We all Journey Differently

I've been thinking lately about the things that motivate us, and I've come to realize that it is always different, and always depends on the situation.



I do a lot of things for my husband and my children.



I also do a lot of things in order to be financially secure. Our goal is to be completely debt free in the next 10 years (house included).



These are goals that for some seem totally un reachable, and for others shouldn't even be goals because financial freedom is on lock down. It's done. It's never been a problem.


The point that I'm trying to make is that we all journey differently.


I was once told that no matter how hard I try, I was never going to be everyone's cup of tea. Why? because I'm me, and I have my strengths and my weaknesses, and those just are not going to jive with everyone out there. That's okay though.


Dita Von Teese once said the following, "You can be the ripest, juiciest peach in the world, and there's still going to be somebody who hates peaches."


Go figure, right?


I can be the best me, and it just isn't going to cut it for everyone out there.


That's the approach that I take in terms of the business that I run too. You know what? Pure Romance may not be for everyone. There are going to be folks who assume that all I do is sell naughty things. They will judge me. They will assume that what I do is frivolous.


That's okay.


Just because they don't take the time to see how much I actually help women, doesn't mean that I don't make a difference in their lives. For some, it's leaving a bad relationship. For others, it's getting in touch with their bodies after children, or menopause, or cancer. For others still, maybe it's about finding out what they want, and how to communicate that to a partner.


In any case, it's different for them, and it's different because it's me.


So my plea to everyone who might read this blog is this: find something that makes you a better person, and go for it. Don't worry about what everyone else thinks!
