For me, that means no more get-up-go-to-work-come-home-watch-tv-go-to-bed-get-up-go-to-work, ad infinitum.<br /><br />I'm heading to China in April -- a trip I've been talking myself out of for 2 years, but one I KNOW I need to take to bring my business to the next level. I'm operating WAAAAY outside my comfort zone with this one, but for me, 2017 is the year I say "YES" -- no more maybe later's, what if's and no more regrets.<br /><br />Wish me luck . . . .LolaBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15194728722740441771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8564993811758796530.post-20802894842496187522017-01-18T00:59:22.783-05:002017-01-18T00:59:22.783-05:00For the first time, I decided to pick my word for ...For the first time, I decided to pick my word for the year. The word purge kept coming up in my thoughts. So, on January 3rd, I made it my word. I am going to go through everything and if something (or someone) doesn't bring me joy, it is gone. Life is just too short to be bogged down by things or people that really don't matter. Excellent post!

Through that process we end up feeling more alone since "everybody else" has it all together. I had similar situation, and have come out the other side knowing what is really important to me, appreciating what I am involved with, and thanking the Lord I'm here to do it. Praying for you and your family. May you know the Lord in a much deeper and more peaceful way.

Your honesty and courage is both humbling and empowering to a person who sees so much of herself in the struggles you have just put out there for me and the rest of your followers to relate to in "real life" time! I will pray for you as this new journey begins and you slay it just like you do a ORC!!

As I find my...Paige, this post really speaks to me. As I find myself being more and more consumed with "things" I simultaneously am hearing a voice within me that is saying "enough already!" The world of Instagram is wreaking havoc on my wallet as it has made it far too easy to instantly purchase whatever I feel I need to keep up with the imaginary Joneses. The constant stream of "perfect" has created a false reality of what will truly bring me happiness. I am entering this year with drawers and a house too full as well. I have decided to focus on making changes within my realm to bring it back to what is TRULY important: my family, close friends and health. I do not anticipate these changes to be easy, but necessary.

In a span of three days, I lost almost all of it. My husband was arrested and sent to federal prison for three years, I realized my marriage needed A LOT of work, we lost our house, and we became hated by the community we lived in. I realized God was telling me that the life I was living was not in HIS favor and it was time for things to change. I purged people and things out of my life. I refocused on the importance of my family and my children, and the fact that stuff is just stuff and I can live without it. I know you are strong enough to make the changes you need to. There will be days when it's so hard to do, and probably some tears along the way, but don't stop! You will be so happy in the end!!! Much love as you embark on this journey!!!<br />Julia from SC<br />kitchejl@yahoo.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8564993811758796530.post-66448561007920055162017-01-17T10:30:12.336-05:002017-01-17T10:30:12.336-05:00Paige, I could have written this post!
