The Unicorn

Am I bragging?

So I'm trying to write the Unicorn Gazette and I'm stuck. I've hit a wall for a number of reasons. One is I haven't written it in a few weeks and I'm sort of a different person in some ways than I was last time I wrote, plus so much has happened, I can't pick what to write. The other is that some of my experiences that are most vulnerable are not for everyone's eyes and ears and some of the experiences I'm happy to share sound like bragging if I state them. I shared this problem with my daughter and her response was brilliant: "Why do you care about the opinion of others? What does it matter if someone thinks you're arrogant?" I told her I've received feedback that people have felt that way in certain things I've shared. She said, "Just write from the heart." I thought about how I walk in life - the walk that produces the outcomes that if I talk about them probably sound arrogant, and I realized that no one thinks that when they experience my "I amness" - when I just live and "do me." People are grateful someone is boldly spreading random kindness and it is contagious. I said, "Yeah, that's what I do when I walk around and it works in my walking around life, but online, in words, it's harder. People can't feel me." So my daughter responds: "Maybe you could just insert a video in every part that people might mis-read without feeling your vibe."

I feel you on this, and also agree with your daughter! 😊 even when sharing experiences with others in which I am embracing or accepting or allowing the unpleasant experiences of life and move forward with love and optimism, I have found responses of jealousy? Judgement? or a sense that I am bragging. My hope is that others can drop their negative lens, and instead celebrate the happiness in others, seek it for themselves and embrace life!

I am happy that you are finding happiness, and that you readily share positivity and leave the door wide open wherever you go- allowing others to follow your lead, plunge through and find their own path.

I too, love complimenting other people. Watching them light up and realize their awesomeness is electrifying! Then, watching the domino effect as the compliment stream continues from person to person ❤️❤️ Love it!

Now I want to visit hotels with you!

Lori! I love you!!!! Let's go crash a hotel some weekend. I'm sure we can find someone people to electrify with joy! I love your insights...that balancing of accepting and doing the deep inner work as well as robustly embracing the joy and the fruits...also, on the flip I often don't share the challenges is because most people either want to commiserate or use it as a spring board to share their own challenge, often in a way that isn't particularly life-giving. The art of holding space lightly...of allowing and acknowledging the isness without trying to fix it, yet also being unattached/not projecting/being able to laugh and cry within the same sacred truth space.
