I Know This Song and Dance and It's Happening Under the Stars

I remember the simple steps of a waltz. I don't know how to put anything extra on it, but I've been told I have a near perfect frame and a crisp simple box step. I remember learning it those first few days. It felt awkward. It was clunky. It wasn't anything like Julianne Hough on DWTS. I promise you it still isn't 

I had the longest mental 48 hours of my life this week and at the end of it I've calmed my brain by recreating the box step. It was a process to start something from the ground up, but little by little it came together. 

I've just about got everything I wanted. I'm the woman generations of women before me horribly sacrificed for me to be. 

It was why I laughed when my co-worker Kim told me a storm was coming and would hit hard for me. 

I shouldn't have laughed. The stars were  right. 

I'm exhausted. I'm a little numb. The balance with which I was finally starting to experience is completely thrown off. 

It's like I'm learning the box step again, or it's my first year playing the violin and I'm being lied to and told it sounds great. It's like it's my sophomore year of high school and I've churned out my first 26 page business plan, but it's only mediocre. 

I had to crash and burn terribly before I became a pro. 

I feel like that's where I am now. The only way to take back control is to practice.  

I've gotta pluck with my index finger, box step until my toes bleed, and write until the next big brand is built and I will because that's what I do best. 

I beat the odds, find new goals and dreams,  and make it look easy to accomplish them. 

I love a good comeback story 

It's time for me to make another one.
