Curve balls while living fearless.

I hope you are living fearless. A little over a week ago, while looking at my SUV/Mommy mobile, I thought how good my SUV looked for being 5 years old. Then that same day, while driving out of a parking space, my SUV/Mommy mobile got hit by a reckless driver. As I remain in pain (the reason I am up this time of night)and my rides is busted up, I have to thank God that I was not hurt worst and that when it is all said and done, justice WILL be served. Yes, I know all this in my mind, but what a curve ball?. There I was, minding my own business, being safe and bang! Not home to dinner with the family, but to the hospital and all the doctors' and pharmacy trips since. Then I get some silly news from the other insurance (S. F.),that they don't cover that driver, yet the car is insured. Perhaps they don't know that I read Colorado Revised Statues. They better ask somebody what one of my degrees is in. As I say all the time, this is another time to pull  up my big girl panties, add more to my to do list and getter done. I will keep you posted.

NEW MANTRA

I want to get you apart of my 2011 movement. In the beginning of the year, I started a new conversation with myself.
It goes like this... LIVE FEARLESS!!!!!!!. That is it. it is what I tell myself over and over throughout the day. It is what I believe in my heart. It is how I am living my life. You see I did not say, trying to live my life, but it is how I am living my life. Please, join me. LIVE FEARLESS! Be bold. Recreate yourself. Do something you thought you could not or would not do. Let me know how it is working for you. I welcome your comments and questions. I will return soon and tell you what I am working on and how it is coming along.

Teachable Moments

When you get them you have to seize the moment. I had such a moment today. As you will learn, we don’t have cable TV. I think it is full of crappy shows and way to expensive. Most of what we watch, we can see through the internet and we love our commercial free dvd and TV show service. You know the one. I am just not giving a shot out. Anyway, I got a dvd in the mail and began to  watching it today. The movie is, Gifted Hands,The Ben Carson Story. I can’t begin to do justice on that man’s life story here, so if you don’t know the name, Google him. I so wanted our son to watch, but I did not want to force it on him. I wanted him to take interest himself. Shortly after it stated, he did. He sat and watched the whole movie. I was very impressed in how caught up he was.

He made brief comments throughout the movie that were very appropriate for his age. When the movie was done, he was so happy with the ending. I was happy for him and his excitement of seeing a "brown man" like him, doing such great and wonderful things. Our son spoke about how Dr. Carson overcame his anger issues and how he applied himself to his studies

In that moment, it came to me to talk to him about "Tenacity". He came and sat on my lap and looked at me with his seven year old eyes and  said, "what's that". I said that is what Dr. Carson had to be successful at what he wanted in his life. I explained that the word means to be tenacious, to be determined or persistent, to stick to a plan for a long time. I went one to say that Dr. Carson worked hard for a long time, not just one test in school to achieve his goals, because he was tenacious and persistent. I added that Dr. Carson  was "Audacious". It was Dr. Carson's audacity that allowed him to be bold and take on something difficult. Dr. Carson did what many people did not think he would or could accomplish. 

I then asked our son, if he thinks he could be tenacious and audacious? Can he do what people may not think he can do? Could he make a plan and stick to it? Could he make a dream come true with his own hard work? Can he achieve what his mind may be telling him he can't? The challenge is on. 

I plan on keeping mindfulness on these topics. I am going to continue to ask him how he will have a tenacious day and does he have the audacity to succeed. 

I urge you get rent or buy the movie Gifted Hands. I think it is very important for "kids of color" to see it, but wonderful lessons for all kids of any school age or color. Some folks think kids don't see color. Perhaps, that is so if they are not one. That is a topic for another day. 

Good day and live each moment with tenacious audacity!

First Post!

Here it comes! The true and nothing but the truth as I know it. If you came for nice words and hand holding, sorry. My doctor recently told me, "if I don't give it to you straight, who will"? She had a point yet that alone was not what I wanted to hear, but just what I needed. So strap in, pull up your big girl panties and your big boy boxers and get ready for a journey!
