Walking on Eggshells...

 By: Connie J..., August 19, 2023

Do you wake up, more days than not, worried you’re going to say the “wrong thing” to your partner, and send them on an angry tirade?



Do you worry, every time you ask, “What do you want for dinner?”, that it will change before the dinner is made; and your quiet evening at home will turn into a battle ground?


Do you feel you have to ask your partner for EVERY little thing; and they treat you more like you’re their property, instead of their “life-partner”?


Are you allowed to have close friends, and see your family whenever you want to?

Do your kids feel comfortable inviting friends over to play, at your house?



If the answer to any of the above questions is “no”, there is a good possibility you are living your life “walking on eggshells” – just trying to “keep the peace” in your household.


There is also a pretty good possibility, that It’s definitely starting to wear on your “good humor”.


Have you ever thought about taking steps to lessen the strain these “eggshells” are having on your life? Do you dream of sitting down to a nice dinner, and feeling appreciated? Do you worry your kids are learning a LOT more about living in unhealthy relationships; rather than how life could/should be in a healthy one?


Is it time to think in that direction?



Thank you, have a good day, and be safe… #oneinfour #ithappenstomentoo #dviseverywhere #domesticviolence


*October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Please share this post, no matter what month it is, to help get the word out. The Victim has to make the choice – but, “What If…” they read something you sent them, and it just “clicks”?

*I share a “What If…” post, once a month, and I would love the opportunity to share YOUR “what ifs”. Please send your “What If…” ideas to Connie J… – beamererin@yahoo.com; or through Ozer – ozerministries@att.net.

In our world, fear is a very common feeling. It's kinda getting scarier day by day. How can we not be overtaken by it? After 9/11, I battled some very strong fears - including a small plane flying overhead, when I was walking down the street, in my small town. That whole Covid debacle - they shut down the world!!! Then, I lived through the Derailment. I feel fear every day - wondering if I'll get sick. All of these bring up valid fears - but what am I supposed to do? Sit in a corner and chew on my hair??! Ineffective coping mechanism, right? But what CAN I do? Face them - talk to people, even a professional if need be. Remember, we ALL have the choice of our REACTION to our fears - we can let them paralyze us; or motivate us into action, EVERY DAY. What will YOU choose? We would LOVE to hear any insight you might have.

...your biggest fear DID happen? ...your biggest fear did NOT happen? ...you took that chance you've been prolonging? ...you took the first step to protect YOURSELF? ... you found out what "they said" WAS true? ...you found out what "they said" was NOT true? ...you took a deep breath, and you WERE able to begin to relax? ...you just "Let Them" do them? ...you "Let Yourself" do you? ...you BELIEVED your life was meant to be lived to the fullest? ...you COULD just be?

You ever feel that way, especially in a heated debate? Don't know about you, but when that happens, my brain is usually telling my mouth to hush - but it just keeps on going. Sound familiar? My personal goal has been to practice silence - you do have to pick your battles, because there are people that will argue with you about the sky being blue!!! Also, if you're dealing with a narcissistic person - you will not win. So, depending on the relationship - do you value being right, or value that relationship? Choices must always be made; and it takes contemplation BEFORE you're in a "battle". What are YOUR thoughts on this? We would LOVE to hear any insight you might have.

Regarding my word for 2026 - Building - I have been watching YouTube videos, every morning, evening and on my lunch breaks. Covering everything from building wealth in Retirement with Warren Buffet - to growing my life-skills with Mel Robbins, and her variety of guests on her podcasts. I am seeking my life "what next", for when I plan to retire within the next 5 years. While on this quest, everything I take in, I glean a little bit. Learning things the "traditional way" - via formal education, has NEVER been strong suit. I have actually been sharing some of what I've been learning with people I'm around every day - and it's coming out making sense. Normally, that only happens when I write, and correct, etc. Who knows where this will go - I'm going to just keep learning this new information; and blending it with things I have always known, because of what I've been through in my life. Stay tuned...what's next??! We would LOVE to hear any insight you might have.

It's hard, sometimes, to remember there are a MINIMUM of two sides to every story. When you factor in the truth, the incredibly creative fiction a mind can come up with, plus there is each individual's perspective - any situation can get blown out of proportion so fast, it's not even funny!!! Sometimes, the best thing a person can do is step back, close your mouth, and wait for the smoke to clear. It's hard to do - but if you don't, it can evolve to even bigger problems than were there, to begin with. What do YOU think??? We would LOVE to hear any insight you might have.

...so difficult??! I have mentioned that 2025, was a year of struggle; though I had one, of two of the BEST vacations, in my life. I spent over half the year trying to "start up", again; based on internal focus and structure that I had been building for roughly 10 years. FINALLY, after struggling for months - the words, "Start Over" appeared. The good news, is, that I wasn't starting over at ground zero. I was able to lay out a plan - it takes a minute (or seven), or at least 30 days of consistency, to build a good habit. I will let you know when I've arrived. We would LOVE to hear any insight you might have.
