I am having a great week, today I met with a few musicians who are actually willing to work on their craft and put together a working band. The rehearsal was a little rough because they are all learning new songs for the sake of the singer (me)! The previous band members all wanted to play blues, which is great, but doesn't lend much to a female vocalist. When I chimed in about the songs I knew, they seemed to lose interest. So, I didn't give up, and neither did my friend Mark, the drummer. He believes in me and is willing to stick it out until we find other musicians who will play with us. Today was a good day. We only played two songs, but that is more than any other practice we have ever had. We even agreed to meet twice a week to practice...wow!
Other than that, I have been reading and putting my thoughts about working at home back into focus. It's truly what I want, and believe I can do. This week, I intend to "walk away" from my freelancing and do a little home improvement project. My back patio is in need of a little re-vamping, so while the kids are doing their STAR testing this week, I plan on spending some time at home depot and plot my course of action.
So, what does this have to do with the title of my post? Good question. I have loosely been pursuing my personal growth for 15 years, but more seriously the past 2. I was so lost in my own cry-baby bs to really understand what spirituality meant to me, and now I am much more focused on what is important. I have stopped asking "why me?" and started looking at "why NOT me?" There is absolutely no reason why I cannot be successful, and no reason I cannot raise happy, healthy children. I have a good heart, I am loving, I am ambitious and sharp as a tack...so why NOT me? No reason, no reason at all.
My Library of Self-Help books really keep me in line. I stray from the path from time to time, and when I am ready to regroup I fall back on my books, revisit them, and whenever I do that I learn something new and see that I have actually taken many steps forward in healing. I highly recommend, the "Conversations With God" Series, "You Can Heal Your Life", and "The Game of Life and How To Play It". Visit my Amazon Store and check out some of these titles if you are not familiar with them!
