Sharing…

Well, since we last spoke about journaling…I figure I might as well introduce you to my new writing style.  My writing style will be more like journal writing versus straight out article writing. 

I have found that sharing with others by “walking it out” is often more powerful.  Lead by example.  That is one of my many mottos. 

So without further ado, we hit the rewind button and pick up where my story began this year…

Journal Entry for 01/01/08  

Happy New Year Lisa!

Right now I am a little bit unsettled.  Ok, scared is more like it.  Scared about what this New Year holds.  Scared because I know that things are gonna change. 

It’s not scared like the keep you stuck, afraid to move forward scared.

It’s more like the scared that’s thrilled out of your mind scared because I want things to change and I am ready.  I am scared because I am smart enough to know that with new choices come new experiences.  And new experiences come only by way of stepping into the unknown and walking it out until it becomes known. 

And, um, I am not too proud to admit that with that comes a bit of fear.  But it is a healthy fear.  It helps me slow down and not rush the process.  Because God knows there are gonna be times that I will go charging forward in unstoppable mode once I get a handle on my fears. 

But even then, I hope fear or wisdom, or better both, jump in my way so I can milk every precious moment for all that it is worth.  Being present.  I am thinking that’s my main goal for the New Year.  Being present for all of it.

I might be scared ~ but I sure as shooting love life ~ all of it! 

Some things that help me get centered when feeling unsettled are:

* Writing/Journaling ~ Check.  Done.

* Giving ~ Check.  Done.  Hooked someone up with a pretty snazzy New Year’s gift if I do say so myself.  Thank God she accepted it.  She’s gonna love this NEW year.

* Get Physical ~ Check.  Going to do that now.  I wanna help my sister clean her house getting her set for the New Year as well.  Plus I gotta work off some of this nervous energy!

Happy New Year Lisa!

Until next time,

Lisa

PS ~ A great book that will help you is my book May I Have This Dance, Little One? God’s Whispers.  It is not what you think.  It is not religious.  I don’t care if you “believe” or “don’t believe”…in fact, I don’t care what you believe.  The only thing that I care about is that you BELIEVE IN YOURSELF!  And this book can help.

My friends ~ May you confront your fears in whatever manner works for you.  May you never settle, and always work on creating the life that you know you are meant to live.
