It Will Not Define Me..Not Talking the Scale

Wednesday night was very challenging for me emotionally and I allowed it to help make my choices. Thursday proved even more challenging waking to read I was accused of something that really had no merit, which resulted in me being “kicked out”. Ok it threw me, more so because I would not ever do what I was accused of. This too shaped my day.
I reached out to a friend, one I have not ever met face to face but after speaking on the phone, it was like I knew her forever. She too had not had the best day and I did not know that until deep into our conversation, so we shared and encouraged each other. As I was on the phone the UPS man came and had 2 things for me. Now at first I did not think much of it because we get deliveries all the time. Well I have to tell you when my oldest son brought it in it was this HUGE box and I really got suspicious that the wonderful person I was on the phone with had sent something…
My suspicion was correct! Holy Cow! Wanna see what I got?
Isn’t it gorgeous!? I just started to cry all over again!! But these were tears of joy…
all got together and sent me this absolutely beautiful gift. My #TeamTrish support!! 
Instantly that fire that had been snuffed out over the past 24 hours was ignited again! I learned 1 powerful message through things…I do not have to “belong” to any group, club or sorority to succeed. I have a wonderful support system in place. I have amazing friends…true friends…that will have my back to cheer me on…to kick my tail when I need it…to give me props when I succeed! I too will do that for them as well. We may not see everything the same way but our support is unconditional, not dependant on us sharing the same view on everything. That’s what support is and I am truly blessed to have that in my life!
Thank you Kelly, Jenn, Kim, Lori, Jenni, Terri, Kat, Shan and Mo for being who you are, being there for me, for all that makes you…you!
XOXO,
Trish
PS This photo was a quick snapshot and does not do the beauty of this Orchard justice…being looking for a much better one on an upcoming post over at Journey Of Hearts.

  2. We care about you so much Trish and it has nothing to do with pleasing sponsors, advertisers, or pimping our websites. I believe we all exist in this world to help one another. When we do not do that we have failed our purpose. You have integrity an honor Trish. I am so glad we are friends.

  8. I echo what everyone else said...I'm not sure exactly what happened but I have a feeling I know...and to be honest, I had a feeling about it beforehand but didn't know how to tell you. Remember this: what comes easily to you is valuable to others. You do not have to change WHO YOU ARE in order to be valuable. You do not have to bend over backwards for anyone but yourself. Hugs. HUGS!

  11. I have no idea what happened (I've only been online sporadically the past couple days) but I'm glad you have a good strong support system! And I agree with Karen, you shouldn't change yourself to fit in with others or just to be a part of a group! *hugs*
