Fear is a Liar


How many times have you been asked a question and you are afraid to answer honestly?  How often are you asked to do something or be involved in something and you say yes or maybe, all well knowing that you don't want to?  How many times have you been approached by someone offering you something and insread of just saying "No Thanks", you just smile and listen?  Why do WE do this?  Yes, I do this often.....well, I used to do this often.  FEAR!  We are afraid to seem harsh, afraid to be honest, afraid to upset someone else, or afraid that someone will get mad at us?

I am a non confrontational person.  I HATE conflict.  I will just smile and say ok before I cause waves.  Or at least that is who I WAS!  I broke free from this FEAR a while ago.  I have realized that it is okay to be honest, to say NO, and to sometimes stand up for ME!  And if the other person gets upset or angry, that is on them.....not me!

I am a (brutally sometimes) honest person.  Whenever I am asked a question I always say "Do you want me to be honest?"  I don't take offense to others being honest and actually fully appreciate it!  Working in an MLM business I hear NO often.........and I am good with that.  The part that confuses me is when someone doesn't give an answer or says yes and doesn't follow through.

So this is just my personal opinion.  If you want to say NO, then say it.  If someone asks you a question, be honest or don't answer.  Do this for YOU and you will bless the other person also.  The only way around FEAR is straight through it.  Strength comes every time you stare down that fear.  Starting here may be a catalyst....it was for me!

If we all agreed on everything then we would be a bunch of robots!  Now, how fun would that be?!

Loving an MLM, seriously?!?!?!

I am the girl who likes to be home, like never leave home, have peace and quiet, and am afraid of people ;)  I have never "sold" anything in my life (before a year ago), and I rarely tell people about things I love because I just assumed they really didn't care. I have always worked from home, but at a "real" business.  The hubs and I own an electrical contracting business and I have always run the home office.  How many hubs get to go home with the secretary 😀 Well, I am the last person I would have ever expected to fall in love with a MLM business.  I am very skepticle of things and like I said....PEOPLE!  But, as I often do, I have surprised myself.  I got started with Young Living as part of a 15 year journey to get some answers and freedom for a hubs that suffered from severe chronic migraines.  Little did I know that this company would radically change our lives! Not only have we tackled the migraines, we have learned as a family and healt...

Camping trip #2 - Kingdom Bound

OKAY, so I took some of your advice on changes to make before embarking on camping trip #2.  So let's chat about how those changes planned out and what I think of camping now. Many of you told me to plan more activities for the kiddos to keep them busy.  That worked pretty well on this trip because it happened to have been a campsite that is attached to an amusement park.  We did morning rides, back to the camper for lunch and naps, out for afternoon rides, then back for supper.  Little kids usually went back to the park for fireworks or more little rides while the bigger girls and I hit up the amazing concerts available! Even though everyone was way over tired and exhausted, everyone seemed pretty happy because they just wanted to keep doing things.  This made life easier for me!  I also made SURE that I did not forget my hormone loving oils and supplements.......HUGE difference that made!  No crazy mom syndrome on this trip!  We were loc...

Sonya Jean

This is a song I wrote for my sister and few years ago.  Here is part of her story that I told in another post:   My sister's story Sonya Jean I wish I had one more day, I wish I had just one more day. If someone had told me that this was the way; I would have wished for just one more day. The good Lord giveth, and He taketh away, I wish I had just one more day. Such short time on Earth, you had to live; And in that time you had so much to give. A mother, sister and a daughter, A spirit filled with fun and laughter. As sickness came to take you away, I held tight to every day. I wish I had one more day, I wish I had just one more day. If someone had told me that this was the way; I would have wished for just one more day. The good Lord giveth, and He taketh away, I wish I had just one more day. So many things I should have said, Sitting there beside your bed. The most important we covered, The day you prayed and Jesus ...
