Am I still "sad" susie anymore???
Permalink  

Thank you PP for such a simple yet thought provoking challenge! 

PP kept asking me if I was still "sad" susie. I didn't think much of it the first few times, but I did today. I can think of a million other things that describe my present journey as well as what I HOPE for my journey to look like. This was very powerful. I challenge all of you to really think about where you were, where you are now, and where you hope to be. 

If you had to create yourself a NEW name, what would it be. What would you have used to describe your self when you first arrived? 

I'll give you some of my examples. 

I was "sad" susie - mostly because I really had no grasp of how to identify how I was feeling. 

Now I am - growing susie, free susie, sharing susie, open susie, peaceful susie, stand my ground susie, shake it up susie, frustrated susie, scared susie, out of her comfort zone susie, EMOTIONAL susie lol. 

I WANT to be: AMAZING SUSIE, JOYFUL SUSIE, SUCCESSFUL SUSIE, 

What are you???

You are so adorable.  I haven't seen you as sad....sometimes we unknowingly keep us in spaces that no longer fit.  Of course we will experience a whole array of emotions and that is an awesome way to live.  Your container is changing, yay!!!biggrin

It's just a nic. The susie I know is such a good person full of hope and works her program!

I always use my name Debilyn. I would feel wierd using something else. But I had a fun boyfriend who called me Trixie and Jellyhead. I liked that. was all in love too. He was quite turned around by me. He thought he was so intimidating, macho, knew so much. but met me and said I never know if I am coming or going! lol

hugs sweet susie
