I didn’t see the text that came in at 7:11 this morning from my friend Kim because I was asleep.  Not that that is unusual for many but for me, a mother of 3 toddlers, it is.  I was asleep because setting up this blog while having 3 toddlers means I do it when they go to bed and therefore I don’t.  Not as of now anyway, I’m learning just how steep this learning curve actually is.  But this morning my husband was home and the kids were all good (I’m assuming as I still have all 3 of them!) and I got some much needed rest.

My friend however didn’t get much rest and needed to talk, so I felt awful when it was 1 pm before I even looked at my phone.  Those 6 hours were probably torture but when we finally did talk it was a good one, for both of us.  You see, she needed to be heard by someone and as it turns out, so did I.

I confessed to her how I slipped up this week, I wasn’t quite as happy as I wanted to be and that I saw the little things around me reminding me of it.  My juju was off to say the least.  I couldn’t get my oldest to go to bed or go to pre-school without major drama, my husband and I were not on the same page and the feeling inside of me that knows things are good, wasn’t present.  Until I received her email yesterday, before I told her I was having a rough week.  She sent me the finale of the Oprah show because she said it reminded her of what I was doing.  I don’t know how the Oprah finale never made it into my radar but I’m guessing their names are Sebastian, Oliver and Sawyer.  And when I watched it, there was a piece of information I knew but had simply forgotten and just like that I knew how to turn it all back around.  “Be responsible for the energy you bring into this space.”

Long story short, what you give is what you get.  And tonight my friends gave me this. And it made me very very happy.

"Please take responsibility for the energy you bring into this space."

“Please take responsibility for the energy you bring into this space.”

So, not only was it Kim who unknowingly got me past being stumped on what to post today.  but she also saved me from missing my goal of two posts a day.  With 30 minutes to spare.
