Even if they can’t (or don’t want to) meet my level of energy, my enthusiasm is contagious. I love spreading encouragement, helping others realize all the infinite possibilities in the universe. We can do anything we set our mind to, we can live full of joy, and we can live outside the box. Nobody gets to define happiness for us, we choose that all on our own.

What is one little thing you can add to your routine to make you feel REALLY GOOD about yourself?“ This might sound strange, but definitely lipstick. I don’t wear makeup all that often, but I’m a huge fan of color. I’ve got lipstick in practically every shade of the rainbow, and it always brightens my mood (kinda feel like I should do jazz hands after applying). Apply a little hot pink and I’m ready to carpe the hell out of the diem.

They are entirely silver glitter, like a disco ball, except for the soles. Any outfit I wear is instantly transformed. I also love my maroon shirt from Tillamook Creamery in Tillamook, Oregon. To every else it is just a t-shirt, but to me it is the t-shirt I wore when I took an unplanned dip in the Pacific Ocean in September. We didn’t plan on going in the water since the water temperature was in the mid 50’s but I’m from Kansas and I hadn’t seen the ocean since I was seven. I waded in clear up to my chest and it was so cold I’m pretty sure I saw Jesus, but it was absolutely worth it. That shirt makes me remember I am brave.

I caught a case of brain block as sometimes happens when I try to think positively about myself, so I got vulnerable and turned to my Facebook friends for a little help.
HERE’S SOME OF THE NICEST THINGS PEOPLE TOLD ME ABOUT MYSELF: “You Are very kind and funny!” “You are hilarious, gregarious, kind, tender hearted, loyal, loving, and adventurous.” “Outgoing and empathetic” “You are incredibly resilient.” “You see good in all people.” This exercise really warmed my heart.

Ok, I was wrong before, this prompt is now the hardest. I’ve had a really strained relationship with my body every since my hysterectomy back in 2018. I’m also in my forties now so my body is continuing to change in ways I wasn’t expecting (in my head I’m still in my twenties). I guess this is called a journaling challenge for a reason.

Today, I’m coming up with a concrete list of ways that I can actually demonstrate that grace to myself.

Make a list of all the reasons.” This is probably the hardest prompt yet. I am incredibly hard on myself. I think a lot of people find it easier to extend grace to others rather than ourselves. I’m just watching the cursor blink on my ipad - make a list of all the reasons, but how do I even begin? I guess, I’ll start with because I give it to others. Am I not worthy of the same forgiveness and kindness? Maybe instead of a list, it’s time to remember a French commercial I stumbled upon a few years back where two actresses sat in a restaurant for coffee and said aloud to each other the negative things women said about themselves. It made everyone uncomfortable and patrons even stopped to say “Hey, you shouldn’t say such mean things to her.” At the end of the video it simply states, if you wouldn’t say it to someone else don’t say it to yourself. The way we speak to ourselves matters. I need to be reminded of this multiple times a day - sometimes it feels like hundreds. I do deserve the grace, the love and kindness that I extend to others. Let me try this, when I catch myself being mean and negative or too hard on myself, I should say out loud, “I am worthy of grace and I deserve kindness. I love myself as much as I love others.” Maybe we should all do this, as often as we can. Want to tackle this journaling challenge together? Come join us in Conk’s Community.

Why is this your favorite moment? “ Birthday’s are hands down my favorite childhood memory. Growing up, we never went without, but we didn’t have money for frivolous things like brand name clothes or that peanut butter jelly that was mixed together in the same jar, but my mother always made sure we had a birthday party. She’d get a boxed cake mix and candles, and let me help decorate (because that was my jam). At my brothers birthday in July, she’d put up the little kiddie pool in the back yard and all the cousins and neighbors would come over and splash around in 2 feet of water having a grand old time.
The absolute biggest thing my mother did was rent out the skating rink for my birthday party. I was not a popular kid. I was weird and got picked on all the time. Kids were mean, but on that one glorious day, all that got put aside. I got to invite my entire grade school class and of course most of them showed up because it was the early nineties and no one turned down a chance to skate for free! I chose that party knowing that it would mean that was the only present I would get from my parents, and that Christmas would be slim too because I was sinking all the gift money into this one shining moment. To this day, I am still filled with nostalgia and a warm fuzzy feeling when I remember whooshing around the rink to some sweet tunes surrounded by all my classmates and cousins. For one day, I wasn’t the weirdo or the kid with divorced parents, or the kid who couldn’t afford anything name brand - I was the kid who was queen of the skating rink. I still celebrate my birthday with cake, and I make sure to celebrate other people’s birthdays too, because everyone deserves to have a little magic in their lives, even if it’s just for an afternoon.
