This Is Me

Some days I'm kicking butt and nailing it in a conference room. Others days I'm literally curled up in a corner, overcome with anxiety.

This is me.

Some days I am very confident as I ask for someone to contribute 10k to the non-profit I work for. Other days I fight all kinds of demons to ask for a $25 donation.

This is me.

Some days I look in the mirror and think "I'm still looking pretty good for a 50 year old woman." Other days I look in the mirror and recall the day when I said that I looked ugly in a picture and my biological father told me "the camera only takes a picture of what it sees."

This is me.

Some days I keep my house is incredibly neat. Some days I leave the house with dishes in the sink.

This is me. 

Some days I forgive easy and love unconditional. Others days my heart hurts and I react out of that hurt.

This is me.

Some days I make the most amazing and healthy food. Other days I'm so busy that I am literally feeding myself and my girls Hot & Ready Pizza from Little Caesars . . . at 10 PM at night . . . in the car . . . as we drive home.

This is me. 

Most days I know that I am an amazing mom and wife. And then other days I feel like such a failure.

This is me. 

Some days I'm grateful for friends and the seasons that each one has walked with me. Other days, I want to hide away and not risk letting another friend hurt me.

This is me. 

Some days I am flipping awesome at balancing life's demands. Then everyone once in awhile I have a day that makes me laugh at the word balance and wonder what moron ever thought that you could actually live a balanced life . . . and I laugh even harder at the Sherry of 9 years ago that wrote a book on balance and I'm almost happy that a freak mishap kept that book from being published.

This is me. 

It's true. This is me. All of it. The good. The crappy. The in-between.

This is me. 

This is real life. No mask. (I'm claustrophobic so I couldn't wear a mask even if I wanted to!!)

This is me. 

It might be you too. If it is, if you relate to any of this, then let's do this crazy thing called life together . . .

Follow along. I promise you that you will not be bored and maybe, just maybe, as I learn and grow and share my life with you, you'll learn and grow from my experiences. And then again, maybe you'll just laugh with me or even at me. Either way, you won't be bored.
