I read a great article I wanted to share with you. Do you struggle with rejection and what it does to you? Read this:
Is playing it safe holding you back?
Oh yes, I struggle with it all the time!!
When I first released my cards on Etsy, it was with great trembling and gasping breath! lol Same with when I speak.
But knowing your truth will help immensely.
My truth is that I am called to speak and write truth and to encourage and empower.
Once you KNOW the path you are to travel and use that as your plumb line, it gets easier.
Because then, it really doesn’t matter so much what others think.
And I have learned to laugh at my mistakes, even incorporate them into my writing and speaking. 🙂
Don’t let the fear of rejection keep you from doing something you love. Or keep you from taking the next steps that will get your gift out into our world. Everyone has an opinion, and many don’t hesitate to tell us what it is!
But remember,

But GOD’S opinion is all that matters. You can do great things. Don’t hold back because you fear rejection!
What about you? Do you find that fear of rejection holds you back from something you want, or feel called, to do? Discuss in the comments. We are all in this together!
And I’m here to encourage you!
Love and big hugs, Passionista

These are my stories—my life. I try to write honestly, raw, and from my heart. I try to tell all the parts—the good, the hard, the tough, the hopeful, and the emotional.
But most importantly, I am here to be found by you. I am open-hearted, and I won’t hide.
When I share my story, my words, and my experiences you may see yourself in them.
I make myself vulnerable, hoping that you might learn and heal.
We all need healing. The world can be cruel. Sometimes life can break us.
But there is joy and hope to be found. I pray that I may lead you to the One who can give them to us.
So, who am I?
*I’m an educator at heart–it’s in my blood.
*I’m a highly emotional person–I identify that as “passion”.
*I’m a late-life mom to two amazing and beautiful (adopted) children who have physical, mental, and psychological differences from “typical” children.
*I’ve lived a lot. I’ve learned a lot. And I’ve healed a lot.
I hope you will join me in my quest to live for God, to live fully, and to spread truth!
