MINDFUL

I am sitting next to my daughter attempting to do work. Any work. Paying bills, reading senseless entertainment articles, organizing computer projects for my mother or friends.  Anything that will help distract me from being a mom.

 

Now, before I get all the, "you chose this." Yes, yes I did. And, I absolutely LOVE it. There are people who love their job that sometimes don’t want to go to work. I have days like that.

 

I am sure Tiger Woods wakes up some mornings and doesn’t want to play golf. I am also pretty positive Kim Kardashian wakes up at times and doesn’t want to sit in a four hour hair and makeup session just to take pictures. Well, pretty sure. I think I would love the opportunity to do that once. What a gift that could be if everyone got to do that once!

 

So, here I sit, procrastinating something I have been excited about for months. Not parenting, not being a dutiful wife, or developing training plans for a part-time job I really adore. No, I am procrastinating writing. I have a lot to share. I feel the need to share so people know that they aren’t swimming in this sea of life alone.

 

For me, life at this time is stressful, but amazing considering times past for me. Looking back through the struggles and triumphs, I now know how I was never alone. I want you to know that if you have stumbled across my page. You are not alone. There are people with you in body and in spirit. You are an amazing, tremendous being. No matter what mistakes you have made or what someone has done or is doing to you.

 

Welcome to today; the day where I hope we can connect to give you some peace, hope, and unconditional love.

 

I am writing a blog in the moment: about my relationship to self, my husband, my children, my family and even my work.  I work on being mindfully present in everything I do.  I have my moments. I want to share triumphs and ‘failures.’ Failures is in quotes because I believe failures is a redirection now.  Important redirections to help us identify inconsistencies and ping pong us back to our right livelihood, right living, right life.  I am always open to questions and will offer advice if asked. I would like to say at any moment out there in the world, you are not alone in your questions and feelings. So, please if you don’t want to be identified, we can keep names to monikers/initials/anything anonymous in kindness.

 

I reserve the right to be free with my grammar on this blog. I reserve the right to make up words that fit new ideas, challenges, and positive experiences. My goal is to share, to heal, to offer perspective, to offer hope, and to truly love you. Unconditionally. I would like to send people peacefully on their way to growth and awareness. During my life around the sun numerous times, I have been in counseling, therapy, and soul searching. I have been a devout catholic, and now, I am a spiritual being. I have been married and divorced and now married again. I have a lot of education in so many areas, and I am stunted in others. My mind is open. My heart is growing.

 

My eyes have been witnessing hurt and joy at increasing rates. I would like to say OUT LOUD: One blog at a time, let’s bring EVERYONE together: to heal, to learn, to grow, to truly detach from drama so we can offer a brilliant sense of compassion and aid to everyone around us.
