Good morning but may be afternoon by the time this posts. Today’s Word of the day is Purpose. What does Purpose mean to you ? How do you relate Purpose to your Life? Can your Purpose change? there it is run with it. Have fun be creative with the Word of the day but be honest with yourself during the process. Yesterday, I posted a clip from Cup of Real on Grief on more than one social media site. If you get a chance to view it do so and drop a comment if you feel inclined to do so, it will be much appreciated. Sometimes like the clip explains all you can do is be present and go through the motions and not much more. You know what that’s ok and it is Ok Not to Be Ok, we just can’t live there. So for those of you going through something right now whether fresh or resurfacing previous experiences know that it’s ok. Again, it’s OK not to be OK just don’t live there. I read this yesterday and will post on the blog today as well “ Any unresolved loss can also trigger a person if a new loss happens “ – CPTSD Foundation. That is an extremely powerful statement and the Truth of the matter is we might not even realize it at the time. Something new might occur and then a reoccurrence of thoughts , feelings that you have not had in some time . I would like to add to that quote is Any loss ever completely resolved? Or does some of it still live on ? Now, that does not mean in a bad way and very well could be the most beautiful thing than we could ever asked for. But begs the question is it still there ? So sometimes it’s ok to just be and I think we need to hear this more often and lighten up on ourselves. You cannot always be expected to perform at the ultimate level, nor believe your thought process will not be cloudy at times. In fact during these times those things and probably much more will happen and all you can do and barely at that is be present. Again, that’s more than ok . We just can’t live there . When we ourselves and/or others feel as if we may be parked in that level it is important to first recognize it, not run from it. Then look at the facts , you do not have to own all your thoughts and frankly some are just false . By doing these first two steps you have started the work. Go to God and ask him for guidance, allow him to reveal and truly listen , it is essential you accept what he puts in your path along the way . Get In Community, Get Vulnerable, Dig Deep, Be Intentional, Have a Routine, Do not be hard on yourself, Look at the Facts! It’s ok to not be ok , even if you don’t see it but don’t live there and if it gets thrown into park then start with Neutral and progress Gear by Gear . Please keep in mind just like when you learn to drive a standard it will roll back and honestly it is expected just be aware of what is in back of you to avoid a collision. Anyone, who has or will drive a standard knows it will roll until you get the clutch down . You will roll as well just keep an eye on what’s back there to avoid the collision. And no I am not saying live in the past , now you can visit there but don’t put down a down payment. It’s Ok not to be Ok and you need to know that , just don’t live there or you will roll backwards into a collision. Show yourself Grace during this time for whatever is going on in your life .If you knew someone going through the same situation would you treat them the same way as yourself? So today if all you could do is get out of bed and allow your feet to hit the ground congratulations. Love you all. Love yourself and others .

Lord, I confess that my ideas, plans, and agenda are not always in alignment with Yours. Sometimes I see an easy or quick solution to my problems, yet You call me to defer to Your timing and Your purpose. Help me Lord, to set aside my own will and seek Yours, so that I may work within Your plan and purpose for me. In Jesus’ name, amen.
