These are all top of my list, because – Sharing! “I will Trust and will not be afraid.” Speaks to my desire to be a leader and my fear of leading. “Focus on growth rather than perfection.” Speaks to my need to be BRAVE. To not let my need to be “Perfect” in something before I share it, get in my way.

I’ve been thinking a lot about what I want. AND what I’m afraid to ask for. Here is my list:
What are the things your HEART yearns for, but you’re afraid to put into words?
Food for thought…

2019 was an amazing year for me. There were huge highs: finally getting a full-time job, the courage to start EVE, the courage to share my thoughts and stories in hopes of encouraging and inspiring other women to do the same.
The lows have been there too: body pain I have difficulty dealing with and overcoming, finding consistency in my self care that I can do even when my body and mind rebels, accepting that I need help from others… and they will not be doing tasks on my time-line or to my level, and learning to accept the help and the effort to which those who are able are comfortable and capable of giving.
On the whole, I count 2019 a year of victories.
How do you rate 2019?
What are you looking forward to in 2020?
For me, my Dream and my Goal, is to see EVE pull together as a supportive online community where we can share: where we are, where we want to be, allow others to encourage and share in our victories, commiserate and support in our defeats, and carry us through to our next inspired action.
Join me in my Dream!

A video I did last year.
Rings true today as I am struggling with back pain and forced to do almost nothing.
Working on staying positive and looking on the bright side: I’m better today than yesterday, and I work from home where I can do a lot via cell phone and laptop.
Be Brave, Friends! Don’t Quit!!

…and even if we disagree, AGREE to disagree.
…and when we don’t understand, FIND UNDERSTANDING for differing opinions, viewpoints, and life choices.

RUN YOUR OWN RACE! I absolutely love this analogy brought to us by Aaron Spelling at Selfimprovement1.ga
Perfect logic to STOP THE COMPARISON: to others, to mythological ideals, to the nonsense the media spits at us… all of it.

I’m currently on Day 3 of a migraine headache making me want to rip my head off.
How am I typing right now? Because I’m in the low throb between mind-numbing pain.
Everyone has great suggestions for headaches: lavender tea, acupuncture, neck exercises, icing neck/head, migraine meds, Excedrin, sinus treatment, caffeine… the list goes on.
I’ve tried 90% of these and I still suffer.
My answer: sleep it off. It sounds lazy, but honestly no one solution has worked consistently except REST.
Which brings me to another question… when your body malfunctions, how often do YOU find rest is the answer?
I’m not talking about real disease or illness where medical intervention is necessary.
I’m talking about headaches, pain, colds, flu, body aches and pain… your body’s way of SCREAMING at you to take a break and instead medicate to keep going. Until which point your body makes you STOP.
Why is it so hard to accept that we all, each and every human, need rest and reflection?
It seem that today rest and reflection have become “dirty” words. Action and pursuit are the only answers for success.
This year has been one of great change and goal achievement for me. It has also been a year of Listening: to my inner voice and my body.
As 2019 comes to a close and we are on the brink of a new decade, I challenge readers to reflect and evaluate where you are in personal goal achievement and personal health.
Make 2020 about BALANCE, self-care, listening to your inner voice MORE than the world’s noise on who you need to be.
Love to all.
