You know how they say that inspiration strikes when you least expect it or you just need to listen to the universe.  Ahhh…the law of attraction.  I highly believe in it and I am doing my best to practice at living it.  Well, this blog has always been floating around in my mind as I love to write…but was always hushed by my doubts of “what should I write?” and “who is going to read this anyway?” as well as the fears of “what will people think?”.  If you know me, I don’t really care what people think of me.  I just don’t – I am who I am and if we’re cool, we’re cool.  But of course, you want to relate to readers and inspire and present yourself the best possible way you can.  Just like going to a job interview – you care what the interviewer and potential boss will think of you and work at representing yourself in the best possible way.  So back to my initial fear: who was I scared of?  And why should I be scared to share my thoughts if I’m the one choosing to speak them out?  Because some people won’t have the same views or agree with me?  Ppshh that’s a given.  But what about those who do relate and who do take my message as positive or helpful somehow.  I then realized those are who you should focus on – if I can bring light to a topic and help just ONE person – no matter how big or trivial the topic – with my message then I have done a good deed to the universe.  And we should always look for the positive and not dwell in the negative.

So I guess I should rephrase my original statement of not caring what people think of me.  I do care what people think of me and what their takeaway is…but it won’t break me if you don’t like me.  I’m not here for “likes” ala Instagram.  I care about being my true self and getting my message across.  Those who do not like it simply have the choice to “unfriend me” or stop reading and move on.  Notice my social media puns here – definitely intentional, as that is sadly what drives our youth today.  But alas that’s another post for another day.

So here I am, a working mommy of 2 trying to be the change I wish to see in the world by teaching our kids to be kind, compassionate and emotionally stable human beings.  And keeping it real along the way.  ‘Cuz shit, adulting is hard.  Let’s put the tribe mentality back into our communities and go from there.  It won’t happen alone and it won’t happen overnight – but we can work at it together by bringing each other up instead of knocking each other down.  No bullshit.
