The thing is in my circle in MLM / NWM is "they" don't talk much about the grief, the shame we sometimes can carry. Personally my nwm opportunity 7 years ago was the answer to prayers of "how can I care take my Mom & Dad (Dad suddenly lost his vision & became blind at 71 & Mom was losing her mind to Dementia)" .. their care needs & seemingly endless dr apt's didn't leave time for a "job". I still had bills to pay & groceries to buy .. I was so grateful!! I worked my tail off, I crossed stage, I earned the company trips... Fast forward, my parents health deteriorated to the point they needed full time care & nursing. & My husband & I began to "live wider" again, explore that hope of freedom 55 that is now freedom 60 as those years with my mom & dad .. I am so glad I could "be there for them" .. & I've discovered months & months ago that my nwm wasn't fitting as it did.. Or maybe I've changed, we travel more, we're surrounded with family & grand babies underfoot .. I don't want to have my phone in my hand & eyes glued to my computer screen, I want THEIR hands in mine, my husbands, my suitcases.. not endlessly in my DM's .. I still battle a bit with shame, that people pleaser & self judgment of " I'm a vile betrayer" adding this to my "income buckets", cheating on my MLM .. & writing about it in a weird way is healing for me. If you've ever felt that way, just know YOU (just like me) are Smart Savvy Business woman .. We make good decisions for good reasons. Years have gone buy, seasons changed, social media has changed, we've changed .. therefore might not our goals, dreams & hopes too? Give grace. Breath. No shame, no blame, just claim where we are and rise again .. cheers, Rox
