Spoon rings by, Mike Smyth for the Eclectic Shoppe |
I recently told someone that they reminded me how I want to spend my life surrounded by the makers of the world, not the breakers of it, and it's true, it's where I feel the most alive. If you're creating something, growing something, fabricating something, or teaching something ... I want to be part of it! I am, quite frankly, done with all of the bitchers, twitchers, and even the do-nothing belly-itchers. Meaning, obviously there's a time for every purpose, and it's healthy for folks to rest, clear the air, or blow off steam, I'm definitely not a big cheerleader of toxic-positivity where it's all smiles all the time ... or else! What I'm talking about are the attitudes that keep people stuck, stagnant, and small. I'm happiest when I'm living a life that's expansive, and abundant, and I can't occupy that space when I'm experiencing crushing negativity. I'd argue that no one can.
