What a great post! I love your honesty about the scariness of doing new things. Even as I type this, I'm sitting in a new space working on getting a business started with my husband (eek!). I love “What would Aimee do?” as an ongoing question. I've recently been pondering the idea that many of us picked up as children - that we were supposed to be like Jesus. And by that I mean essentially perfect. We were supposed to be humble, able to resist temptation and know just what to say and when to say it. Instead, I now believe we're *invited* to reflect Jesus to the world in our own particular way. The Aimee way? Creativity, nurturing, compassion. May you lean into that and have the support you need to be fully yourself in this role!
I confess that after I pushed the send button, I had a moment where I thought "I could have written this in a much more generic way without sharing the particular details of where I'm at right now." But the button was already pushed!
I did think of you as one of my friends doing something new right now. Steady on friend!
Thanks for the encouraging words last week, I could feel that dark fog lifting throughout the week. And thanks for the encouraging words today!
Aimee ... this post is so beautiful. and so timely. I'm stepping into something very fearful and new as well and it has been paralyzing. This post is exactly what i need to stay in it!! Thank you for your courage and vulnerability!!
I love that my post and the comments from you and Shannon are all about women in their 40's and 50's doing things that require courage...somehow it helps to hear that it's not just me, you know? Keep going, friend! ❤️
