Time to Lighten Up: I Am Not Being Burned By the Fire – I Am the Fire

Life has felt very heavy lately. So much so that I haven’t written or shared anything (other than recipes) for quite some time. When I don’t find time to write, I know something isn’t … right. 

It seems like almost everyone I know (myself included) is carrying a load that’s just a bit too much to handle. And the struggle can really weigh you down.

Today, I lightened things up a bit. Yes, my hair. But also, my attitude. 

I left the stress on the floor, right alongside the dead trimmings of my hair. 

I took a walk around the block, enjoying the sunshine on my face. 

I supported a few small businesses, which always makes me happy. 

I remembered that I am not defined, or confined, by the challenges and fire that surround me. 

I pulled on this shirt, custom made for me by my son with his favorite line from my book: “I am not being burned by the fire. I am the fire.” 

It’s my reminder that there will always be chaos and fire. It’s how we view it, and use it, that makes all the difference. 

Here’s how to order Become the Fire: Transform Life’s Chaos into Business and Personal Success
