Conversations With Marva: Sunday’s Thoughts: Climbing

  • Danielle · 1 year ago
    Bravo Marva! When I was laid off 3 yrs. ago, I had a alot of anger and it lead me to the very same questions. Who am I outside of "what I do"? Too often in this world, our value and worth are defined by what we do, what we have or what we are "lacking."

    I'm glad to see you working your way back to defining yourself and acceptance of who that woman happens to be. It's one of the best things anyone can do for themselves. ;)

    D - Thank you...I think I am just beginning to release the anger; for a while, it has been hidden and I have ignored it, but it has always been there...I am ready now to just let it go. It doesn't belong here anymore...

    I lost my job two years ago and even though I was scared, I know it was the best thing for me. Actually, I remember laughing about it because I felt free.

    I love my job now, even though it's not what I want to do forever. I'm with you, though. I'm on the path to finding myself. I've been in this fog since my mother passed away and I need to find me and what I want. I've been the caretaker for others for way too long.

    Kudos to you. Keep up the good fight. It gets scary and frustrating at times but you are on the path to finding the real you...so this path is more than worth it!

    Cynthia - Somewhere in my mind, I know that losing that job was a freedom that I needed, and I'm grateful. But it has been overshadowed by the grief and anger for over a year and I'm just now getting to the point of releasing it...

    Good for you! Here is a cyber hugh for you (((hug)))...

    Very inspirational. I was just telling my hair stylist this weekend that surely God has a plan for her because he has been putting her through some things. She lost everything in a fire a few months ago. Got back on her feet in a new place and a new shop and now she is being kicked out of the shop because the owners are selling it. I told her you are going to have a testimony after all these tests!

    Keep climbing girly!
