I’ve been told this for years but I still do not know why.
- I don’t lead a high profile People Magazine life
- I am not a grammatically correct writer
- I do not consider myself comical
- I am not overly adventurous – although I have been to over half the US states including Hawaii and Alaska
- I do not strive for excitement
- I have no organization to my thinking
- And I certainly do not like to be in the spot light
However most say my life is a breath of fresh air to most – I’m simply:
- Bluntly honest
- Progressive thinker
- Fact driven
- Strong and independent
- Successful businesswoman
- Solid in execution of my principles and beliefs
- Goal focused
- Self-accountable
- A fabulous Mom
- One of few close-knit friends (quality is valued more than quantity)
- A believer in the #1 gift in life is time
- One who wakes up everyday eager to go to work at a business I created from scratch
- Introvert with an Extrovert on switch
- Small town Iowa girl with a love of the land, nature, and ma and pa restaurants
Nothing flashy – so why ‘write’ a book on it?
Maybe because some shared life experiences will help me grow – personally and professionally. Some will allow me to release some of the negative emotions hanging around from those life experiences I wish I didn’t have to live through but did.
Maybe because some shared life experiences will help those who read this grow – personally and professionally. My friend Allyson is not perfect but she’s a ‘journalist’ on FB page. I read her posts and leave them with a sense of ‘Wow, I’m not the only one struggling to juggle a full life!’ Today’s Allyson discussion is on safe place.
‘When I think of a safe place I think of a soft place to land with a good feeling knowing, a place that feels like home, a place lacking judgement, and a place full of acceptance. A soft place to land is where I feel heard. A soft place to land is a hard place to find these days in relationships. From friends to spouses it can be difficult depending on the season you are in or the season they are in to feel at home, to feel you have a voice, to feel welcome, to feel safe emotionally’ – Allyson.
Maybe that’s why I need to write a book – for myself and others to find that safe place.
Or maybe it’s because I have a lot to say…
