Yes. My silence has been golden to a select few. Sorry to my followers that have been worried that I had succumbed to the mighty and given up my voice. LET ME ASSURE YOU, I am still kicking and screaming!
So it’s been a few months since my last post. I’m still heavily involved as a volunteer and have suffered a bit of an ego blow in one particular role. I entered into a role 2 years ago and told myself I would get out of my shell and open my heart and mind to others. As a leader, it’s important to make sure that those that support you bring valuable tools to the cause. I know I can’t do it all alone so, I reached out and accepted an individual into my life with all I had – they just didn’t give the same. It hurts me because I didn’t want to be right about this situation. My gut told me early on that this person was NOT compatible with me; yet, I opened my heart anyway. That is a hard pill to swallow. It took me nearly 42 years to accept that I was not ever going to accept and move away from family that just seemed to do nothing but try to bring me down. Maybe I’m a slow learner? Maybe I just have faith in change? In the end, I seem to have more trouble “moving on”.
Now 2015 is here. I’ve left behind some GREAT memories and moved on to making new memories. I’m still kicking and screaming about things many call “trivial” – but hey, someone has to be the outspoken one.
