Who do you consult with?

In the search for who we are and the purpose that we have we seek out consultations. Finding the right people to consult with can be a trial and error experience. Many people consult to lead you closer to being like them, or what they understand. While there is nothing wrong in this, it can leave one to feel guilty or question themselves. Searching for who we are, should not lead us into a series of doubt or guilt.

Finding the right consultation for your search to who you are: 

*Know that not everyone will understand your journey. But there will be people who relate- this is important because someone who is a good consult will not compare their journey to yours, they will relate it to yours. It is up to you to draw the conclusions. 

I realized that the more I spent time with people who loved me and had fun with me, I loved myself and had fun with myself. 

By surrounding yourself with strong, trustworthy, loving, and respectful people you can learn about yourself by seeing what they see in you. This is tricky! So do not get stuck here, because if you surround yourself with the wrong people, they can lead you down the wrong paths. I am lucky to have established a community that I can lean on and count on to show me who I am, when I forget who I am. I have friends that remind me of my strengths that I sometimes forget to notice or recognize. We can learn about ourselves by trusting those around us. But be warned. Sometimes people want you to be more like them. That is not finding yourself. The right people will point out who you are, not who they want you to be.


Keep it bright. Keep it positive.

Study Buddy: Rome Midterm Break

So I am currently taking a break from my study of Ancient Rome for my totally awesome midterm tomorrow. And as I continue to study and express excitement over the small amounts of information that I can recall and remember I am becoming more and more skeptical of the study of HISTORY. Yes, I am beginning to wonder at the very very very last minute, end of my time in school that history is not really factual. Just because it has occurred does not mean that it is a truth of what has happened. That saying "lost in translation" has a HUGE impact on any sort of history being read, interpreted, or analyzed. Not only are we looking at a history written either recently or better yet, in the very distant past. We are reading the interpretations of someone else. We are reading the WHO, WHAT, WHEN, HOW, &&&& WHY that was most important to them. We are reading an interpretation of the facts. But we all know that facts get "LOST IN TRANSLATION." Let's use som...

Transition

For awhile now I have been in transition. I have been wondering where my path will lead me this time. And I think I have come to a decision. At first I was thinking of changing up this blog completely, like you followers have seen in the past. Then I remembered the meaning of this blog. I remembered what it stands for in my life journey. I decided I could not change it up completely. Rather I could take a timeout from it and create a new blog for this new journey. And from time to time I could post on this blog. NOMADICBEE. I created this alter ego, this alias, this pen name, etc etc etc. When I was wondering. When I was traveling the tracks less traveled. When I was finding my way, when I was moving around. When I was going to college, creating, defining, and then redefining myself. I am and always will be her, Nomadicbee. This word, sometimes one and sometimes spaced out to two, is me and is part of me. And I will never let it go completely because how can anyone let themselves go c...

To plan or Not to plan

There are some things in life we kind of have to plan. BUT then do we really? I mean we can plan on going on a trip but then the trip gets cancelled. We can plan a career or graduation. Or plan a party. But then might I suggest that the best things in life are sometimes unplanned? For instance, instead of planning, we allow or open ourselves up to the enjoyment of the possibilities and the unexpected or maybe even the expected. There have been a few times that my plans have fallen apart. It becomes a frustration that many of us know all too well. And then the things that I sometimes do not plan for, are the best things EVER! So I challenge you, instead of planning, maybe say I'm open to it!
