It's okay to be imperfectly perfected!

Today, I decided to record outside with the wind bustling through the trees and the acorns falling. I've reached a place in my life where I'm okay with being imperfectly perfect. Sure I love operating in excellence, but I have learned to give myself some grace and show up anyway. I want you to be there too. Social media has attempted to dictate what worth, true happiness and prestige is. So many are wondering when will my life be picture perfect too? But should the success barometer be based solely on wealth or what appears to be the “American Dream.” All depends on whose doing the dreaming. Wealth is more than finances, but also a mindset of contentmentent, hope and faith. Wealth is relationships where you feel valued, seen and heard by people who genuinely love you. Our lives and value were never to be based on a snapshot of someone else's happiness. “I'm me in the moment.” In the sad and happy moments; in the celebratory and temporary moments of seeming defeat, it's still me. I have learned God has been and is with me in those moments even when I wondered, “Why is this happening?” He was with me when I was leaping for joy. He was with me at the birth of my child and with me when I cried knowing I would have to raise her for a time as a solo mom. He's the same God in moments of joyful crescendos and temporary disbelief from trauma and tragedy. It all matters. Nope it wasn't “perfect.” God never said it would be. But you and I get to show up in a world that screams elitism and say “I’m valuable. I'm worth being in whatever space I occupy, and I'm imperfectly perfected. Yes, I belong here too.” I enjoyed recording this for you outside with the wind blowing and all. If your tuning in for first time or not go ahead and give a follow to be in the know of new content and more. It's a podcast where I share powerful vulnerable moments. Because I truly believe the world would be a better place if we learned to celebrate people in each part of their journey. As a woman of faith I know the Lord spent time with those who celebrated and he was also there with those who were cast down. We all matter. So, don't let the social media snippets cause you to compare where you are now. Sometimes you may have to shut it down. You've got other things to do :-). That was the Life Coach coming out. Feel free to take the self-help mini course on my link tree. So glad I was blessed to create it for you. The course will challenge your thinking and cause you to celebrate ever moment of your journey because every part of your journey matters. Here's to celebrating more perfectly imperfect moments. Thanks for listening.
