Inspire to be!

It’s been on my mind for a long time, constantly there…lingering, knocking, persisting, never letting up. I would try and push it aside telling myself that I couldn’t do it, that I’m not smart/knowledgeable/cool/old enough, that I wasn’t the right person. But it was persistent pushing even harder against my heart telling me I should, that I must! Eventually I knew I would have to give in. One night I wept. Wept my tears of fear and soaked Mister’s shoulder, he had no idea what was going on. I was sobbing so hard I could hardly formulate a sentence beyond “I just..” sob “I don’t know if….” sob “I want to but…” sob. He eventually pulled me back and said “I believe in you, that you can succeed in anything you put your mind to, but you just have to do it”. Even after crying about it I still didn’t even know if I had the courage to really pursue it.

This past weekend while lying in the snow and staring at the winter wonderland that God created, I knew, I could and I would! Without sobbing this time, I told Adam and formulated an actual sentence, actually, more like a monologue, and told him my dreams and what I wanted to do! And once again he smiled and said “I believe you can do it, you have it in you and I think it’s a great idea, you just have to do it”!

So hear I am, putting it out there and putting all my fears aside and going for it!

I’d like to meet up with 4-5 women (any age) who have been possibly thinking of starting something new (whether its a business, a hobby, a lifestyle change…anything!) and would like to meet up once every two weeks to talk, encourage each other, and inspire to be. Be greater, to be who we were created to be, to be the best version of ourselves!

I’m scared that this is going to fall flat on it’s face, but I’d rather say I tried then just hide it inside and not do anything at all. So, if you’re interested, send me an email and let me know what you’re thinking of doing and which days/evenings you’re free and I’ll set something up for us all to meet within the next two weeks!

    Great idea Lesley! Someone recently told me that there is scientific evidence that women get the same positive chemical reaction going on in their bodies from talking to other women as they do from eating chocolate. Who knew!

    Lesley, I am so into your idea, there is nothing better than peer mentoring and encouragement. Also knocking ideas around with different people can really help solidify a tiny thought into a great idea. You can count me in if you are still looking for someone. 😀
