Okay, I’ve started this Facebook page on my Inside Out page and my personal page and now all I need to do is get some followers…Holy Hell!! Let’s talk Overwhelm! Social Media and almost everything computer makes me so overwhelmed I frigging lose my breath. This is small potatoes compared to all of the overwhelm that is out there and I want so badly to help people, mostly women, to find some sense of community and know that they are not alone.
I came up with the idea sitting at my kitchen table having a conversation with my bestie, that just happens to be my daughter (lucky me), about all the people out there suffering in a state of overwhelm with life so much of the time. Katherine was the one that came up with O.W.L. because she is a bit of a wordie nerdie. Owl’s also represent wisdom and there is definitely wisdom in experiences. Good or bad.
I want it to be a place where women, of all ages and walks of life, can meet to talk about the overwhelm in their lives. It can be anything from just having too much to do, dealing with illness, elderly parents, hard to deal with siblings, financial fears, all of it… Life just gets hard and overwhelming and I want to bring people together in a safe space to talk about it and share wisdom. I know that Facebook and Instagram have far too many, look at me, my life is wonderful, sites and that’s just not very real. This is a real place to share our stories and some laughter too, because laughter is good medicine.
I have little tips and tricks to put some of the overwhelm to sleep, well maybe just down for a nap for right now. It really is a part of life and it really does suck when we feel so alone in it. I think part of the reason we keep suffering in silence is because we’ve been under the assumption that nobody wants to hear about our troubles. Well, maybe that’s true at a party or out for dinner with friends or just being the one that chronically complains and you don’t know how to change that narrative because it stays at the top of your mind. I want this to be a group that supports all of it, with love and kindness, because we all need that.
Mostly it’s about connection and learning to live your best life now, with a little help from me, and a group of like minded people that just need support, and perhaps offer some of their own wisdom,
And love, From The Inside Out…
