My Journey to Me-The Discovery

As I write this, I am thinking perfectionism fits perfectly here right after the topic of achieving personal goals since the two can be intertwined. I am the type of person who starts something brand new on Monday and expects to be perfect at it by Friday (of the same week). Yes, I am a closet perfectionist. (I guess since I am writing this, I am no longer in the closet!) And I had been frustrated a lot of times in my life.

I learned a valuable lesson about perfectionism from my granddaughter. Continue reading “Why You Shouldn’t Be Perfect” →

I want to use my weekly post to thank Robert Wingfield for allowing me to be guest blogger for his blog, The RAW Blog. (http://rawblog.posterous.com/) Let me tell you a little bit about him. He is a native of Nashville, TN and a graduate of the illustrious HBCU Fisk University (yeah Fiskite!). Rob is a media consultant in Nashville and blogs about current events, food, music and entertainment. I have known Rob for a long time and felt greatly honored that he would allow me to express myself to his followers. Check out his blog.

And while I am talking about guest blogging, if you (yes, you) would like to write something, anything, to be posted on my blog, email me at myjourneytome@gmail.com. Be glad to have you!

THAT Stirring

October 30, 2011October 31, 2011 My Journey to Me-The Discovery

Ever read or hear a message then felt something jump inside of you so much tears came into your eyes? Yes? That feeling, that stirring means you were supposed to read or hear those words at that point in time. It means those words were meant just for you, even if you are sitting in a vast audience.

The other day, I was idly going through my emails and opened an email update of a blog I subscribe to. The title of the blog post was catchy because I was feeling that way. I started to read the post. And something jumped deep inside of me, I was overwhelmed and I cried. But I was energized and eager to conquer my day! And I did!

So the next time you get that feeling, that stirring, don’t ignore it. You might miss something great about you. What did I read you ask? It was “Are You Stuck?’by Darren Hardy, Publisher of SUCCESS magazine. Click the title to read it. Enjoy!

Question for Comment: Have you ever experienced that stirring? What did you do about it?

Why a Blog?

October 30, 2011October 31, 2011 My Journey to Me-The Discovery

Yes, I am writing a blog. You are probably asking yourself why??? Well, this blog is to be a catharsis for me…. a place to write the thoughts and adventures I am having in my life right now. I also hope this blog helps other people to stop and think, to see life differently, to laugh at themselves, to know they can still learn and grow, and whatever else they get from my blog that helps them become better.

I will be 54 this year and am the only child. That may also explain this blog…I don’t have any siblings to dump on. Anyway, I am enjoying my life more now than when I was younger. In December 2008, I walked away from my career in law, from a position as a judge, to do something different. I lot of people ask me if walking away was hard to do.

The answer is no for two reasons. Continue reading “Why a Blog?” →
