering if they are alone.......one person that is stuck.......or sad......or feeling hopeless......and I continue to get countless messages......or confirmation in my women's series group by things the women have said to me......or conversations had in person.....that confirm that my mission is being fulfilled........the girl that did my tattoo confirmed more of my path yesterday.....she was young, only 24......and she was asking me about myself, and I was sharing about my journey some and how I ended up getting a tattoo, yesterday.......and her mom is a single mom......her dad had had an affair and left.....and her mom was struggling......and she took my info.......but more importantly she told me that her mom has tried to be good about not speaking ill of her dad to her, and make peace with the other woman.....and how important that it is for her......and that my doing that for my children is one of the greatest things I can do for them in this story......and some of the things I have to endure, or swallow......or lay down, are not easy things to do.......but they are worthwhile.......so I say this to say that I don't do everything perfect, or have everything all figured out, by any means.....I still suffer and fall down......but I am here.......trying every day.....and willing to help anyone I can do the same.....and the price I have paid for my authenticity....and my truth, has been hurtful and challenging sometimes......but worth it.....I am grateful that most people get it......and more importantly the right people do.........I am committed, and nothing will stop me from alchemizing my pain and suffering into purpose, and salvation for other hurting women.....what happened to me, happens EVERY single day to so many women......and if one person thinks they can do something because I did.....or one word I type or say makes a difference, then it is worth it......I am honored and truly humbled to be in a position, and have the platform I have been given to do just that.......one woman, one life, one step at a time, every single day:)
