How Can You Be So Selfish?
|
Reader, following your heart ain't for wimps. "You're so selfish! You've ALWAYS been selfish!!"
"Have you gone nuts?"
"I think you're unhinged. This isn't like you."
-Everyone
Family and friends mean well. Maybe. But, they don't know that as crazy and unhinged as they feel you've gone, you probably haven't felt more sure of anything in very, very long while. How can this be? ARE you crazy? NO.One of the things to be prepared for is the blowback from others who aren't prepared for the new you. The person they've grown comfortable with over the years is changing and that threatens their view of their world and their SELF. You can be kind an compassionate while maintaining your truth and following your heart. But, unfortunately nthat doesn't mean the responses you'll get are similarly kind and compassionate. It's not unusual. Prepare yourself and don't take it personally. It tells you a lot about them. xo Lynnelle "Selfish & Proud" Wilson PS - Hit reply and let me know if you're ready to get unhinged yourself. I'm here. |

You Know --"The Stuff" The box of photo albums you've...

People have been telling me for a YEAR, "You have to share this journey!" Reader, if you're like me going "Live" online isn't the most comfortable thing. Recording yourself, in general, is a chore. Still, I've chosen this path of sharing my journey back to myself after retiring... so, here 'goes. So many of you have said how much you admire, how much you'd like to do the same, how envious, how amazed... you are that I'm actually making the move. Long & Winding Road 🎶 If I'm completely...
