Fierce loyalty......

Loyalty is a wound inside of me.......the lack of it that I have experienced in this life....and realizing that loyalty.....the REAL kind is perhaps one of the rarest things....and it is something I do my best to embody as often as I am able.....I am everybody's secret keeper.....the one they go to when they don't want their business spread around....knowing that their secret is safe with me.....I am the one that shows up as often as I can for my friends and family...supporting their ventures....checking in via text.....or phone call.....to see how things are, especially if they are mountain climbing in their lives.....and I do my best, not always perfectly, by any means.....but I try hard....and I do have the backs of the people I love.....no question.....but as I have written before, loyalty has evaded me often.....I have a handful of people that embody it too....but it has been rare.....and not in love, ever.....a false portrayal of loyalty that never existed.....under the mask somebody was wearing.....somebody pretending to be loyal when that was not the case at all....so I write all of this to say that both my children have it.....and the more I get to know them as they grow the more I see that.....and receiving that level of loyalty from them, makes my heart feel so grateful.......loyalty is the number one attribute I seek....because I think it splinters into the rest of the good stuff....but often times people are busy serving themselves.....their needs coming to the front....and they are incapable of being loyal to anybody......and it is so sad......or they lack healing, and their wounds bleed on to the people around them.....I spent some time at my girl's night, loving the circle we share.....varying ages.....and life experience, but a kinship that binds......and it is lovely to feel that surrounding me too.....so I felt blessed to find myself there......so I guess I write about all of this again to express so deeply.....that as I move along in my life....still young.....still seeking a beautiful partnership in this life......loyalty is my north star in every way.....and loyalty can only be proven....in the ways we show up for people.....and the consistency that needs to be there, and I love the way it feels.....and really as I write this and am thinking about MY people.....I likely have more of it in my life than most, or than I realize, because of the extreme levels of betrayal I have experienced.....but it is there....and I believe that what we put into the world has a way of being returned......especially over time, and as we hit the new year, my plan is to dive into my business and the building and expansion.....realizing now that my full workshops likely won't be able to take place until April......and that is OK....I am building a big foundation underneath......a strong one....taking the expansion seriously, and working on content that will be sustainable....advertising that lays the groundwork.....all of it.....this next weekend I have a free strategy session that I won at that empowerment event to bounce some ideas off of her, and set my course..and that is where my focus is so completely. 2026 has some great gifts in store, of that I am certain! Have a great Monday y'all:)
