Today I listened to different speakers talk about the importance of consistency. They talked about the many benefits of being consistent in your daily life, such as weight loss, living your dreams, accomplishing your goals, etc. I had a strange thought though. Does anyone ever talk about the “consistency of inconsistency”. I’m sure most of us have mastered this art more dutifully than actually being consistent. But seriously, why not tell the truth? Tell us straight up that if we continue to be inconsistent then we’ll die alone (because we didnt’ consistently reach out to others), overweight (lack of consistency in eating healthy), broke (because we didn’t consistently handle our finances), depressed, destitute, prideful, lonely, lifeless, fearful, drained, bitter, dejected, fat, hopeless, sick etc. Well, you get the picture. I’m not sure where to start, but I do know that I’m “pain motivated”. So if it’ll take me thinking about how I don’t want to end up, then that’s enough for me to make some changes today… what about you?

My sister thought I should start a blog. Perhaps because I talk so much or that I have an opinion about everything…:) At any rate, this is my blog. I don’t know if anyone will read it (outside of my husband and probably my sympathetic co-worker E.A.) It’s “My Freedom Suite”. It’s a place where I (or anyone else) can really be free. No pretense. No fakeness. Just free. I wish I could say that every word I write will encourage you, or change the world or inspire you to change and make your life better. It won’t. If there are, perchance, things that I write that help you, then great! But I won’t make any promises. There may be days you’ll probably see me crying through my words because I’m thinking that “life stinks” today! I might even give up on being free and return to “the other world” and forget about the blog. This might turn into my virtual treadmill (i.e. the one that has the clothes draped across it, that we never use). So whatever I write and whatever you read, I hope it helps us both get closer to our own definition of freedom. Enjoy your journey and I’ll talk to you soon!
