THAT is not wisdom
that is manipulative marketing
yuck
it makes me angry
it’s not what we want
there are no short cuts
you have to feel the feelings
do the work
take the time
work YOUR plan
(not the one that worked for hundreds of women “overnight”)
aren’t you just tired of feeling like not enough?
waiting for someone else to give you permission to be yourself
to define happiness as it occurs to you?
I was at a friend’s very fancy greenwich house
a bunch of years ago
and the women were sitting on the patio
under this big umbrella
talking about what a loser this one woman’s husband was
(she wasn’t there, of course)
loser, what a loser
can you believe she is with SUCH A LOSER?
I felt shame
I felt shame for her
I felt shame for me
my life, my husband, my house
also didn’t measure up to these “fine” women
we argued in the car on the way home
it wasn’t his fault
it was theirs
and it was mine
for letting them get in my head
no one gets to say
what your life should look like
it’s important to look at who you are listening to
is it a loving friend who has your back?
or is it a faux friend talks about you behind your back?
you deserve better
it’s hard to be surrounded by seemingly perfect lives
when yours is so imperfect
but the only mistake really
is not getting what you came for
and only you get to decide what that is
I am not an overnight success story
I am on MY journey
and I can help you with yours
with love
I would rather put myself out there and say that
and risk turning some people off
than risk not being there
for that woman who misses out
on seeing herself in my words
when they just might be the very thing
to give her a life well lived
not regretted
if you want to talk about how I can help, let’s talk
