The Soul Search Café has been an idea of mine for many
years. So often, as humans, we doubt
ourselves, our accomplishments, what we are capable of, and how we can become
who we've always wanted to be. As a very
involved member of the self-doubt club, I have procrastinated, wavered, feared,
doubted, and so many other negative behaviors and emotions concerning creating
this blog. It's interesting, to me, how
we can cling to the negative and allow it to prey on who we want to become.
We all grow in different ways. Just like flowers need sun, food, and water
to grow, we have our needs. Needs are
not the same as desires. As humans, we
often equate need and desire and tend to get the two confused. There is so much to learn about the human
condition, and even more to learn about ourselves. In this blog, I hope that we can help one
another learn how to become more aware of who we are, learn how to find the
positive in nearly everything, and cultivate happiness and hope through
establishing not only who we want to become, but bringing that person to the forefront
regardless of what others feel or think about our new decisions and changes in
who we are. I hope that we can be a
lovely community of learning and growth offering one another food for our
souls, bring water to cleanse and wash away the debris of negative influence,
and be shown on by the sun of each other's support and encouragement.
Recently, I had a friend tell me that this was a good
idea. I hemmed, hawed, and procrastinated,
again. It's a favorite pastime of mine,
procrastinating, that is. Somehow, this
time, Victoria, in all her wisdom and encouragement got through. So, here we are, you and I, together,
starting a journey of searching our souls.
I would like to invite you to come into the Soul Search Café to learn,
offer your own knowledge, tell us your stories, and encourage us all with your
brand of growth. I look forward to
offering you what I have, learning from you by gaining what you are willing to
offer, and being a part of your journey, as I hope you'll be a part of mine.
Until next we meet, stay encouraged and affirmed,
Nell
