Hello Jeanne!
I've been hearing a lot of "So, where have you been?"
Yes, it's true. I haven't been sending out newsletters over the past few months.
I could just apologize and say "I've been busy" but...
1. If you've worked with me, you know I don't support this as an excuse for ANYTHING.
2. If you're asking, I'm sure you want a REAL answer.
So, here is my honest answer: onboarding new clients, vacation, helped daughter self-publish a book (so proud of her - money goes to Humane Society), knee surgery, followed by a love-hate relationship with crutches for 8 weeks.
Okay, so what's wrong with saying, "I'm busy?"
This is an excuse and a weak one.
You see, what's happening is that we fear telling the truth.
- We may be judged.
- Others won't accept our truth.
- We will be seen as imperfect.
- We may lose a friend or hurt others' feelings.
This fear holds us back from:
- having real, authentic relationships
- allowing others to accept us for who we really are
- leading by example
Give others the opportunity to love you for who you really are. Trust me, it's worth it.
Be. Here. Now.
