Space between




After having a restart on my treadmill plan, getting new Saucony shoes, new socks and even a new FitBit to travel activity .. I'm still stalled!  This time it's dealing with blisters and headaches!  I have developed these awful blood blisters on two toes and it's frustrating me.  I have the medicated pads to use to cushion and treat them .. and still I'm not back up to speed.

I'm realizing there are times to just let go.  To allow things to happen in their own time.  And this is one of those times.  There are times to let people go.  And I've done some of that too.  And boy, would the running help ease that issue at this point.  Yet here I am.

I read a really great passage lately.  It suggested that Let It Go could really just mean Let It Be.  And therefore there is no action other than to relax and allow the situation to flow through you.  The other concept I've been helping my team remember lately is what is within your control.  There are just so many things that are outside our control, let's remember what is within our control and deal with that.

Today I will breathe, move, laugh, learn and share.  That will be my main goal.  And it will be exactly what I need.  At the end of the day I hope to have my 10,000 steps complete, to have laughed with family and friends and to believe I did the very best I could do.



Most of all, at the end of the day, I hope to have been successfully in my effort to Let It Be.

#BeBrave

I found myself in an unfamiliar and uncomfortable place this week.  It's taken me days to process what occurred, how I responded and how I'm choosing to move forward. In a professional environment, during an ordinary 3pm de-brief meeting I found myself being verbally attacked and disrespected by a bully.  I remained calm, spoke my mind carefully and respectfully.  It was surprising and over the next few days became increasingly unsettling. There were others in the room, and no one spoke to support me.  It has struck me as so odd, hurtful and profoundly unacceptable. Like any good drama episode written by Aaron Sorkin or JJ Abrams, let's rewind to 8 hours earlier. Once again browsing new selections in iTunes for my running mix.  I know, I get bored easily, huh?  I love how the music motivates me so I'm always on the lookout for new and upbeat songs.  I came across a feature for the new Sara Bareilles album streaming for free this weekend, so I b...

Be yourself

Sometimes things just hit me like out of the blue and I wonder why didn't I think of that sooner!?  And after the realization settles in I'm at such peace.  This has happened several times recently at work with all the lessons I've amassed over the last 8 months of a project that is coming to a close.  I honestly didn't realize that I learned so much, or that I was actually putting those lessons into action. I find that I evolve at an interesting rate.  Sometimes it feels as though nothing changes, and other times it's like I don't even remember how things used to be.  And all the while I've maintained that I just need to be myself.  Although I've changed over time through the lessons, the core of who I am remains the same. And that's a great feeling.  To not have to turn myself inside out to fit.  It not only allows me to be authentic, but feels so true deep inside.  I say what I mean, I mean what I say and I know how to say it as to...

How to get out of an EPIC funk!

This morning I woke to a funk.  Yes, mine.  Reasons to me were relatively clear.  Relationships in my life that are not working.  Lingering fear.  Dissatisfaction in my primary relationship.  To be honest seems like the same stuff that's been hanging on for the last six months. Today felt heavy.  Too heavy for a holiday. How do I push through it?  Cause it seems that I'm unable to go around it. Again. A holiday means every one is home with me.  So solitude is not really the answer.  But writing is. So how did I get out of an epic funk this morning.  I got honest with myself.  And I cried.  Cause feelings hurt.  And people disappoint.  Yet somehow, someway life moves on. I got honest with myself by writing about it.  Detailing what was troubling me into this place and what I saw as the way out.  I gave myself permission to be honest.  Even though it wasn't simple or fascinating.  ...
