Last Friday post.🌸

 

F r i d a y 

Plants need to be planted.

Seeds need to be sown.

I need to sift through all of my clothing 

and sell/ donate most.

I want to start daily hikes through the woods by the river

but tics.....🕷️

Time to begin ...ya know?

I feel like it is long past due.

This week my allergies have kicked my butt.

Headaches, eye pain, coughing....

has me showering to relieve the pollen load ( which helps )

and staying inside during windy days.

At the same time I am just itching for change.

Anyone feel the same?

Anyone want to begin Monday with me?

Last time I started anything was my 40/40 challenge.

( 40 days of 1 mile walk while reading through John)

I may start an online group for a walking challenge.

I also want to be transparent...more transparent.

Like- I can either just stop blogging or become

like every other blogger and become fake  OR

just be me.

Private me.

Out there all thoughts and feelings...

It is a decision that I am mulling over.

The world is so so fake right now.

It needs real & truth and a refreshing change

from the past narrative out there which I feel is boring

and uninspiring and full of discord.

Gosh,

I have to say that I love blogging.

Stopping would just make me feel so blocked and sad.

But why would I ever think of stopping?

People.

It is the trend of  people harassing  people who show up

every day by those who do not have emotional maturity

that makes me want to rethink blogging.

Here I am at another unasked for crossroad where God put me.

He likes putting me in this situation.

;)

What do you think?

What would you do?

I value you all, my loyal readers.

What if I wrote something you did not agree with?

Would you leave?

Should I care?

{ I care. I do- that is my soft spot}

Let me know because this season of change is

intense and wonderful but also a bit unnerving.

A huge part of me is wanting to start creating groups of people

to celebrate life, seasons, seasons of life.

I want to hear people out , listen to them.

I also want to create again.

I want to talk freely of my relationship with God, my 

relationships with people in my past, past career experiences ,

choices I made, decisions I mull over....

I want to be more , well, me.

Guys.... I will be 63 on the 18th.

I feel 24 inside.

( my joints can feel a good 85 sometimes...lol!

But I blame decades of running and thousands of hours working on my feet.)

Also, 2 back surgeries and 4 front surgeries, it is amazing I am as spry as I am.

All of those over 25 years ago.

I feel better than I did back then.

So why not?

Why not go for it and try to launch a blog that has me all over it.

Why not start a challenge page for people to connect with one another?

A podcast?

A monthly luncheon?

Why not say yes to creating a brand or a collection?

Yes to old opportunities forgotten until now.

What not begin the rest of my life?

From Stone Hollow.

I am interested in your ideas.

Truly.

For now, I will wish you all a Happy Mothers Day.

I will be spending it with overnight visitors and a brunch with the family.

I pray that you all have a splendid weekend.

God is so good.

I am so blessed.

xoxo
