On the Gram

Sometimes we don’t know we made a wrong turn unt

Sometimes we don’t know we made a wrong turn until we turned and drove an hour down the road.

This quote by Cait Flanders 👉🏽 hit me today while I listened to her audiobook at the gym.

This is so true.

And I still kind of hate it.

Why do we have to take so many wrong turns in order to steer ourselves onto the right path?

I guess it’s true what they say, this life journey doesn’t have a final destination, it’s in the journey… The journey of finding ourselves, learning, growing, changing, expanding…

The entire universe has proven to be ever expanding, so why not us? Rumor has it our expansion aids in the expansion of the whole. 🌎 Which I kind of love. It means we’re all in this together and any act in a direction that causes you to grow or pivot is actually aiding in the growth and expansion of those around us.

You probably know by now that it wasn’t until we got the house of our dreams that we realized it didn’t align with what we actually wanted. Has there been a time when you’ve had to face a similar realization?

My daughter whinnnnes the whole way on our hikes….unless…

Unless I talk to her and listen to her.

If I distract her with conversation her whole attitude shifts. We have a GOOD time.

And you know what? She drags her feet less!

Our hikes are faster and more enjoyable when we can allow ourselves to enjoy the trek to the top.

Imagine ONLY allowing ourselves to be happy when we have the EXACT result we want.

Imagine how sluggish…

Imagine the desire to stop and sit and never make the climb.

It’s not always easy to stay focused when we aren’t seeing things go “our way…”

But here’s the thing, you are on this journey no matter what. At the end of the day the only option is to have a good time or … have a shitty time.

It’s a decision we all get to make. That’s why my new goal is this: “Feel good for no good reason.”

Just because I want to spend my life with more energy and momentum and I don’t want to waste it with a sour face and a bad attitude if I can avoid it.

This shirt makes me laugh every. single. time. 🙌🏽

Faaaaack. That’s a lot of change. 👉🏽 That

Faaaaack. That’s a lot of change. 👉🏽 That felt overwhelming.

😂 I was going to come at you with some inspirational words but just finding these few photos reminded me of just how much I am friggin’ capable of!!

You see, on bad days I tend to feel like I’m failing, missing the mark, getting it all wrong. That I’ll be stuck somewhere forever.

But I see these pictures and I remember…
👉🏽I figured out how to downsize our house
👉🏽I figured out how to pay off our debt
👉🏽I learned to make income online
👉🏽I somehow convinced people to give me a free hotel stay in a 5 star hotel 😂
👉🏽I got sick of waiting around for full time travel so I bought the minivan I said I would never buy and I started sleeping in the damn thing!

Woo! Let me go give myself a pat on the back because hot damn that’s pretty impressive.

The best way I have heard it said in a while! Whe

The best way I have heard it said in a while!

When I first started our debt free journey and began showing up in the #debtfreecommunity I was sooo focused on limiting my spending, penny pinching and cutting back that I created a big lack in my mindset.

While I’m thankful for the financial knowledge I gained, I am finally figuring out how to get back to the prosperous mindset I once had.

I would give handfuls of cash at church offerings just because it was there. I would casually drop $1,000 to a student loan when I felt like it.

At the same time I had no plan for my money and spent without thinking….and then brought in huge amounts so it didn’t matter.

Finding balance between care free money maker and penny pinching anxious person has been an up and down challenge and hot damn, I’m on the other side guys!

It’s pretty freaking awesome over here.

Man, I love that I am not this woman anymore! 🙌

Man, I love that I am not this woman anymore! 🙌🏽

That’s really all I see when I look at this.

👉🏽A woman who believed she was defined by her looks
👉🏽A woman who believed her children had to fit a mold or people would judge her as a mom
👉🏽A woman who had blocked off her heart to fully trusting her marriage because she had been hurt too many times before

So much growth has taken place since this day.

In letting go I have been able to connect to my true self (not the people pleasing person I once was).

I have been able to see my children unfold into who they were meant to be without me holding them back out of my own fear.

My marriage is strong and is a constant marathon where sometimes one is ahead and one is behind but we always catch up and sprint together for a while.

We have an anime obsessed son. Not a football star.

A wannabe filmmaker youngest daughter … who never lets me put pony tails in anymore 🤪

A 20 year old daughter whose style is … all black. I wore her out with too much pink.

And a 26 year old applying for medical school and planning her wedding!

I don’t even know the people in that first picture…but I know they had no idea how happy life would really be.

Do you ever take action JUST for the sake of takin

Do you ever take action JUST for the sake of taking action?!

It’s like you’re moving and staying busy to convince yourself you’re doing something useful but ultimately you end up going nowhere?

I’m super good at that.

I am a genius at coming up with ideas that I burn out on too quickly.

I am so good at coming up with ways to make money without asking myself if that’s actually something I want to do long term.

I am soooo good at taking action. Not so good at slowing down and connecting to that part of me that ALWAYS brings me to peaceful, purposeful, action.

My “Do Less” experiment is still in full swing and I am tellin’ ya…it’s a success in big ways.

It’s so easy to go slow on vacation and come home feeling totally aligned, it’s a little tougher to to continue the slow when life goes back to normal — but I’m working on it.

What do you think you could do to intentionally sloooowwww down a little bit in order to reconnect to yourself and your inner guidance?
