Story Time! Last night at dusk I went out to lock up the coop as I usually do. It's a simple matter of releasing the string that holds the door open and allowing it to slide down the track and secure the opening. Unfortunately things did not go as planned and the door was completely off the track. So off I went in search of cardboard and a lantern. In order to reach the door from the inside where I would have to be in order to put it back on the track I had to go under the roosting bars. I'll let you use your imagination as to what is under the roosting bars. I really didn't want to crawl through that thus the cardboard. It took me a few minutes but I got in there and I got the door back on the track and closed, then I corralled the hens that escaped into the garden and got them safely in the coop. After that I came inside, scrubbed myself clean, tossed my clothes in the washer and poured myself a glass of wine. Job well done and that should have been the end of it but of course it wasn't. This morning I headed outside to do the chores, pulled the string to open the coop and it snapped. After opening the door manually and getting the animal feeding out of the way I headed back out to the coop to restring the door. That required the cardboard, scissors, better string, and a ladder because part of the string was behind straw bales stacked over my head. So there I was laying over a hay bale, six feet in the air, toes precariously braced against a none too steady ladder, threading string through a tiny hole in the wall that I could barely reach, whilst reevaluating my life choices. Did I mention the spiders? Anyway, it is done. It is working, and all the tools have been put away. Sadly it's far too early for wine. All this for the love of chickens. Honestly I don't regret a thing, they're worth it. I hope you all get a laugh out of my adventures, goodness knows I do. #poverty_hill #homestead #homesteading #homesteadersofinstagram #chickens #backyardflock #crazychickenlady #stayathomechickenmom #chickentender #cooprepair #diy #figuringitoutasigo #farmher #lovemychickens #ruralpa #countryliving #simplelife #slowliving #myhappyplace #myhappylife (at Pennsylvania) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTuVYY6r_8K/?utm_medium=tumblr

Funerals and Self-care

Morning, 

A woman that I worked with the past 5 years has passed away from a long battle with cancer. She was such a bright spot in our school when it came to our student and family interactions, especially since she had been there for so long (since the school opened...I think). 

All that being said, I’ve decided to not attend her funeral services this morning. Funerals have always been hard for me and the last few I’ve attended have just really hit me. I attended my best friend’s mom’s funeral a few years ago and my aunt’s just about a year and a half ago. I am so thankful for this woman I worked with at school, but I don’t think I have the emotional energy to go. 

Emotional energy to go and talk to my co-workers, and make small talk, and grieve with everyone, I just don’t think I can. 

So here I am again, choosing myself, It feels really fucking selfish right now, honestly. It feels like I’m just being lazy and don’t want to go. Which is partially true, I don’t want to go. But there is more to it than that, I don’t want to keep up the appearances with my co-workers. The summer is my time to be completely myself, not my teacher-self, or colleague-self; just myself. 

So I’m not going to the services, but I did take some time today to really think about Ms. J and her huge impact on my school community. 

Thank you Ms. J for all the kids you have encouraged and supported over the years, and the teachers and staff you’ve welcomed into your heart. Thank you for being a constant joyful face and person to interact with at school and other functions. Thank you for being a great model for so many others of what a good Christian can look like. Thank you for all your service, time, hard work, love, and compassion. Thank you for being apart of my life and teaching career, and thank you for all the kind, sweet interactions we have had. That is how I will remember you, being the person who can light up a room with your joy and love of life. Rest in peace, our school community with miss you and think of you often. 

Self-care is hard y’all. I need to recognize that I can grieve and remember people in my own way. I need to remember that doing things differently is not always a bad thing. It’s ok to go against the grain/norm. I need to do that for myself and my own life. I need to live life in the best way for me. I honestly have no idea what that even means, but I’m searching for it. 

Hopefully I get a little closer each day. 

<3

DIY update: 🤗 It's been almost one week of using my DIY Ayurvedic infused hair oil mixture and my DIY Flaxseed plus JBCO & Aloe Vera hair gel! #LovingThemBoth 💖 But, here's what I'm #CHANGING 😉 though .., I am not going to add Aloe Vera powder to my next batch of Flaxseed gel, because I already spray my hair with Aloe Vera juice after washing it, so it's not necessary to add Aloe Vera powder to the Flaxseed gel. #OneLessStep 🍃🌸 Happy almost Friday!! 🙌🏽 Fully air-dried wash & go! #LivingTheSimpleLife #FiguringItOutAsIGo

Tell me and I forget, teach me and I may remember, involve me and I learn. One of the biggest lessons I am learning in this #entrepreneur game is that, no one got to where they are alone. The most successful in #LIFE and #Business did so by watching, listening.... and I am still figuring the rest out lol. But I know I for damn sure paying more attention and studying to those to build for myself. #BuildABlocks _____________________________________ #podcast #SayWHA #SayWHARadio _____________________________________ • • • • • #business #startup #entrepreneurship #success #startuplife #bossbabe #marketing #entrepreneurs #businesswoman #entrepreneurlife #money #LifeLessons #Adulting #Relatable #RelatableQuotes #Growth #Perspective #GrowthMindset #FiguringItOutAsIGo — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/300pgds

Did you know I started My Big Story podcast after I was laid off from a corporate job? Since I wasn't truly happy living that life anymore, it wasn't the end of the world. But at the time I felt very lost and thought, now what? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So I started a podcast to find people that had it figured it, because I NEEDED inspiration and ideas to do something I loved. Honestly, I didn't know where I was headed exactly. But eventually my show evolved as I started to match up all that I learned with the things that made me different, and I finally realized how I could help others. It's funny to reflect now, I found my 'now what' by investigating the now what of others. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ➡️ There's an important lesson in what I learned: It's okay to discover our 'now what' as we go. But we have to stay open and sometimes try something new. Then we'll uncover how we can use our talents along with the things that make use who we are. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I'm here to celebrate the things that make us different, and remind you to be yourself in all that you do. And now, I am grateful I was laid off on that stressful August morning. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Who's still figuring out their 'now what?' ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #figuringitoutasigo #itsokaytobeyou https://chrstphrswn.co/2XpZw9w

Basically, I chose not to identify with being broke any longer. I realized I deserved a beautiful life, and abundance was something that I needed to welcome into my life. Doesn't mean it happened right then and there lol but I began to see how wealthy I was in many other aspects of my life. _____________________________________ #podcast #SayWHA #SayWHARadio _____________________________________ • • • • • #entrepreneur #business #startup #entrepreneurship #success #startuplife #businessman #marketing #entrepreneurs #businesswoman #entrepreneurlife #money #LifeLessons #Adulting #Relatable #RelatableQuotes #Growth #Perspective #GrowthMindset #FiguringItOutAsIGo — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/2OAA0Op
