My comfort zone that is;-) I have some new opportunities that have come knocking, and I need to filter through them and see what is for me.....and in the meantime I have to do all I can to walk my path authentically, and do so in a way that makes sense, and speaks to myself and my walk.....I decided to reach out to participate in the Milford Magazine monthly family gig:) I get it every month myself and it spoke to me to do.....another way to get my message, and my business out there, and move myself forward......and it was a lovely experience. We picked up our copies yesterday and it will be out in June:) I felt like the article spoke to who we are as our little family, and my business.....and it was fun to do.....and all these moves I continually make, are a result of abandoning my comfort zone after my marriage fell apart.....doing what I needed to do to heal and grow and walk my path, no matter what.....even if it has made me uncomfortable.....which it has many times.....but not so much lately.....I have become very comfortable abandoning my comfort zone these days......and I have written about dealing with some naysayers, and haters along the way......not too many, but definitely folks judging my path....and that is fine with me now....their judgement is about them, not me.....and at the end of the day you have to be able to lay your head down on the pillow, and be at peace with the things you do....and I do my very best to put good stuff into the world whenever I am able.....and come from a place of trying to help people, no matter what their circumstance...and when you become authentically YOU, it absolutely provokes people who are not......in big ways....and I think maybe that was the most surprising thing I have faced......feeling people's uglier parts spill onto me when I was in my own lane.....doing my own thing.....it seems so crazy to me....but yet......I can now say it exists......I have said it over and over, I am not perfect in any way....flawed and me....but my intentions are good for folks.....even the ones that have wronged me deeply....I just don't choose to have that kind of energy in my life anymore or be around it......life is too short for fake folks, and mean spirited stuff.......but my comfort zone these days is so far back there now, I cannot even see it any longer in the rearview.....and I suppose the magazine may evoke some people talking about me or throwing shade my way.....behind my back or via texting their friends lol:) And you know what none of it has to do with me either.....I was true to myself and making a decision that I felt was best for myself and my future, and doing something that I felt would help me better care for my kids......hustling on repeat to make it all work on my own, so if that garners backstabby stuff than so be it.....the thing is it doesn't really matter what we do or don't......everything is filtered through a person's own perceptions.....and how they see the world.....and themselves, and their own insecurities or lens or so many other things.....so the best rule of thumb I have found is to be true to yourself at all costs.....fiercely.....and the right people always understand, and the others fall away or make their true thoughts known....and in my opinion we are better off for knowing the truth of a person's heart than living in a shadow....so I am excited to have the magazine come out, and see where it leads....and it felt very clear that I should do it....so for me that is all I need to know these days.....the clear yes and the clear no:) Happy Thursday:)
