I am not your guru

Is this the blog where I tell you something personal and inspirational? Where I take you on a word journey to a dark time in my life when I wasn’t happy but then became happy? Is this where I share with you that I made the radical decision to love myself?

Or do I write about that time I took a leap of faith? Looked the devil in the eye? Trusted a stranger? Found myself?

Am I supposed to confess something?

Here’s the deal: I’m passive. I don’t have the backbone to stand up to people; I’ll just move out of their way.

As for challenges, I don’t “overcome” them so much as roll with them, which is to say sometimes they roll over me. Flatten me, leave me for dead. Sometimes the challenge will throw itself in reverse and roll back over me again.

But all is not lost. I have other strengths. I am patient, reliable and adaptable. I’m creative, well read and have substantial technical skills. I know how to publish books and produce plays and podcasts, even in a pandemic. But if you’re looking for a strong, inspirational, David from David & Goliath type of person, bye.

Thanks for reading my blog! If I didn’t just totally lose your respect, see you tomorrow. -Connie
