today’s mantra: the world is a better place with me in it.

have you found your purpose yet? it’s a magical thing when you reach a point where you feel whole, confident, loved, and full of purpose. i know what it’s like to flounder around full of insecurities and anxieties. and, when you are the parent, sprinkle a bit of mom guilt on top bc at this point if feels like we should know everything so we can pass the wisdom on to our kids, right?

reality = we are not perfect beings. we are allowed to have stages of floundering in life. sometimes we are strong. sometimes we are weak.

Our primary purpose in this life is to help others. And, if you can’t help them, at least don’t hurt them.

Dalai Lama, teacher of wisdom

during weak moments, i like to retreat to my cave of wonders, my creativity corner, my bedroom. (all the same place BTW.) crowds DO from time to time stress me out.

Frogan the Gizard (thx for the name kidz) here is ALWAYS scared of crowds. he runs away at the first sign of movement. he struggles with #socialanxiety . sometimes it is so bad that he sits in his closet in the dark. with the door closed. sometimes he is brave – he ventures out for shopping, food, or maybe a movie in a dark theatre where chance of being sighted is low.

Frogan is working on finding his purpose. He is awkwardly taking steps out of his literal and proverbial closets to come OUT. He makes baby steps forward, a couple backwards, and then forward again. and that’s progress!

When you dance, your purpose is not to get to a certain place on the floor. It’s to enjoy each step along the way.

Wayne Dyer, author

it took me some time to see my worth. i have spent years with #fear of #abandonment . i still struggle. but what has helped is hard work on myself, others believing in me, and, eventually, me believing in my worth to the world around me.

you have a purpose! have you found the calling that sparks joy within you? it will help lead you from your #dark #scary places.

YOU ARE LOVED 💜
