How to survive the season of stuck

 For some of us freedom is a luxury and the season of stuck basically sucks. 

We feel trapped, suffocated and heavy. 

It's hard to be in a season you can't see the way out of but know that this too will change in time. 

Knowing that some day things will get better is great but what if the thing you're going through doesn't get better. 

What if this season of stuck has quietly become your normal? 

How do you survive when you really do have no way out ? 

1. Decide to engineer an escape plan even if like me it's going to take a decade! You need to decide that you will get out of this even if it's a slow process. 

The second you give your brain an engineered escape plan that sees you alive and thriving, you will suddenly go from stuck to seasonal again. 

You can work with this painfully slow season, but you can't work with it if you don't have a plan to get up or out of your situation. 

Again my own plan sees me waiting a decade to make it happen. 

It helps to know I've got a plan. 

2. Decide you won't die here. 

I don't just mean not committing suicide I mean not letting yourself quietly get eroded. 

The biggest challenge in a stuck season is not loosing yourself  in the grief and pain of it all.

3. Know that by it's very nature life is about change. 

I hope these tips help. 

See you next time, 

Stay savvy sweetie.

Transforming Your Wardrobe for Joy: A Journey to a Happier You

 Transforming Your Wardrobe for Joy: A Journey to a Happier You Clothing is more than just fabric that covers our bodies; it’s a powerful tool for self-expression, confidence, and joy. The clothes we wear can significantly impact our mood and how we interact with the world. If you find yourself standing in front of a closet full of clothes yet feeling like you have nothing to wear, it might be time to revamp your wardrobe with joy in mind. Here’s how you can transform your wardrobe to bring more happiness into your life.  1.  Declutter with Purpose The first step to a joyful wardrobe is decluttering. Go through each item in your closet and ask yourself whether it brings you joy. This concept, popularized by Marie Kondo's KonMari method, encourages you to keep only those pieces that spark joy. Letting go of clothes that no longer serve you or make you happy can be liberating. Donate or sell items that don’t fit, are out of style, or simply don’t make you feel good.  2...

Sort It Out September - Authentic Faith: Living With A Vexed Soul

Last post, I told you that I am a Christian Universalist.  My definition of this is believing that any path can lead to Jesus but the only way to the Father is through the Son. That said, I need to build from here.  I have to be delicate this post, as I know that people around the world are in grief, and we as a world are in a time of great uncertainty.  I'm choosing not to comment on the passing of Queen Elizabeth, other then to say I'm not commenting on it but I am trying to write with the greatest of delicacy and respect today.  Let's just say I know who my audience are, and I don't believe my opinions or comments on recent events will bring anything enlightening.  If you haven't got anything worth saying then just don't. I live by that.  At present, I'm treating my blog more like a ministry than a business, and I'm in one of those moments where what makes sense for ministry would not make sense for business.  This is the moment we cross over, back ...
