Hi, couple things to "clean up" here, people keep suggesting that I write a book--a funny, inspirational book..well here's the deal people...I know for a fact that I will never be a best selling author. I know this for a few reasons.
1- I am not a pro athlete
2-I am not a wife of a political leader who cheated on me.
3- I was not abused as a child.
4- I did not get away with murder.
So back off, I will never be a best selling author...I'm not even a "best selling" blogger, I've had one comment in the last 18 post...I should be embarrassed. I should never sign on to this account again.
Second thing: Straight talk with AK----
People suggested to me that they could not move half way across the country w/o a job because their friends, family, co-workers, and peers would think that they were crazy....ok.
So we'll call this person GL. GL cannot change jobs, move to a different city, have a 5th baby, or go to the grocery store late at night because she is afraid of what people will think. Here is what I did for GL, I went to her parents and asked her mom what she thinks about everyday "Work, my sick mother, my anniversary coming up, selling the house, my grocery list, and what I will make for dinner." (Notice, she does not think about GL) Similar responses from her dad, her friends, and her co-workers....To sum it up..people don't think about you, people don't care what you do or how you do it..and if they are truly concerned for you, they are for, on average, 4 minutes at a time, those four minutes are commercial breaks, red lights, the period of time right before they fall asleep, and while they wait for their food at a restaurant. So just a lesson--if you find yourself holding back because you feel like people will think badly of you, DON'T, they are not only not thinking badly of you, they aren't thinking of you at all. Get over yourself and do something cool.
