Unexpected Expectations

I've learned to have no expectations in order to protect my heart, mind and soul. The crazy thing is before I adopted this armour of protection I had soooo many expectations. I contribute alot of my hurt and pain to being let down by others...including myself. Now I just go with the flow of whatever and whatever happens happens. It may sound cold but it's my coping mechanism. What's your coping mechanism for life's battles? Is it shutting down? Not talking to other people? Taking some time for yourself?

My main concern is protecting my heart. Sometimes we put ourselves out there in order to "find" what we're looking for when in reality we already have it. It's not in another person and it's not in things. I've tried to fill my subliminal void with dates, sex, drugs, alcohol or just anything to take me away from the reality of life. When all I had to do was look in the mirror to see myself. I am enough! You are enough!

Society has programmed many of us to believe that we need more but we don't. We just want it because it's "what's right" according to societal standards. What's right seemed by the world isn't always what's right for individual people. I had to come to terms with not being ok with just wanting to have someone with me. Feeling insecure in the aspect of being lonely and even alone at times. It definitely gets old, but at the same time I'm tired of compromising myself for others in order to feel needed or wanted.

I realized I'm still in my healing process. Just when you think you're all ready to get on with life, life reminds you that you haven't done all the work necessary to get to where you want to be. And guess what??...that's ok because we are continually evolving as we take this quiz called life.

I recently was awakened out of my sleep by the universe with S.H.E.E. (Sisters Healing, Evolving & Empowered). I wanted to sleep so badly but when the universe calls, you listen. So what did I do, pop my butt right up and created that Facebook group because it needed to happen. It was gifted to me in order to help others heal. I need this group just as much as everyone else.

Lastly, the Empowerment Event was FANTASTIC! It was powerful, intimate and life changing. It was everything I could've ever wanted. The people that needed to be in the room were in the room for a purpose. They didn't know what they signed up for! Many are already vowing for next year and I'm cleansing my soul in order to make it happen again. That's some heavy loads we carry and as the coordinator, I carry mine and theirs so you got to be ready!

Thank you to everyone who participated near and far. It was truly a blessing! Remember to expect nothing in return and you'll never be disappointed!
