Discovering My Inner Warrior

Hello, seastars. This post will be a bit different, so brace yourselves. As you know, I'm a mother of a sweet two-year-old girl. I'd been talking with her father about rearranging her room to accommodate her toys for weeks. To be a bit frank I got sick of talking and planning. I decided to act.
Secretly I enjoy deep cleaning and organizing. Especially spring cleaning! There's just something about airing out your home after a long winter. I love it! So I broke out pine-sol, baking soda, and my trusty vacuum. I worked in sections, treating the carpet with baking soda and playing furniture Tetris with a large toddler bed and dresser. My project took me a decent 9 hours and when it was finished I was so proud of myself. I'd done an entire room's worth of work alone. And my daughter loves her "new" room.

You must be asking yourself why I've titled this post with the word "Warrior" if all I did was rearrange a room. Here's the different part of this blog entry. I had to do everything by myself. I measured out the room and the furniture. I drew out a rough diagram. I'd planned and tried to set aside time for weeks to complete this project-which would ultimately benefit the rest of the household. When I got tired of waiting for help, I got it done. And it got me thinking.

What if we all took that initiative in everything in our lives? Certain opportunities are time-sensitive and if we wait for every last detail to fall into place the opportunities will pass. Imagine the world-changing energy we could put into our own lives! Just think, what could you do to take control over your life? Even something small. Personally, I have multiple projects I've been waiting for help to start. Now that I've had a taste of how empowering taking charge can be, I don't think anyone is going to stop me.

In that same vein of thought, it's so easy to allow ourselves to stumble on little things. Or to be overwhelmed when we look at the larger picture. I prefer to work in small sections and take breaks often. Some people like to just plow through their tasks. Whatever the method, checking off items on a list feels great!

And speaking of finishing tasks, I've decided to open Seaspray's Shoal to the public. All interested parties have to do is answer a couple questions when they first request to join the group. You can find Seaspray's Shoal on my Facebook page. If you're interested in the original membership gifts, they are available as part of my Patreon page.
