100 Happy Days Recap: Days 1-5
When I wrote my last post, it was hard to push "publish" as it meant putting my soul on the inter-webs for all to see. It was scary, and honest, and completely vulnerable. And in the end, it invited LOVE into my experience.
I didn't write the "I am ENOUGH" post to invite pity or a plethora of message to tell me I am loved and valued and worth it. I DO know this in my heart of hearts. I wrote it to show that there are people feeling JUST LIKE YOU! I wanted you to know you aren't alone....and that you do have value, even when you think you don't. And I believe that what happened.
I had so many women (and men) reach out to me, not to soley tell me that I was loved and valued, but to thank me for sharing my feelings and story because it helped them. And my heart exploded with love!!! I got to use my vulnerability to open other people up to loving themselves, and to sharing that love with me!
This is why I write. I am able to share my shortcomings, and in turn, help other people see it's normal...and there is no judgement. And it makes my heart so happy to do that!
My week of happy has been great. I feel a little shallow in my sharing, but I think it's ok for now. I mean, of course I'm happy for my children and husband. They are my greatest joys and the main reason I am fighting as hard as I am for what I want and to be happy! But, I think as the project continues, I will start to see MORE about myself, and my life, and who I am impacting. That is what I want to hear about!
I am so grateful for the people who are reading this. If you ever get the chance, or feel like you want to be vulnerable too, please feel free to share your story in the comments. I would love to get to know the people reading this, to support you in your journey, and to help create safe, non-judgemental space for people to be real.
My blog and programs have always been designed
for moms - but everyone needs a space to feel vulnerable. This can be that space for you...even if you aren't a mom! This is for everyone. And I hope to meet you all (online or in person) soon to share these stories!
This past week has been eye opening and amazing....and it's because of you, reading this post right now, that I feel this way! THANK YOU! You make writing so much easier!
