Has it occurred to anyone that the reason we are all so damn tired is not because we are so BUSY with our lives, but because we are so BORED with our lives?
We make decisions that keep us safe, secure and loved. We don’t like upsetting the balance. We don’t like upsetting other people. But in the meantime, we are swallowing back that rising feeling that life should be just a little bit better.
I’ve been guilty of this. Trying to do the RIGHT thing – whatever that is? Right for who? It certainly wasn’t right for ME!
Over the last six months, I’ve been doing one crazy thing after another. Imagining that I could do things I’ve never done before. Imagining that there was something better out there for me. Imagining that I have the strength and confidence to bring wonderful things into my life. Imagining that I am the author of my own story.
Some people have expressed disapproval of what I’m doing. They have been surprised, shocked and angry. I mean, seriously, how dare I take charge of my own life? How dare I hope for something more than just mediocre? How dare I own my power as a woman?
When a woman takes back her power, interesting things happen. Firstly, some men have found it incredibly alluring, perhaps hoping to own or tame such a creature (ho-hum!). Secondly, other guys have come out of the woodwork and have encouraged me in my endeavours (thank the Lord for REAL men!). And thirdly, I have seen other women around me considering the possibility that they too can be or have more (you go girl!).
Where has this got me? I can certainly assure you that this is the happiest I’ve ever been.
Where is this taking me? Let’s face it, anything could happen, but I still have a few crazy things up my sleeve. In fact, my “crazy-confidence” is increasing, so over the next few months, I have two of the biggest, boldest moves of my life coming up.
I have learned that sometimes you have to completely dismantle your life to make room for the next big thing to happen.
Bring it on! All of it! Go crazy!

Thanks Allan. You nailed it! I’ve actually been intentionally taking things on that stretch me in this regard. It’s too easy to stick with things that are comfortable. Thanks so much for reading and commenting 😊

Great post, great attitude Wendy! I think your right, sometime we have to dismantle our entire lives to make room for something spectacular. I think I might try it, I’ve been feeling somewhat stagnant, like I’m stuck in emotional quicksand or something. It has been, to say the least a trying year.

Sorry you’ve had a rough year 😔 I’d love to hear how you get on shaking things up a bit. I used to feel like I was walking through mud all the time, and you’ve just made me realise that I don’t feel that way anymore 😊 Good luck. Stay strong, make strong moves, and let the universe take care of the details. Most importantly, have fun!!

One great piece of writing love! Taking control of ones own life isn’t something we or you should be doing, it’s something you should have always done. You are NOW the Author of your life and it’s story to be told.

Thanks for your support and encouragement, honey 😀 Funny, I have a friend that I’ve been confiding in recently, and she keep saying “I hope you are writing this all down! You can’t make this sh*t up!!” LOL 😂 I can’t wait for the next chapter of my life – it’s unfolding right now… ❤
