Unapologetically Optimistic
Anyone who knows me is well aware that I am without a doubt a “glass half full” kind of person and I'm constantly seeking the life lesson, universal shift, and opportunity to grow & learn in the challenges life throws at us. Anyone who has stuck around long enough also knows that this is my consistent nature and just exactly who I am.
Making the choice to shine a little brighter on this world everyday
doesn’t mean that I don’t experience struggles, anxieties, worries, fear, and
anger. It doesn’t mean that I have not experienced trauma, grief, pain, fear and loneliness at times
either. Friends, my family tree is
straight out of the Charlie Brown Christmas show(in the most loving way) and my
upbringing included many shit shows just like everyone else’s(sorry mom). Choosing
to have a babe my junior year in college and all the grace that led up to that
decision was everything but rainbows and unicorns. Navigating the woahs of co-parenting a human-freaking-being
every damn day for the last 4,015 days of my existence has been a mix of every
single emotion listed above.
In a week I will be celebrating my birthday and another beautiful 365 days around the sun. a promise to myself this year is
not to stoop down to anyone’s level who isn’t
ready to be on mine. I will always carry a glass half full, I will be the
light, I will project the energy I wish to attract and I will lead with love,
kindness and courage. I will
unconditionally welcome anyone and everyone in the room with me but if my light
is shining in your eyes, you’d better put your shades on.
