I am loving today’s guts…

You know how you just get up on the right side of the bed some days? Well today, I bounced out of the right side of the bed. I am feeling good. The day decided to play along with bright blue sunshine and a light breeze. Seriously, right now, outside, there is not a cloud in the sky. Sigh. Perfect. 
Than Ms Pink Patent Mary Jane’s (you know her right?) showed us a new pic from the upcoming Harry Potters. And me, I am a giant fan of Harry and the crew. Crew doesn’t really seem like the right word but I am manically typing this as I cram a sandwich down my throat. So it’ll have to do. I mean, awesome right!?
And, did you know I am madly, crazy in love? Well I am. Plus we have money in the bank, days off booked and a beautiful home with a soon to be fence. And don’t even get me started on how ahhh-mazing my family and friends are. Sigh. L:ife’s good you know. When you take a chance to see past what’s not working to what is it becomes, really, really obvious just how lucky I am. 
PLUS I have motored through this morning’s tasks as well as being able, for the first time ever to allow my new guy (Hi new guy!) to take on his own job without me hovering or grabbing tasks back and being a total control freak. It’s a bit freeing. A lot freeing. And it all came through this little break through I had while assisting at the Landmark Forum a while back. 

Now, this is a disclaimer of sorts and a bugger off of others. I don’t usually mention my involvement with Landmark Education on here. Mainly because there is a lot of negative stuff out there in internet world. But today I thought, stuff it, being an introduction leader and participating in Landmark Educations programs is a huge part of my life, I’m going to tell you about it if I want. 

So here is what happened, that day I was assisting that transformed how I do things… I had a group I was in charge of. And I was running around doing everything and not delegating a thing. I was exhausted. The course supervisor, Jeff, said to me why do you do that? I thought for a minute and said because really, I don’t trust people. And he said, why not. I was like…. Hmmm, because. He said, I would assert it is because in this situation you are concerned for them making you look bad. And I laughed. Totally completely on the money for me. And now. I delegate… Like magic. Or if I don’t, I think of this particular look Jeff does and I let go. 
Well, this is longer than I thought it would be. And nothing like I thought it would be at the start. Strange how that happens. Turns out this is another random rambling. Gosh, might have to change my blog name… Right Lori?

  1. Ramble away.Jeff sounds wise. (And for his assertions I nag & screech at my children. Bad Mummy.)

  2. I have trouble delegating too. It goes back to something I heard when I was quite young.If you can't do it on your own, then you're not much good are you?It wasn't said to me, but it kind of stuck and to this day I have trouble asking for help, or telling others what to do. I guess that's why I'm forever a worker and never a boss.

  3. I think rambling rambles is the way that Harry and his crew like their blog posts, so you are good.

  4. Hehe. Random Ramblings of the Suger Coated One, perhaps? RRSCO? Almost longer than my acronym ;)
