What I'd say to you if we were face to face

Hello there!

I hope that your weekend was restful, fun and just plain awesome!

I'd like to ask you out to coffee today.

You see,I want you to know more of my heart, more of my thoughts and more of what goes on in my world. This is a place of authenticity, so one of the ways for it to remain that way is if you know more of the
in's and out's of me. So talking over coffee is the perfect way to do that!

Let me tell you something you already know, the world ain't always sunshine and rainbows
{you remember that line from the new Rocky movie? I love that line and scene}
Even in the times that it isn't 100% sunny we can still inspire and encourage.
HOW?
By being true to what's going on, {this doesn't mean embracing it} because guess what?
someone else, is going through, thinking or feeling the same thing as you.

When you know you're not alone, and can relate with someone who feels the same as you,
community forms. Where community forms there is power. You can then join hands and move forward together. So today I'm going to share the first few things that come out of my heart
as I would if we were sitting face to face and you asked me

"What's up? How are you doing?"

If we were sitting face to face I'd probably be smiling. Happy to be with you!

 I might begin by telling you that I'm so glad to be out, doing something different.

You see friendships in my life right now are stagnant.

 I've never been one to have a zillion friends, more like a few very close girlfriends. 

Right now I must be in the phase of transitioning into a new group of ladies,

 because I don't see my old friends, ever. I would tell you that it's hard for me to feel like

 I've tried and they haven't. (this probably isn't the truth, but it's now I feel)

So while this makes me sad I am really glad that I know God has a new lineup of the 

perfect woman who are to be in my life next.

If you asked me about homeschooling I would probably sigh and tell you that I didn't have much
fun with it this week and neither did my son. This week was our first week back from
winter break and it was rough. Our schooling goes in waves. It's either awesome or it
totally sucks for both of us. I'd probably then share with you that I really wish other
schooling options outside of public schooling did not cost $400+ dollars a month!
 I would then probably tell you that I find that price truly ridiculous! 

If you asked me about new years resolutions I would tell you about the different route I've

 gone this year, and instead of a long list of "to do's" I've gone with choosing a word to lead

 my year. The word I chose is intention. I would tell you that I'm so happy about what it's

 revealing to me. Already it has shown me many areas that I was well, FAILING in being

 intentional about, but that's ok. I'm happy to know. I've started putting intention into a few 

areas and it has felt so great to my heart. I have also been feeling the need to step into

 the next phase of where I am to be intentional. This excites me because it makes me feel as 

if I am making the next step into walking out my destiny. I feel like God is asking me "You really

 care about that? Ok, then what are you going to DO about it?" It's time to progress into more

 action and intentionally furthering what I truly believe in, that is exciting, and probably scary!

At this point if you and I were talking I'd probably feel as if I've said quite enough and
then eagerly listen to all that's happening in your world!

Thanks friends, for reading and hearing more of my heart today. Thanks
for sharing in my world. I appreciate your friendships, hearts, thoughts and prayers.

Wishing you a fabulous Monday!
