(Thoughts from the Road)
Have you ever felt exhausted by…just BEing w yourself?
It was exhausting being me and present to all the layers of emotion and different experiences today (12.27.15).
From arriving to the airport this morn at 5ish AM w Kel, to the excitement of spontaneously deciding to stay behind (solo) to do some shoppin’ for a few hours, to flirting w Kel via text as I waited for him to pass through the security line, to waiting until dawn to safely navigate my way by cab back to DT San Diego ( I was sort of scared so early in the morning ), to buying breakfast and a cup of coffee for “Ted”, a homeless man (pictured here) who I listened to at length -about 45 minutes – while waiting for the mall to open, to being brought to tears when Ted abruptly stopped talking & started crying, then eventually got up and walked out of the restaurant.
At one point he said, “Thanks Kim for talking w me. You make me feel like I am somebody.”
(Learnings and the rest of our story and the impact it had on both of us = this week’s blog post I think.)
…To the rush of FABULOUS “fabulous finds” at Horton Plaza, to new understandings during a quick devotional prior to catching a cab back to the airport, to once again thinking of family…the day was a roller coaster of emotions – and I’m pretty sure that was an understatement.
…I am again reminded of the (not-always-easy) cost of being present, yet I’m thankful for the opportunity to BE so after living under a thick cloud of fog until my mid 30s. Being present is a part of living my vision of success, #grateful.
Finally home from Cali…Thx for listening/reading, helpful for me to process. Going to sleep well tonight…XO
P.S.
What does living your vision of success look like? Not sure how to define success? Not sure how to live it out loud?
I didn’t know how to put a framework around creating or living my life by design…until I did. Would be honored to show you how. Ready? Move into action and register for 1.9.16.
