Letting Go & Taking Hold
I just told my ex-wife that I love her. This is after explaining to her that I want her to talk to me the way that honors who she thinks I can be and not who I was. I got emotional and I could tell she did too, but we said our goodbyes and I feel good about our dynamic. ‘The best things in life are on the other side of a difficult conversation’ I’m celebrating right now that I found the courage the presence of mind, the faith in myself, the curiosity to establish my boundaries, reinforce them, and speak my heart. Why did this conversation feel different from all the others where the results were… less positive? I let go of the outcome. This time, I told myself, ‘I’m saying this, no matter how she responds. I’m doing it for me, not for her.’ So, what about you? Where can you step into a little more courage, a little more clarity? What difficult conversation are you avoiding that’s taking up too much of your energy? The best things in life really are on the other side of a tough conversation. How can I help you get there?

Ian, congratulations on embracing your "brave"! I'm so glad you had the opportunity to express yourself in love - for yourself and your friend (who is also your ex-wife).
Environment: Tuning in to Me
I was pondering a minute ago (shower thought) about why the focus for this community must be self-care. True, intentional, iterative self-care. It is because we have become acclimated to the toxic environments around us. And when I say, toxic environments, it could be an actual geographic place, but more often is a person or grouping or dynamic that is toxic no matter where I am physically. It could be an organization that I work with. And without the brand of self-care that we’re exploring in this community, I can’t know if when I feel icky if it’s me or the situation (a.k.a. Environment). I cannot differentiate the ‘good’ from the ‘bad’ from the ‘worse’ from the ‘worst’ because I am not in tune with myself enough to a) know that I am not the cause of the yuck, or b) know that I am worthy of feeling good and supported and safe All the Time. Always. Example- This will resonate with some of you. I restrict my engagement with my mother. She won’t mean to, but she’ll say something hurtful and send me reeling: activated, anxious, hurt. The time recently that we were driving and I shared that I was getting divorced from my kids’ mother this past spring. My mother without hesitation and having known a lot of the precipitating events shot back, “What did you do?” No. I don’t deserve that. I won’t accept that. And I don’t. I explained as much in a serious and grounded tone (I’d been working on me, so I could find that in the moment). So I see her when I am ready, and that’s how I still have her in my life. Tell me how that sits with you, please. Where do you say ‘yes’ to yourself by saying ‘no’ to an unhealthy environment?

Ian, I totally understand. I have had to stop myself several times from going back to smooth things over after having conversations with two people I love, but who have knowingly crossed the line. I realize that I have prioritized other people's peace over my own, and I cannot do that any longer. One person was/is (jury's still out on that) a girlfriend I haven't spoke to in 3 years; the other is a forever girlfriend (since diapers) who I put distance between us last week and am in no hurry to close the divide. Sometimes we have to do that. For ourselves, our loved ones who live in the house with us (and experience our emotional turmoil firsthand), and for our future selves. You did what you had to do - and continue to do it for YOU!

WELCOME, BIENVENIDOS & ALL THAT!
Good morning ☀️ I am Lynita Mitchell-Blackwell. Soul healing from trying to live a perfect life inspired by well intentioned beings, now focused on living an excellent life full of grace, peace, and joy. I enjoy helping people birth their personal and professional dreams (hence a moniker that stuck - Midwife of Dreams). I also enjoy placing my life’s pearls (good, bad, and all the in between) on my life line for review knowing it’s all “for me” and not happening “to me”. I am raising (and sometimes being raised) an incredible star seed child who has blessed me from the moment I knew she was on the way. I cherish our time together before she goes to college next year. I support myself as a lawyer, business coach, and speaker. It is my pleasure to meet you!
