I'm Back!

Some of you have been asking why I haven’t been posting to the We All Shine Facebook page anymore, so I thought I would share a bit of my internal struggle over the last little while.

When life got a bit hectic a few years back, I found it harder to keep up with creating posts for We All Shine’s Facebook page. When I started creating quotes and posts for We All Shine, I intended to post daily with the vision of helping people grow in a positive way and therefore changing the world. Big shoes to fill, right?!

Between 2 small children, and well…just life, I quickly found posting daily to be daunting. Each morning I would wrestle with which quote or tip to share to make the most significant impact. The perfectionist in me would often never be satisfied...but that’s for another blog. Here I was trying to help others feel good, reduce stress, and make positive changes in their lives, but I was beginning to feel overwhelmed. The guilt I was feeling about being missing in action wasn’t helping things either. I felt as if I was letting people down. After a few weeks of this, I finally gave myself permission to take a break…and be okay with it. That was the freeing part!

As I let go, the huge self-imposed weight was lifted from me. At the time, I didn’t know when I would start up again or if I ever would, but that was okay. So often we do things because we think we should. Perhaps you have heard the saying, “Stop shoulding yourself”. I decided to do what I needed to do for me instead of what I felt I should do and that was the best decision I could have made.

My new approach will be to post when I can, and more importantly when it feels right. I feel that my words, insights, and tips will be received best when they come from a place of love and service and not one of obligation. Some days I may have lots to share, while other times you may not hear from me for a while. I want to give you my best, which can only happen when I am working from my heart.

We all shine! Share the light!
