Its About TIme...

Well Shame On ME! Time has went and I have not shared in a while. To be honest, I am living a groundhog day moment. It seems that everyday looks the same and I find myself doing the same thing. 

Until Sunday... I am part of a class full of young beautiful professional women. Some as teachers others as stay at home moms. Together we are figuring out what defines us. As Denise was speaking Sunday I had one of those great moments when a phrase that I had heard many times took on a new meaning. It starts with Adam and Eve in the garden, then eating the fruit, then God coming to see them and finding that they have hid themselves. He asks where they are and they reply we are hiding because we are naked. (HERE IT IS) and God says "WHO TOLD YOU" you were naked. 

I am all about filters. Ways that I can control my responses so that they are good. Ways that I think so that I have joy not stress. This is my new filter. WHO TOLD YOU. Someone can tell me that I suck, now i ask who told me. Is that person someone that I need to listen to or is it someone that spoke out of line. Same with the good. I am great. Is that a person that speaks with influence? 

From now on when words start to frame my world I am asking WHO TOLD YOU. I will receive only that which is good for me, which builds me up, which sets me free, which makes me stronger. 

 As for my groundhog days, well we will see.
