Persist Through Personal Growth Pains
/ Autumn McKenzie JacksonI am wildly uncomfortable! Still, it is invigorating and exciting! I am so far out of my comfort zone! I started to pare down activities so that I could focus my efforts. It didn’t change the discomfort. I am in pursuit of my dreams and I am in unchartered territory. The first instinct is to run back to what is familiar. I am overriding this default and pressing on. I am staying true to to my purpose and have no question that a WIN is coming! And guess who likes to WIN? I do!
Speaking of WINS! My conversation with Engel Jones was just released and the timing couldn’t be better! This #12minconvo podcast was a gentle and smooth reminder of what I am trying to accomplish. I must keep moving forward. My work is aligned with my truth and I was made for this.
On my last post, I casually mentioned that future posts would be monthly aka I will no longer be posting weekly. Uh, there is no way that I am waiting until next month to tell you about this! Furthermore, great things are happening everyday! Amazing things are happening every week. Additionally, I have gotten into the routine of sharing weekly and quite frankly- I missed you, too. There I said it! Thank you for all of the feedback and encouragement. I appreciate you! Have an amazing week!
While I was at my brother Darrell’s life celebration in NY, there was a windstorm in Maryland. I received a text from my neighbor that they were calling the police
I don’t know exactly when I realized that I was scheduled to work the same day Audrey and I were to fly to Orlando, Fl for National Club Swimming Association (NCSA) Age Group Championships.
As I prepared for my brother’s life celebration, I found out that I had no way to prepare for what I experienced. I already have the utmost admiration for my brother, still, over the course of one afternoon at West Point…
I am certain I did not understand the full significance of what he wrote then nor do I now, but I knew enough to hold onto his letters.
I tend not to be awestruck, but my older brother, Darrell, is an exception. He is my superhero.
Being mothered is a universal experience. It is a life long process.
I am grateful for all those who have touched my life and continue to invest in me in this way. God is intentional.. It is out of the abundance of His love through others that compels me.
