I Love Learning!

I signed up for this class a couple of months ago and as some of you may know I have been dealing with depression issues. Not because I have problems in my life but because the chemicals in my brain are whacked! I have been praying that I would feel better before this class began. The class started on Monday and I started a new Med about 8 days before. I have actually been feeling a bit better. I actually want to get up in the morning and I have been singing to music again which is major!!!
Back to the class, Hello Business, Hello Soul. It is only the second day of class and I can tell you it is absolutely amazing! It has made me seriously delve deeper into who I am and exactly what I want. It focuses you in on creating not just a $ making business but a business with soul that means something to you and urges you to keep at it! It if you want to create a business or infuse an already existing business with soul- I urge you to check out this course. I am only 2 days in and it is already blowing my mind!
Until next time- be soulful!

On Being Authentic

So, as previously mentioned, I am taking this most fabulous e-course from Kelly Rae Roberts and it has me delving into and peeling apart some of my layers. Being authentic is a really important action. I thought, " I am authentic, I am totally authentic, Right" hmmmm...
I go to look up the definition and this is what I find:

: not false or imitation : real, actual

: true to one's own personality, spirit, or character

Ok, once again I assure myself that I am totally authentic. Here comes the funny part. I run into my neighbor later that day and we are talking about reading books. I say that I love books as well but I listen to them so that I can clean that house and do laundry while I am listening to my books.

WHAT!!! I had to laugh later because I don't clean while listening to books! Hell no! I listen to my book while I make art! I cut, paint, glue and glitter while the dishes sit in purgatory in the sink! Did I want her to think that I was a good mom and great homemaker with a totally clean house? Does she really care? Totally not authentic!!!

I sometimes wait to do dishes until the next day, I walk over socks for days to see if anybody else will pick them up I once even wore dirty jeans that has underwear stuck in the leg that I didn't realize until I was in the middle of Walmart! I vacuum and dust around objects. I shove toys under my kids beds just so it looks cleaner- and I make art and I am happy! This is authentically me! My whole family is silly and stinkin' happy!
