One of the greatest gifts God’s given me is the presence of really wise women.
Brave, strong women who don’t let life hold them down.
One such woman is Cinelle Barnes. Cinelle is a master of words and her memoir, Monsoon Mansion, will be released in Spring 2018. Lucky me, she’s my writing mentor!
During a recent chat, the conversation quickly become about how I think I feel & analyze TOO much.
Every day, I’m overwhelmed with feelings I experience. From thinking about the refugee situation, then wondering how I’m suppose to be a mama and manage various writing projects, to analyzing conversations in my head. Processing my feelings is often the stumbling block trapping me from living life.
So I’m having that moment of “what in the world is wrong with me?” and “do you think other people process things in their head like this?”.
Cinelle brightly smiles and says “Jessica, have you heard that phrase…
Rocket science, I tell ya’ll! That was such a big statement! I go through life getting caught up in how I’m feeling instead of realizing my feelings are simply telling me something but shouldn’t be what guide my day or what influences the decisions I make.
I hope these few little words help ya’ll out too!
