M-I-A

That’s what I’ve been these last few days.  But NOT because I didn’t feel like writing.  So much has been going on, I actually could write about tons of things…but as always, can’t put everything out there.  I will say that the last 2 weeks or so have been some of the most progressive and possibly life-altering days of my life.  I mean, the word CHANGE is on everyone’s lips right now (the impending election is all about change!) but real transformations have been made in my world.  Some will be very public, some were more personal.  All were necessary and inevitable if I wanted to grow and get where I’m going.  Change is never really comfortable…after all, the very nature of the word suggests that you leave behind what you’re accustomed to and do something different.  Even if what you know isn’t great, you at least KNOW it.  But as the great Albert Einstein said,

“Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.”

I may be a different kind of chick and maybe even a little weird, but I’m not insane.  Thus the changes!  I started to analyze things in my life that were taking the most energy out of me and leaving me drained-either emotionally, financially, whatever.  Okay, you?  Gone.  This?  Outta here.  Them?  Kick rocks.  And I kid you not, within DAYS of shedding, the light at the end of the tunnel was right in front of me.  Not some far off speck of light like usual, but that ish was RIGHT THERE!  Coincidence?  I don’t think so.  I don’t think coincidence fits into this category at all.  This was pure serendipity…it was simply supposed to happen in this way.

I hesitate to put God in- because so many people misuse or insert God into situations where he clearly is not, or should not be- but I think that my blessings are not necessarily someone else’s blesssings, and vice versa.  Meaning, if I have certain people/energy/things in my life, maybe the blessings are being blocked.  It’s like if I was trying to walk through a door, but in front of me was piles and piles of ceiling-high garbage.  It’d be pretty hard to get to the door.  I certainly wouldn’t make it to the door without getting all dirtied up and stinky.  But if the garbage is cleared away, the path to the door is clear and easy.  I walked through my door less than 48 hours ago, and I cannot WAIT to see the outcome.  And in a few more weeks, I’ll be making an even more drastic change to keep this momentum going.  I was reluctant to shake things up to a certain extent, but now I’m all in.  The old Me is back full swing…the one who isn’t content with letting life happen to her, but makes it happen for her!  Well, I never completely fell into the “let’s life happen to her” category, but I got a little lax, I’ll admit.  Not now, buddy.  Whoo-hoo!

Stay tuned…..trust, it’s gonna be a good show!
