Deep Sigh. I Can Do This.
I will not blow off my eyelashes or eyebrows. Just hold down that starter button and it will light up.
I will never forget how fearful I was of making a BBQ. That was his job and after witnessing him nearly explode the entire house one day well this was a big fear. Capital F kind of fear. And guess what? I did it. Never did I think that lighting up a BBQ would be on my top 5 list of lifetime accomplishments. I still feel that way!
My meaning of the word is and was and will always be closely tied to my age, my mindset, my values at this given point in my life. For instance success for me:
at age 5 was learning how to tie my own shoelaces
at age 10 was being an age that had 2 numbers in it and having a party with friends at McDonald’s
at 16 it was getting my license, after two attempts
To this day, after 53 years of life, I still make pinky promises. Yes, I’m talking about the ones you used to make in elementary school. While I may only make these with my son, my friends, my family I am fond of them. They symbolize a promise that cannot be broken. Are there any other kinds of promises? (Politicians aside).
I like to imagine a world where people are fueled by kindness and service.
Where judgment evaporates and understanding stands tall.
Respect for all different beliefs, needs and ways of being surrounds us all.
Where we are all trying to help one another and are generous with our time and resources.
Egos are left to the sideline and we fall into worldwide pronoia.
There is so much uncertainty and I believe in times of uncertainty we have to make choices. You can gravitate to the non-stop news which while informative more than an hour or so a day will likely only increase your fear, paranoia etc. You can sit on the couch and spend hours watching movies, shows, etc. and fall into sloth-mode. I like to say everything in moderation is fine but it’s best to focus on the opportunities and love you see around you.
I’m sitting on a rooftop in Quintana Roo, Mexico overlooking mangrove forests, the blue turquoise Caribbean Sea close to where it meets the Gulf of Mexico, sipping on a latte and excited for the ceviche lunch we’ll have soon. I think I could retire here. Actually not sure about the retiring part, I love what I do too much but I could definitely winter here forever.
When I think of the words “Lights, Camera, Action”, I think of the world of film and also about the story of my life. My film. I also think about being productive. I think, hey, I’m 53 now. The film is rolling, so what do I want to happen next in this story of mine?
Have you been questioning whether or not to change your business name or your brand? It’s a big decision and we understand that first hand. We’ve been deliberating on this one for 10 years + since the day I launched Motherhood Incorporated Canada December of 2008. I always wondered about our name. Finally, OMG is really all I can say, it’s done
It’s a Saturday. A Saturday in August at the cottage. And guess what? It’s raining! You know you work too hard and play too hard if your first thought is “Yay forced lazy day!” It’s a guilt-free day. You grab that first delicious coffee of the day and finish your book.
