Where Did I Go?

Greetings, friends! I’m sitting down with some of my mushroom coffee (with some half-and-half smoothness of course) after having opened the curtains to watch the wind blow through the trees in the front yard outside my office window. It’s a Saturday morning and a perfect time to carve out some time with you. The fact that you’re reading this means you’ve carved out time for me as well, and that does not go unappreciated.

Gosh… where to begin? So much has happened since the first of the year. You know how when you’re in the thick of things and you don’t trust yourself to have “proper” perspective and not say things that should go unsaid? That’s been me. I thought I’d come off as whiney, so I haven’t really been confiding/unloading, which isn’t really all that healthy. I have to remind myself that the fact everyone else has problems of their own doesn’t negate mine and it’s ingrained in our humanity to reach out for community and support in one’s tribe. The COVID-19 situation has served to enforce a sense of isolation as well, but more about that later.

I’ll probably be staggering posts and scheduling them out in such a way that they don’t seem like such a word vomit all at one time, but here are things on which I’ll be touching:

• Deaths/Losses in Q1 2020 and the interplay of the Reflected Best Self Exercise from the New Year.

• Aubrey Marcus’s Go For Your Win course and my progress so far in defining my personal mission statement.

• The powerful book I’m reading and a few of its suggested therapies I tried.

• COVID-19 changes and what I’ve been trying to accomplish, only to feel overwhelmed, stressed, and ineffective.

One thing that has me excited is that my audiobook Sandra has been pushed to distributors (except to the audiobook giant Audible, more on that in an upcoming post) and should be available sometime soon! I had selected a street date of 5/10 (which is now tomorrow), but from what I read, that’s not enough time. I’ll keep you updated though.

Love,

“Scheffy”
