So friends, last month I talked about having the courage and taking the risk to HEAR the truth….it really resonated for me.
This month, as usual, I voiced my intention to generate a topic and let it come…and, as usual, it did. This month, however, I did not make the time to put my thoughts down on paper (the virtual kind).
So, I’m taking a bit of a left turn and writing this brief note about risking TELLING the truth.
I blew it.
I procrastinated too long.
I didn’t manage my time appropriately.
The dog ate it…scratch that one.
I’m sorry to all of you – there is no excuse. No explanation. Yes, I’m busy, but who isn’t? This is important to me and I’m sorry I’ve let you down – I’m sorry I’ve not lived up to a commitment that is important to me.
And I’m committed tonite to just telling the truth, apologizing and not taking that oh-so-familiar last step of beating myself up.
I’ll be back next month!

“not taking that oh-so-familiar last step of beating myself up.” AMEN, sister!
I’m so grateful for your truth-telling, along with your gentleness with yourself. That in itself is such a risk, because our world seems wired for “perfection” (whatever that is).
So your “left turn” is really a “right” turn, in my humble opinion.
