I have a really interesting day ahead......I am fighting off a little something amid it all....but I have the upper hand, and I don't think it is anything .....think it is allergy season stuff nudging at me......I am drinking my magical tea as I type this, along with my mug of coffee;-) So this morning my friend is hosting a business meeting at my place for some women, some local business owner women! Networking.....and meeting up....and it is exciting for me! My friend coordinated it all, and I just happily offered my place.....it is one of my favorite things.......Some of the women I have met before, and some I have not.....I was asked to speak along with another mama to share our stories....and I just look forward to seeing what comes as a result of it all! I believe very deeply you need to surround yourself with the people that are doing the things you are....and the women that are like minded ones......so maybe this will become a trend.....a regular meet up, or sporadic....or it will grow......who knows, but I am here for it, and it very much feels like a beginning!
And then after that I have a date to hike with a guy that I have been texting on an off for a long time....and he has been very patient in my process of getting ready to get out there some.....and it is a battle within me always now in my new life.....to push myself to get out there......vs. staying comfortable and protected in my own space......I do love my own space....and being single feels like freedom after all I have been through......but there is also a clear awareness within me that it isn't healthy to shy away from it all so intentionally.....so today is about growth....in many different ways....and saying YES to things.....long ago I wrote about more yes less no.....and it is what I keep in mind along the way....where there is resistance there is work to be done....and so when I feel it.....or sense it......I try and listen to what it wants to share with me.....my kids are with their dad this weekend....and I am hoping they are having a good time....Mads told me to have a good weekend mom:) They are my heart indeed......and tomorrow my plan is to do nothing......I may catch church in the morning if I am feeling better and then nothing.......... except to hang in my bedroom, and work on my writing project.....the first sentence has come to me to begin the chapter, and I am hopeful that as I type it the rest will follow.....the first sentence is everything for this project, it has to draw others in......I tell that to my 4th graders when they write all of the time......so I am hopeful my sentence is compelling enough! I was laughing the other day to myself about how challenging it will be for me to abide the rules of punctuation and formal writing lol:) I have been so used to my stream of consciousness format for my blog.....it takes a little effort to bring myself back! It is like that with my own book.....so I look forward to a quiet day tomorrow, and working on it all....and gearing up for the eclipse on Monday.....it has been strange energy the last few days for sure...... I am hoping it is all OK.....and that everybody is safe out there! Enjoy the weekend:)
