This week we have been so busy with routine things. I have been working on a Fired Up and Focused challenge for my business and it has been AMAZING!! Personal and business development is a life-long learning experience! We have made one trip to the ER with my husband following a pretty good fall. My ‘nother child in college is having a case of the blues and there isn’t much I can do about it, cannot make people be her friend! 😦 Oldest daughter having tooth pains which required a 3 hour visit to the dentist’s office and then we wait to make sure insurance will pay for the crowns! Homeschooling lessons that are engaging and fun and let the kiddos learn, yeah we are working on that one!!
So folks there is a HUGE amount of people in the world. Making it a BIG BIG world. However thanks to Facebook and an awesome group of prayer warriors I have discovered that sometimes the world shrinks a little. You see a wonderful woman who is also a hairstylist and grew up in my tiny corner of the world has had a bilateral stroke and things are not looking good for her long term. Turns out our family and behavioral therapist is one of this angels clients!!! Small world!! We connect with people in so many ways and on so many levels that as scary as the world is we can connect with people. This lovely hairstylist who does such a great job for her clients is now facing the battle for her life and we are standing together in prayer for her to get better. She may not remember me as I was such a small part of her early life, but I remember her and I will pray for her and her friends and loved ones because when we were kids she extended kindness to me!! And even if she was a stranger I would pray for her because its who I am.
And more BIG world Small world…There is a wonderful Younique presenter that I have met through Facebook who is facing the same diagnostic struggles that my husband is facing!! The pains are so similar when she spoke about them I just KNEW exactly what she was going to say before she ever said it!! The little bit of numbness in her hands and arms, tingling in her toes and tripping over and stumbling through the day!! And as awful as it is that she is experiencing this, my husband is NOT alone!! It is not something he conjured up in his head, it is real and someone else is going through the same thing!! That part feels amazing!! Feeling like you are alone in an uphill battle is never fun!! Realizing that there are others in the world that know what you are going through as awful as your struggle may be, it feels good, you feel validated. You feel less alone!
My week is winding down but we can totally manage some meal planning, lesson plans, working my business, and a few phone calls. I hope when you read this a light dawns on you. Reach out. Make that call. Send that message!! You can make a difference with just a few words, a gesture, whatever you can manage. You can make the world a smaller and more accepting place!! GO be Beautiful!! Love and light!
