It’s been a year, hasn’t it?
In the middle of an upside-down year, life turned upside down. I found myself filing for divorce 7 days before my 1 year anniversary. The details are too sad and too personal to share. Plus, they aren’t entirely mine and so, I will keep them quietly laid to rest in the annals of my heart.
But suffice it to say, this wasn’t the way I saw this story ending. Yet here I am, making therapy appointments, and navigating some medium between hibernating and healing. Trying to make sense of the mess that is 2020.
And I keep thinking about this conversation I had nearly 1 year ago. A few weeks before our wedding.
I was sitting on my then-fiance’s lap. Tucked in like a toddler, arms hanging from his neck. Lips just inches away. Deeply, deeply in love. The kind of giddy that makes you gooey. I melted into him every morning, gave him my attention, my future, my everything. And on this particular morning, I was handing over hopes that we could turn what had been a tumultuous move-in-together into a stable everyday existence. “I need 100 good days,” I said.
He tried. We tried. There were lots and lots of good moments, but we never could quite make it to 100.
And soon, I was tapped out and tired. Then 2020 hit and everything failed. And I struggle now to see exactly which line swept the boundary and threw it all away. But somewhere between a fast fall-in-love and a global pandemic and an endless quarantine, everything in the world turned upsidedown. I got shaken up, shaken out. Emptied and frazzled and stuck in the nothingness of what-the-hell-is-this-weird-new-life.
My kids got it too, a bit. School cancelled. Friends cancelled. Scheduled cancelled. Fresh air cancelled. We all fell a bit into a frozen reverie. A house full of Sleeping Beauties or Snow Whites, waiting for something to come kiss us awake.
Well, I’m done waiting for a kiss to save me.
Time to stop waiting for the world to “right” itself.
Time for ME to make a few changes and go all ‘Man in the Mirror’ on this year.
Time to add just 3 easy GOOD gifts to each of the next 100 days…
When you’re stuck, it’s up to you to free yourself and move forward.
When you need momentum, it’s you who must be ready and willing to just.start.moving.
So here we go, let us move.
If you’ve been feeling lost inside this year. Welcome, my darling, me too.
So for the next 100 days, we are going to give ourselves Good Days.
This is not a shame-based high-vibe attempt to kickstart quasi-self-care with girlboss lingo. No, this is a loving path into an unknown tomorrow. A way to refind yourself and rediscover your voice inside of this whirlwind. A pretty journal for daily thinkings (or drawings). And…something to get re-ignited 0ver. A passion project. Just for you, by you. Done in 100 days.
If you are in desperate need of direction. In need of a gentle guide. If you want to wake up tomorrow and know where to tenderly place your tiptoe, please come & join me in the 100 Good Days Project.
I’ve created a simple, splendid, gorgeous project packet (which you can download for FREE). Where you won’t just set your feet toward purpose, you will actually use the next 100 days to kick off some delicious purpose. Everyday you’ll wake up with 3 things GOOD things to do.
Added bonus: you’ll be surrounded by HUNDREDS of other “Goodies” who have joined this projects, too…
