I’ve been told, in my spiritual walk, several times to do this blog. Write the blog Danielle. Do the dang thing already. Years and years hearing that. I’ve dabbled, as you can see from previous posts. But haven’t ever been consistent about it.
Here’s my attempt.
It’s on my heart to wrap it up and send it out.
Just like I did with some Christmas presents that could have declutterred my room space weeks ago had I just laid it out and cut the paper and taped it up! I did it and felt super ultra motivated so I did a couple more.
I asked for a lil extra help yesterday and did a thing I wanted to do. And things that made my heart happy to share with others. And I can’t stop sharing more!!
It sets me on fire.
So here I am joyously getting off my butt, actually sitting to write this, outside where I read in the sunlight every morning. Which now my kid has started waking up and reading and going to bed reading and has become happier and more helpful to all of us because of it. Library and cousins bookshelves and brothers bookshelves have changed this.
Bring me all the books.
In fact I got them, my boys, both books from the thrift store yesterday.
I’m so grateful family lives close and is helping when I ask. It’s making me happy.
All because I read this one book, Girl, stop apologizing, I’m 74% done with it rn and writing this. She is just speaking to everything I needed to hear. I picked this book up 3 years ago and didn’t get into it. As I’ve done with many books this year and finished a lot that I’d been picking up for YEARS and not completing. But for whatever reason this season of my life I got it. I’m picking up what is being laid out.
I started therapy for solely myself this year due to a health issue that has been rocking my world this way and that.
I’m serving myself so that I can better serve others. I didn’t take the weekend away a couple weeks ago because fear creeped in and ya know things still worked out but I still lost my temper with my kids. Between steroids, hormones, disease consciousness and stuff I let it. But apologized and repaired things as best as possible. Learn to move on but learn from it and get better next time.
