Mercury in Retrograde.. A Hard Day

​Mercury? Today was hard hard and there wasn’t a particular instance that made it harder than a normal day but from the time I woke up it was a hard day. It was hard at work, it was hard at home, it was hard to focus. Miscommunication was at an all-time high. There were physical altercations, negative student interactions, negative peer interactions and negative family interactions. Overall stress just beat me down today. I’m tired physically, mentally, and emotionally drained. I honestly want to just get in bed. I had to write it all out of my brain so I won’t carry it with me back home.  I am not sad or upset I just feel depleted. So I am going home to rest right now.

Getting Away From Myself

Just letting it flow. I haven't written in while because I have been getting away from myself. Missing appointments and not making time to write in my planner, not  blogging. I have become consumed with doing for others once again and not taking care of my own basic needs. I drive everywhere, take the kids everywhere, house planning and construction, prom planning, kid activities while trying to stay a relevant business woman and a decent wife. Tired as always, but as I sit here out on the porch during this rain storm with my 3 girls I realize that I am blessed more than stressed. So that's what I'll end with

Feel

I get mad sometimes and that's ok. It took me a long time to be ok with my feelings. The way I used to process feelings was extreme. Either I was REALLY happy, EXTREMELY worried, WAY OVER THE TOP angry or totally underwhelmed. Yeah I know it sounds manic but everything resonated with me. I'm still pretty emotional but I have found a few ways to cope (writing being my fave). 1. I talk about how I feel. It took me a long time to realize that talking about things helps me to process them. When I'm angry, frustrated or confused being able to talk about a situation helps me to see it clearer and move forward. 2. I sit with my feelings. Every emotion doesn't need a reaction or even a name. Sometimes I get an overwhelming urge to smile out of nowhere and that's fine. I revel in those moments. Other times I get a negative feeling that I can't place so I sit still. Not worrying or trying to figure it out. I just notice the feeling and then let it go. The reason for the...

Jada

People put so much emphasis on perfection when thinking about Jada Pinkett-Smith and celebrities/politicians in general. I think about all of the naysayers saying that she can't be an expert on interpersonal relationships or give advice through channels like the Red Table Talk series because of her recent admission of supposed infidelity in her marriage. But she is a human being. That is one thing that has frightened me in all of my professional journeys. People believe that if you fail in one aspect of your life then you don't have the right to give advice to anyone in another area or even in that area of life. It is a perceived notion that you must be perfect all around, have a perfect image everywhere so that you can advise. People are trying to cancel her saying that she can't give anyone advice on anything anymore because of this new revelation. This revelation that is new to us. But who are we really? My question comes in how can people grow if the mistakes they make ...
