confession friday

hello goddess friends!

I hope you've had a delightful week... or at least you've tried to see the bright side of life, even if life has handed you a few lemons...

****tomorrow is the drawing for the Suubi beads! Don't forget to share this blog or start to follow, and you can be entered in the drawing to WIN the beads, and I'll send them to you!****

Anyway, please feel free to confess here if you need to!

Here I go...

*there are some people in my world driving me nuts. Every day I'm waking up and willing myself to have love and grace for them. Sometimes that is really difficult. Sometimes that involves raising children. This is life :).

*Along those same lines... there are very few people on this earth I don't like. Obviously we can all be picky about people, me included, but I can count on one hand the people I'd rather eat poo than be stuck in an elevator with. Most people I could totally handle. But oh dear, I met this woman this week. She broke my heart. She was the meanest, snobbiest person I've ever encountered, and I'm not exaggerating. But goddesses continue to be respectful and lovely despite such rudeness, and I will vow to do that. I may need some of your prayers and good vibes to accomplish this. geesh.

*I'm sort if in a state of shock, because my children are growing up very quickly. But I do have to confess... it's nice watching them become more independent(ahem... because I get to be more independent)! What a cool process to watch them grow and change and become their own little people. Truly awesome!

*One thing I struggled with this week? Wanting a lot of money, and wanting to earn in fast. But as soon as those money thoughts enter my head, I get tunnel vision and forget about what's really important in life. For me, it's really dangerous to fall into that trap of assuming money or things will make me happy. It's such a huge lie that we swallow. I'm actively working against this desire, and refocusing. It feels so good and refreshing and FREEING! to refocus... on my family, my work, my friends, my blessings.

*speaking of $$, I often find myself wishing that my more well-off family/friends would be willing to give more of their wealth to worthy causes. From my perspective it seems that the most $ towards the poor comes from my friends who are poor themselves. But, I can't judge someone based on what I want. I have no clue what's going on in each person's life financially, even if it appears that they're doing really well. So my judgment helps nothing. (although we could ALL be encouraged to be more open-handed with our stuff and money).

*I keep having dreams that someone is going to invent Nutella frosting for a strawberry cake. One of you cake people out there needs to jump on this. It will be delightful. At least it was in my dream.

Have a wonderful day and weekend! Go ahead and confess your junk here if you need to... and remember...
