Prompt: Core story. What central story is at the core of you, and how do you share it with the world? (Bonus: Consider your reflections from this month. Look through them to discover a thread you may not have noticed until today.)
I just finished my blog post only to lose it...bummer.....now to start all over again and try to remember what I wrote!!!!
Life throws you some curve balls...maybe losing my post was a sign that new beginnings...such as the New Year is really a chance to "start over".
My core story has been to find myself...to allow myself to really see who I am. I just started a book last night titled: The Gift of Imperfection, Let Go of Who You Think You're Supposed to Be and Embrace Who You Are, by Brene' Brown, one of the Reverb10 authors. With this book I am hoping to find some insight and answers on how to do this.
At one point, a few years ago, I thought that I had to go away in order to find myself. I left my husband and five kids and drove to Cape Cod by myself to attend a womens retreat conducted by the best selling author, Joan Anderson(A Year By the Sea). I was there for 7 days, 4 of which were the retreat, I was so in search for that ahh haa moment while there, but I had nada...zero....zip.
Sometimes I think I try to hard to make it happen, sometimes to little...sometimes I think it is probably right in front of me and I am too hyped up to see anything...This year 2011 I am trying something a bit different...besides starting the book above, I have chosen a word for the year to help on my quest to self. I have chosen a word to help my mind and soul realize the real me, to just be comfortable in my body, alive in the moments of my life on a daily basis, and authentic in my words, meanings and gestures.
I wish to release the past mistakes and memories of their hold, relish in my children and the way they so easily articulate lifes moments, revive my zest for life(whatever that zest may be) and replenish my soul with inspiration.
Thank you Reverb10 and authors for allowing me to dig deep and bring out the best in myself.
Happy New Year 2011 to all and may this year bring you to where you want to be.
Much Love and Happiness
