Just Checkin' In

I sent this quick email to someone I share the office with.  I remember being in a place where every single massage made the difference between beans and rice or maybe some chicken for dinner.  It’s hard to discuss with family and friends.  They just don’t get it.  I’ve been doing this for almost 10 years and people still wonder when I am going to get a “real job”.   I also like the “It sounds like you need to do some more massages.”  “Have you advertised?” is another jewel.  Yep, thank you for that insight, my closest, dearest friend that doesn’t understand how they are not being supportive, but I still love you… kinda. 

Hey there,

I just wanted to send a quick note and check in.  How are things going?  I feel like things have slowed down a bit for you and I don’t want you to become discouraged.  It happens. 

I hope you aren’t in a situation where you are starting to feel desperate.  If you are, we need to stop that and get you out of it.  Refocus and redirect your energy in a positive and fruitful way!

Take a look at where you feel your weaknesses are and let’s work on that.  There are plenty of resources available.  While I don’t have all of the answers, I have been there. 

What else is going on with you?  Is there something at home causing you stress?  Have you looked at the whole picture to put things into perspective?

I’m here for you if you need me!  

Yours in peace,

Rianne
