I quit all the Sunday "doing" cold turkey by doing this one thing.
Friday came and went.
I didn't change the sheets on the bed.
Oops.
Maybe it's because my husband was away all week and it's been a Robyn week all week long.
Or maybe it's because I've been busy purging and shedding and reveling in being single wishing I had another week solo to continue my mission.
Either way.
The sheets are dirty.
And I'm three days behind.
But… on my Sunday drive this morning a piece of myself I have...
LET ME BE VERY CLEAR ...
WE THINK WE HAVE SERIOUS PROBLEMS. BUT WHAT HAVE IS ONE SIMPLE SOLUTION NO ONE IS TAPPING INTO BECAUSE WE DON’T HAVE THE GOLD BALLS TO RIP THE DUCT TAPE OFF ALL OUR DISCLAIMERS.
I DO NOT COME WITH ONE.
READ ON.
COMMUNICATION IS NOT A LUXURY.
Brave communication isn’t revolutionary.
It’s daily nourishment.
The world doesn’t need louder voices.
It needs truer ones.
Ones willing to step on the eggshells. Pummel them.
Barefoot.

Everybody’s walking on eggshells...
I bought sunflower seeds for 74 cents two months ago
They came with easy no-kill-anyone-can-do-this directions
firmly telling me I had a limited amount of time to plant the seeds
how deep the hole in the soil needed to beÂ
how often to waterÂ
and when I should expect them to bloomÂ
75-90 days
was all it would take
except they sat on my kitchen counter for 2 months
which set me back 60 days
adding unnecessary delay to the beauty I initially invested inÂ
Â
when I finally planted them o...
For the person waiting on...
The right time
More money
A proposal
Kids to go back to school
Kids to go to college
A better job
A medical test
For someone to come back home
For someone to apologize
For someone to approve
For someone else to make the first move...
YOU are really just waiting on YOU.
A few years ago, I told this to a coach of mine- that I was waiting on something to happen before I...
That I needed THE WAIT to be over and HAVE what I was waiting for so I could be more...
I remember when I couldn't say his name.
Uttering the word just seemed odd
made it weird
and unreal
Like he was just some made up monster talked about by evangelical preachers screaming about fire and brimstone and snakes
Then I heard the word EnemyÂ
so many times,
I thought,Â
Well...
Ain’t that BS.
The word Enemy just didn't seem strong enoughÂ
for the war waging in my head
So
Devil
it was.
Seems like a battle worthy name after all
He is hard
And stubborn
And loud and incessant
Like A big ole bully twice fa...
I hate rules.Â
I am the FIRST to say let’s break them. Find a way around them.Â
BUT, in all my breakingÂ
I’ve made some messesÂ
and in those messes, I started noticing patterns and reoccurring Oops episodes that eventually I knew I needed to interrupt.Â
So rather than follow someone else’s rules, I started making up my own and compiling a list of the repeated practices that I’ve learned the hard way.Â
They help me keep going.Â
They help me not quit.Â
They help m...
