Wednesday’s wisdom

Happy Wednesday evening my dear friends;

How is everyone doing on this windy Wednesday? Good I hope. While I do enjoy the winds, I know they are causing some pretty horrific circumstances for people here in California. The devastation that continues to happen due to the fires is beyond belief. Sending love, hugs and prayers to everyone who is either affected by the fires or who has family and friends affected. I can’t even imagine what you folks are having to deal with.

When I think of the ruin caused by and or enhanced by the winds, I’m speechless. This really is a hard and difficult time for many and yet, it helps me put into perspective just how minimal my problems are.

I have a roof over my head. Food in my belly. Clothes. Heat. Electricity. I have a wonderful man in my life. Amazing kiddos. Incredible friends and family. No, I’m by no means bragging. I’m just speaking out loud that I have so much to be thankful for and the little things that seem so humongous in my life right now are in fact, trivial.

With the news I received on Monday about something that has been long going in my life, it really has taken me back. I’ve spent a lot of time with God in prayer because I thought things would be different. Tuesday I received another call from someone who is close to the thing I’ve been dealing with and he assured me that the phone call the day before was due to that person having a lack of perspective regarding the matter. I felt better, but I’m still re-examining everything and this has put me into a funk again.

I’m not unhappy. I’m not sad. I’m okay over all, but I have allowed things to weigh on me, either consciously or subconsciously. John says he feels somethings wrong, but honestly, nothing’s wrong. I’ve just come to the realization that sometimes you need to slow down and accept things the way they are.

I’m not giving up. I’m just choosing peace in order to move forward.

John had me listen to the book, “The Secret to Letting Go,” by Guy Finley and it’s helped me to stop thinking outside of the now.

I’ve come to another realization. Life has happened while I was planning something else. I have dreams of becoming a published author and I know one day I will be published. I had dreams of growing my blogs this very moment, however, it’s not reasonable. I’ve been beyond excited to start the Podcast with my friend. I’ve also been cleaning my loft and I’ve been reminded of how much I love my crafting and sewing, along with quilting.

With this being said my Wednesday wisdom is this. I will continue to write my blogs. I will continue to work on the Podcast with my friend when she’s available, other than that, I won’t be pursing any of my dreams or passions for another year. Like I said, life happened when I was busy dreaming and trying to follow my passions. Right now, there’s not enough hours in the day to get it all done and mentally, I’m overwhelmed and can’t implement the things I’ve learned about growing my business and that’s okay.

Over the course of this year I will breathe. I will enjoy finishing up the multitudes of projects I’ve started and I will journal and make smart business plans in order to launch in 2026 where I will become successful. For now, I’ll enjoy every moment I get with all you wonderful and amazing folks. This is a community I hold dear and near to my heart and I never want to lose my connection with you.

I think putting things on hold as far as following what I think is my destiny is indeed His plan for me right now. Should that change, I know He’ll find a way to keep me on the path He sees fit for me.

“I can’t change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination.”-Steve Jobs.

It’s okay to change course as long as we don’t give up on those dreams. It’s okay to put something on hold and come back to it later. It’s part of life. Life happens and sometimes His purpose for us is to help others. Sometimes we get ahead of God’s schedule and He defiantly has a way of helping us to see the need to slow down and cool our jets.

“Never give up on what you really want to do. The person with big dreams is more powerful than the one with all the facts.”-H. Jackson Brown, Jr.

I won’t be giving up and I’m sure that when I get things back on track, I’ll be more knowledgeable and equipped to not only open, but run the business I want. I know my business idea is going to be something magical and amazing and I know God is telling me to take it slow and really tune into what I need to do in order to make it a success.

“I will breathe. I will think of solutions. I will not let my worry control me. I will not let my stress level break me. I will simply breathe and it will be okay because I don’t quit.”-Shayne McClendon.

Some of the most successful people dive in head first and they become accomplished. Then there are those of us who have huge dreams and need a better game plan to implement those desires and make all our dreams come true. It’s just the way some brains work. It’s the way my brain works. Taking on too much I accomplish nothing. Chipping away at things, I get way more done.

“Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world.”- Harriet Tubman.

I have great dreams and I have the strength to purse those dreams and now, I must practice the patience to finish up my commitments then my passion to reach for the stars and change the world will be within reach.

Well guys, thank you for stopping by and reading. I appreciate you all so very much. You inspire me to keep writing and with you rooting for me, I know I’ll be unstoppable with the rest of God’s plan for me.

Until next time, don’t forget, Love Life++ Hugs.
