Hello all of you amazing people! I honestly cannot express how grateful I am to be "back". I don't have to tell you that the last 18-20 months have been...once-in-a-100-years DIFFICULT because you've been living through it too. So, first of all, I pray that you are well; that your family and loved ones are healthy and doing alright. For those of you in grief and struggling, I send peace and light your way. I pray you know you're not alone, that help is available to you. Just reach out.
This relaunch/reboot/remix episode is just me. It's an update, a confession, a pep talk and a list of 'what's saving me right now', and also what's kicking my a$$. To be vulnerable, the last eighteen months my tank has been "empty"- my heart broken by the injustice, the lies, the distrust of expertise, the disappointments of my faith-community, that I just couldn't "fake it" with y'all. So, I took a beat; poured into my family and close friends; and now, I'm transitioning from surviving to thriving (fingers crossed) and this podcast is one place I hope to put light and love into the world again.
This episode is about living your purpose, defining your values and living with integrity. What are these elements for you? Maybe it's time for you to relaunch a dream; maybe it's time for you to cut someone loose; whatever the decision, see it through and live with integrity. It's NEVER too late to reboot/remix/relaunch your life, and I hope this Network can be a place of encouragement and sunshine for you in the process. The Lipstick Network has been and always will be a place and space where we see, celebrate and love extra-ordinary women! If you're one of those extraordinary women (you are, just nod your head in agreement and smile), or if you want to celebrate another extra-ordinary woman in your life, drop me a line. Like, for real!
In closing, let me say, "You sexy." Put on a pop-lip, some comfortable and sexy heels and strut through your day with the conviction that every ordinary thing you do is EXTRA-ordinary to someone in your life. You are a chain-breaker, overcomer, diva on a mission to put love, truth, freedom, gratitude and grace into the world. You are not alone; we are all sisters on mission, together. Now, go on and seize this day!
With love,
Char
