"Hello Beautiful Sharon,

Let go of the past. Letting go isn’t approval or forgiveness,  it’s freedom, opening the way for fresh possibilities and new stories to be written."

The Joy Energy

🌷 Real Talk

It has been quite the week, lots of twists and turns. Things I thought would go one way didn’t, and the messiness of real life showed up in full color.

None of us lives in a Hallmark movie with a happily-ever-after ending - our stories continue to unfold. 

But here’s the beautiful deal: you can still enjoy the journey, even when unwanted realities show up. But it takes focus and faith.

The easy path might be to give in to despair, hopelessness, and fear. It’s often what’s expected.

I think of an acquaintance whose son unexpectedly died. Instead of falling into a pit of negativity, she has chosen to celebrate him,  to write about his life and joys. Her beautiful writings help others turn to the positive and learn to live in a less-than-perfect world.

Or another friend who would visit a dear friend with cancer. It was awful. She would ask how things were going, and they’d both end up in tears, feeling hopeless. With my support, she shifted her focus. She began showing up with the intent to uplift and enjoy each other's company. They started reminiscing,  sharing funny, joyful stories over the years instead. They both looked forward to their weekly time together, and I imagine it was good medicine for both of them.

These last three to four weeks, we’ve been without internet on and off. My plans to do masterclasses in October went out the window. I wasn’t able to record my weekly YouTube podcast this last Sunday. In the past I would have made it a big deal.

But what the heck- I’ve decided to believe things are always working out for me anyway. And to make the best of things.Because what is the alternative? It is so much better to stay open, relax, and enjoy life anyway. That's where new ideas flow, I see alternatives, and I am open to the blessings and the best within myself.

Chances are, you’ve got unwanted reality showing up too, given you’re human and living a human existence.

Maybe your unwanted reality is something small and annoying, like a friend that said something you found mean-spirited, or something that cuts deep and feels huge, life-and-death survival issues like a job loss, a diagnosis, or the death of a loved one.

But fighting against it,  pushing, resisting, railing, only works against you. It pulls your focus away from the opportunity, from the good that’s still there to be mined.

And if you do find yourself fighting, welcome to the human race. It’s so normal, so natural. This isn’t meant to guide you to beat up on yourself, but to help you decide to shift your focus — to be willing to go a different way.

I think of a dear friend whose husband has MS and over the years has needed more and more caretaking. It’s been a pleasure to watch her shift and change over the years and see her enjoy her life more than ever.

She’s learned to trust in life, making it less and less conditional. She uses her sense of humor to not make things such a big deal. She’s opened herself up to an incredible amount of help from friends and family- and has discovered she’s able to live fully and have a good life, despite the unwanted reality.

That’s the magic. ✨ The faith, the trust, and the willingness, despite living in a messy real world,  to enjoy the journey anyway and bring forth our creative, playful, joyful selves and let them shine.
