My this and your this may be different or nearly the same. No one else is making me do this, but myself. Today’s this is sitting down and writing, stripping away my other more loveable priorities, tasks and agendas to reach to a crowd…the mommas in the audience. Mommas: Would you please stand if you procrastinate. Would you please stand if you live in fear. Would you please stand if you don’t feel worthy. Would you please stand if you’re without a life rudder. Would you please stand if you need to divorce a false story about yourself. Stand and stay standing. I am making myself do this post because it’s the hard thing I don’t want to do. I want to do what comes easy, just like so many of you. For me, it doesn’t come natural to sit or to write. It doesn’t come easy to separate myself off from my kids in my bedroom/office and have to say I’m working to the little people in my life who don’t understand. I am not a writer. I am inconsistent at posting, blogging, videoing and generally communicating to the masses. I sometimes lack things to say. I get frequently interrupted…are you sick of my excuses yet? I am. No more. I want to be reaching you much more often! I want to inspire the most healthy and holy crowd around, but I can’t do that without cutting away at my own resistance to things I don’t love. Well, here it is. My raw. My real. My life. I’d so much rather be keeping my perfectly tiddy house, leading a rosary walk, going on a long road bike, swinging in my hammock reading Lift Up Your Heart or St. Hildegard Sister of Wisdom, but I’m not. I’m here with YOU. What do you struggle to do? What’s that thing you’re not doing that you ought to be? I mean the legacy level work in your life, not the toothbrush scrubbing of the backside of every faucet in the house…cause they’ll never notice anyway. I am saying today that I am recommitted to my CORE. I want every day to reflect my Commitment of Real Extension. I want to go beyond where it’s all comfort based and lead with my CORE. At the core of this mission to move forward will be doing daily what doesn’t come easy, and doing it firstI mean it. That’s what extending yourself consists of. Lots of it! You have to see that first before you bury it, and each day will try its best to do that. From the CORE of who I am and desire to be, to the core of who you need to be, let’s roll! “Engage your core” is something I have long preached in my 40 some odd full-length workout videos. Core, core, core. I preach it only second to the Gospel. Well, I am reengaging! Will you reengage and do that hard thing too to move yourself forward daily? Together in prayer and purpose we’ll rise as wives, mothers and mentors to a hurting world. Keep fit, stay faithful! Rebecca Dussault Mother of 5, Olympian World Champion Motivational Speaker P.S.
