Friday Feelings 1/31/20

The month of January has flown by.

My daughter turned four today and that makes me proud, sad, and insanely blessed. As I sit here and watch my new life unfold, I feel a flux of emotions running through my body as I type this very post. I’m not sure if I can even find words to describe what I am feeling or going through.

Yet, I’ve managed to write a book about my story. I managed to start a new website on the art of tough transitions. And a lot of other cool shit is going on in life.

Something interesting happens when you begin to be honest with yourself and let life flow. You live with a sense of purpose and intent. Every minute, every second, is purposeful, rather than walking around life like a mindless zombie.

I don’t want to walk around mindless anymore.

I find myself writing more these days. Somedays I write a few words in my journal, other days long Instagram posts. And somedays I hit my second draft hard. It’s not easy. But damn does it feel good.

I’m diving deeper into the context of human connection. Through my journey, I am discovering what it means to be strong. I’ve always thought the idea of a strong man was a man who could do it all. A man who would never give up. A man who didn’t show his feelings. These days, I know that is far from the truth.
