Crossing the Line but Closer to Fine
I just reread my blog from yesterday.
Oh my! It started out so well…my India Arie Inspiration-Filled Day.
Apparently there is a fine line between a sunshine-loving, universe hugging, beautiful flower and a crazy ass bitch. I crossed the line around noon.
The whole mission of this blog is to share positive energy and motivate women to be empowered by their best selves, to live in light and love. Inspiration through Freedomseeking, Dreampushing, and Truthtelling.
Today I hope to inspire you with some Truthtelling:
It can be incredibly, painfully, devastatingly, overwhelmingly, impossibly difficult to live in light all the time. Like The Indigo Girls say in my favorite song ever (Closer to Fine) ~ “darkness has a hunger that’s unsatiable and lightness has a call that’s hard to hear.” Well, yesterday the darkness swallowed my lightness whole and then shit it out.Of course I can’t tell you the whole truth and nothing but the truth because I have to protect the privacy of my life. Oh and also you have to wait for the book version (coming soon in all its juicy scandalous glory.)
Regardless, I send my daughters off to school each day with these words: ”Have a good day. Make good choices. Let your light shine through.” Picture my singsongy voice and two middle school girls rolling their eyes of course.
So here I am once again…..beginning this day….this NEW day…..by trying to follow my own advice. I’m laundering yesterday’s shit-covered darkness and soaking my soul in light and shiny hopefulness.
Of course, it does help immensely that I’m heading to Lake Erie to create some “Soulshine” with a sista who will remind me that it’s only life after all and that every new day will take me Closer to Fine.
As I try
On Andrea, what a great line….Apparently there is a fine line between sunshine-loving, universe-hugging, beautiful flower and crazy ass bitch. That just made me laugh! Even us sparkly people have our moments at the edge of the abyss. We just don’t like to advertise it. And as long as you come back, it’s okay. Thanks for sharing. Enjoy your soulshiney day!
I hope you have a great day with your “sista” today. Even when you are venting you make me laugh. I to trying to be the sunshine for everyone has had many of dark clouds hanging over me lately. It’s not always so easy to smile and find the silver linings like everyone is always use to, when you have to wake up and convince your self to get out of bed. However with each day we get stronger, from our own strength and love for ourselves as well as the wonderful people we surround ourselves with. She’s right, it is just life after all and everyday is the opportunity for great new beginnings. Cheers to a great new day!! We can do anything and be beautiful while we do it. That’s what makes a woman just so great. Put on something that makes you feel and look awesome. Grab today by the balls, and worry about tomorrow when it gets here.
As always girl I thank you for helping me jump start my day…….xoxox
CAN”T WAIT FOR THE BOOK, lots of laughs and tears that I will look very forward to.
You are beautiful…………..:)
Ciao for now Bella
this Andrea is the one I love … just a bit gritty and so damm honest … Jesus Freaks cuss sometimes too
Breaking free and starting over does not always have pretty words attached-main thing is to DO THE WORK AND STAY ENGAGED-well done!
Absolutely hysterical – shoot we all feel that way sometimes you just had the guts to say it! Made me laugh!
