I’m Good, Love...

April 2019 Audacious Purpose Take Action Letter

On a hot summer Monday, a baby girl was born to a wife whose husband was serving the country that he migrated to in an undeclared war “against communism”. She dealt with the side glances and whispers of the people who wondered if her husband was the father of “this one, too”. Her second child in less than two years.

To quiet the chatter and quell all doubts, I was born as chocolate brown as my daddy with his features and my mother’s mouth. Opinionated and vocal from the beginning of my life.

I grew up in a two parent home with lots of extended family around. I am equally logical and emotional. I was prone to fits of anger that I don’t think my parents knew about. I am confident, pretty and smart. My family reinforced this belief.  I wanted for nothing, not spoiled, but well cared for.

I learned to speak words of affirmation to myself as a young girl before I knew that there was such a term. This practice has sustained me in good and bad times.

I met my (ex) husband in HS. I honestly don’t remember if I was actually dating someone else or if my boyfriend at the time and I were on a break when I first met P.  Like most people, I didn’t dwell on my “faults” back then. When I found out that P had a girlfriend, I ended our dating but remained friendly.  I do know that once I was committed to him, I was fully committed.

We married fairly young. The wedding occurred in the year that I should have graduated from college had it taken me the traditional four years, instead of 12 to get my degree. We had two children during our marriage. He also had one with someone else during our marriage. Though it took me years to decide to end my marriage, I was more sure of my decision to divorce than I was of my decision to marry. I do not regret either.

I have learned that if I don’t actively participate in my life and tell my story, someone else will make me a character in theirs. I’m telling my stories and actively creating my scripts. As women, we wear many hats: mother, sister, friend, daughter, wife, girlfriend, lover, owner, employee, mentor, manager, colleague, soror, landlord, coach… It is important to realize that each one of these roles contribute to our story, but no one on its own can tell our story in its entirety. Creating the balance between them is essential in being ME.

When I decided to become a coach, I was looking for a way to capitalize on my gift of helping people to organize their ideas into actionable steps to reach their desired goal. Over time I’ve realized that women, especially those with families, rarely allow ourselves that space to think, plan, and do. We are often on autopilot.

I’ve learned to take the breaks required for me to see it, say it and do it. Do I have everything that I want? No. Do I have everything that I need? Yes, because I have God’s grace. We all go through trials and triumphs. Hopefully we learn and grow through it all.

I’m good, Love and I’m enjoying this stage of my life.

Action: Are you actively writing your stories or playing a character in someone else’s plot? It’s your life to live. Be present, make plans, take action. Be intentional.

As always, I am here to help you maintain balance and regain power as you navigate life's transitions. Contact me to set up an appointment to discuss.

Change - Audacious Purpose - Take Action Letter

August 2018

by Mia Y. Pollard

Depending on where you live in the world, the month of August signals preparing for change, the beginning of change or straight up change. Parents and students are getting ready for a new school year. College students are embarking on a new semester and renewed freedom away from home and curfews. They will return home with new ideas, new beliefs and new attitudes. Corporations are beginning their business forecasting for the coming year. Once their forecasting is completed, there will be new directions, new jobs and some people without jobs. If you’re like me you’ve accepted that your summer body is what it is and begin to implement some changes for your fall and winter body.

Heraclitus said, “Change is the only thing constant in life.”  We have an influence over the changes that occur in our lives. It begins with our thoughts (vision), continues with our planning (saying) and is executed in our action (doing.)

No change can occur without these three: See it! Say it! Do it!

Like the college student starting a new semester:

Be open to learning something new about yourself and the world.

Like a corporation’s forecasting session:

Assess what is working, what isn’t working, what can remain the same, what can be improved and create a plan to accordingly.

What do you want to change?

What are you willing to do to implement the change?

When do you want to begin?

How do you expect to feel once the change is complete?

Who can assist you in making the change?

Much of the awareness of racial injustices that we are experiencing are what I believe to be the catalyst for major change. People are awake to injustice and tired of the few loud cowards. People are united in wanting to see positive change. This has been an ongoing battle, but I believe the end is near. The struggle is often hardest when you are close to the end of the battle. Every evil heart will not change, but they will be exposed and love and unity will win.

Change is often met with resistance from people who

1. Don’t like what you’re doing

2. Don’t understand what you’re doing

3. Are insecure with what you’re doing

Or

4. Are just plain afraid of change.

Change anyway! It is inevitable. We are made to learn, grow and  evolve.

Praising and Planning - Take Action Letter - July 2018

by Mia Y. Pollard

July is my birth month.  Usually, I have activities planned throughout the month celebrating me.  This year is a little different. I am celebrating me in a different way. There is no party or group get together planned. I will have my beach day and gather with family and friends. But, this year I am mostly focused on planning for my future. While I’m not reliant upon a date on a calendar to take stock of my life, the anniversary of my birth is a great reminder to be still, reflect, review, plan and execute.

When was the last time you did the same? Do you wait for New Year’s Eve? Your birthday? A life changing event? Do you review every 3-6 months?

How far back do you reflect?

How far into your future do you envision?

Do you take pen to paper or fingers to phone or use your PC? Do you do it all mentally? Do you not plan or reflect at all?

Part of my reflection and preparation require me to be still. I read the Bible, pray, meditate and praise, daily. However there is something to be said for taking the time to be more focused. There is a level of clarity that accompanies focused reflection. Deciding in advance to set time aside without distraction and interruption to plan and create can be challenging in our daily lives. But just as you can sit in a play or at the movies with you phone on silent, you owe it to yourself to spend some time immersed and communing with God, showing him that you are thankful for who you are, who surrounds you and what you are blessed with; inviting Him to guide you to your next steps.

I invite you to set some time aside during the long summer days and nights to praise and plan, then get to work.

As always, I am here to help you live your Audacious Purpose.

The Kids are OK

Audacious Purpose - March 2019 - Take Action Letter

One of my best friends had his first child at age 50. Like most new parents, he expressed concerns about getting parenting right. I did my best to listen to him, validate his feelings and offer him words of encouragement. Then, I hit him with reality. No matter how amazing you are as a person and a parent, you are going to mess your kid up in some way. You will fall short in your parenting. The goal is to support their development, do the most good and the least damage.

We have a vision for our kids lives and God has a plan. These two rarely are the same and this is where parenting gets tricky. Releasing what we think that the kids should be for whom they really are is our responsibility as parents.  

I always wanted my children to have two active parents, preferably in the same home. When I decided to separate, I was left to tell my children on my own. Arthur was 11. Nia was 4. While Arthur and I were crying, Nia, ever wise, said, “Mom,I know that you will miss your husband. (Arthur) I know that you will miss your dad. But we will be OK.” Well if she knew that she would be OK and had the sense of self to console us, I would take her word for it.

My children had to adjust to a new housing dynamic and new routines. Such as visiting their dad, rather than living with him. They had to deal with feelings of missing him, loss, resentment, and incomprehension of adult dynamics. They had to accept decisions being made that affected their lives, but that they had no say in.

I never wanted my children to have to choose sides or feel that if they love me they couldn’t love their dad or vice versa. But that doesn’t mean that I painted a Kumbaya picture of our separation and subsequent divorce. If I said anything ill about P when Nia was around, (even if it was true), she would say, “Mom, I don’t like when you say stuff about my dad.” My response the first few times was along the lines of “if he stops acting like an asshole, I won’t have to sAy StUfF aBoUt YoUr DaD!” Eventually, I evolved and respected her feelings and wise counsel. If it was bothering her, I would be mindful of what I said about their father and what I allowed others to say in their presence.

As you may guess, Nia is the more vocal of my two children and will check me and call me on my BS. Arthur is more diplomatic.

Aside from the divorce, there were many opportunities to get parenting right. One was supporting Arthur’s desire to play football at age 8. It is a game that he still loves to this day and now coaches. Another was allowing him to choose the path of his education, but making sure backup plans were in place and proudly cheering at his high school, college and graduate school graduations.

Supporting Nia in her education and her desire to go out of state for high school and college, even though tuition in NY is free, was an opportunity for me to give her the space she that needs to blossom. And blossoming she is. She has maintained a high GPA, an active social life and is a leader and contributor in her professional fraternity.

Learning what each of my children need from me, as their mother, is an ever-evolving project. They both call me to share what’s going on and to get my input on decisions. I text with them both almost daily. We gab about work, school, dating, family, friends, and the future. Somedays, I’m ears; other days I am a voice. Somedays, I am the goofy friend; others I am the judgemental mom. Sometimes I need ears. Sometimes “I’m the momma!”

Because I am opinionated, I have missed chances for my children to share some everyday moments and transformative moments in their lives. I am working on understanding that Arthur is an adult with his own set of responsibilities and that Nia is almost an adult with her own full college life.

I understand that I am their mother, who should be a constant source of support, prayers, love, laughter, memes and wise words. I understand that no matter what, I am the vessel that God chose to bring them through but He has His Hand in every aspect of their lives. In all of this, the kids are OK!

Action: Make a list of at least five ways that you are getting parenting right and the kids are OK. Not a parent? List five ways that your parents got it right and you are OK!

As always, I am here to help you maintain balance and regain power as you navigate life's transitions. Contact me to set up an appointment to discuss.

Control - December 2017 Take Action Letter

It has been nine months since my last Take Action Letter. That is almost enough time for a new human life to develop. While, I did not give birth, I have gotten used to my new responsibilities, old duties and made ample time for self-care. I really didn’t realize that is had been so long since I’ve formally shared my thoughts with you via this forum.  I actually considered not continuing these communications. Then I realized that these letters are as much for me, as they are for you.  My gift is in my voice.  My voice makes a difference in the world. My goal is to share a quick read with you, that triggers thought and action to help you to maintain balance and regain power while you develop and live your Audacious Purpose.

We sometimes try to control things that don’t need our input in order to flow. God is in control.  While we need to be aware and take action in our life; the vast majority of happenings around us flow without our direct input. The sun will rise. The moon will rise. Our bodies will generally function as intended.

I spoke with someone who uses deep breathing as a method of relaxation, calming and to help her fall asleep. Once, as she was dozing off she had a startling thought, “What if I forget to breathe while I’m sleeping?” Immediately she realized how unnecessary the thought was. Her body has been instinctively handling her breathing alllllllll of her life without any required input from her. The deep breaths were for her benefit, not a physical requirement for her survival. She remembered that while deep breathing was in her control, her NEXT breath was not. She could rest assured that her next breath would come without her need to will it to do so. She could sleep peacefully; surrendering and knowing that God is in control.

What are some things that you are trying to control that you really have no control over?

What do you need to release so that you can redirect your energy to address the things that you can control?

How would it feel to surrender to the reality, instead of fighting the inevitable, knowing that you are supported once you make a decision?

Begin Again March 2017 - Begin Again

Every year for Lent I give up cursing.  Every year for Lent I curse at some point during the season. When I went on a road rage tirade on the North Conduit on the Thursday after Ash Wednesday, I decided that I was not going to make it through the next 40+ days so I might as well give up and cuss all I want. God knows my mouth and loves me anyway.  I happily cussed my way through the next two days.

I woke up Sunday morning thinking about the sacrifice of Jesus. I know that I am saved by His grace and not by my actions, but I can show gratitude by making this sacrifice. I decided to Begin Again. And when I fail, I will pause and pray and ask for forgiveness.

I’ve also been on a journey to eating better. When I eat something that is not so healthy, I don't say, “Well I might as well keep on eating crap.” I realize that I can Begin Again. For the next meal or snack I choose better, knowing that each decision gets me closer to my goal. I also remember that this is a journey and not a quick fix.

As we aim to make improvements in our lives, we are going to do well. We are going to breeze through some portions. We are going to shine. We are going to fall short. We are going to fail. We are going to need to forgive ourselves and Begin Again. Remembering this, keep moving forward towards your Audacious Purpose. Best, Mia Y.
