Hahaha! Totally relate - age makes no difference, I've sadly discovered, my 15-yr-old is just as bad combined with her 9-yr-old brother, I NEVER have phone conversations at a normal hour.
Enjoyed this piece for the simple reason that I relate to all you've expressed. Looking forward to learning about your powerful writing process and hopefully apply the same application to my own process.
Funny stuff, thanks for sharing.
I love all of these, they too left me in smiles and giggles. I think one of the one's that should be added to the list, "Live in the moment!" The lady that shared this with me is a great mentor to me and we can all learn from those older and wiser than us. So often we forget to embrace our experiences, they are the very tools in life that teach us, grow us - in joy and in pain.
How can you choose one, we are all so unique and as you said, gives a rare glimpse into each other's lives. I look forward to this each week. My top 5 this week are: 17, 2, 3, 22, 23. Thank you for posting and thank all for sharing of themselves so publicly. Precious.
"I'm here to show the world what an imperfect person is. I'm also here to show the world that being "imperfect" is okay."
I'm new to your blog but I think what I most appreciate and look forward to is your realness. You, as stated above, brought the funny to my day and the provoking thoughts that lied dormant. I would encourage you to continue keeping it real. In addition, I would like to thank you for being real, taking your time to invest into others, and sharing of yourself.
Hugs back at ya!
Yes, you're walking through the desert without a camel. :)
Actually, I agree. It applies to both parties and both parties are guilty. No debate... you said it all and the "P.S." was a good touch. Praying you find yourself loved as you desire.
Not on the day you posted this however tonight I got logged in, then kicked out, and ever since have been receiving the continous search for it. And after all its searching it tells me that "Oops! Internet Explorer could not connect." WHAT??????????????
First, thank you Michael for allowing Alicia to post this blog. Alicia, I love that you wrote about this topic. Two sentences caught my attention: 1) "I have an amazing group of mentors, and I get excited whenever I bring a new one home." and 2) "Leaders don’t write books for fame, money or fun; they write books because they have a passion to influence lives." I could not have said it better! You have encouraged me to respond, not timidly but confidently, the next time I'm asked, "What type of book are you writing?" Thank you! I'm looking forward to reading more of your post at Faith Imagined.
I giggled when I saw the title of this blog come through in my email, primarily because I just received an email from you (of which I was very surprised to receive, I was expecting marketing to respond). I also giggled due to the fact that I have so many inboxes (linkedin, twitter, facebook, myspace, blog, college, personal) and would love an assistant. Granted, I have no where near the volume you do but when my own mother says "you never responded to the email I sent you", it leaves me longing for an assistant, a clone, calgon, or an easy button - anything other than time management skills. (wink)
