I continue to naturally lead with the positive, to choose joy, to see the best in situations, circumstances, and people. And recently, I was reminded by the universe that it is okay to take up more space. To want the more that I know is coming, sooner.

Holy wow. Great, but I need an actual how to deal with the situation when someone is coming at me from all sides with their own immersed crabbiness. Then, I realized This:
There is nothing for me to fix.
Boom. That’s actually very freeing. And I thought I had enough to sit with, until I experienced this scenario:
Have you ever actually been the one coming at another, with all of your immersed joy and excitement about A Thing? And their response is to rain on your parade, to throw shade on your sunshine?
Yeah. Unlike the first scenario, I didn’t actually see this one coming. But the good news is that I still get to choose my response (even if I have to recover a bit, first). And I am now beginning to understand This:
