Don't Go Chasin' Waterfalls
Who doesn't love a good story?
?
Have you ever thought that you're creating a story?
?
There was a time - I remember - when some chick asked me,?"What's your big story?"
?
And I thought - "I don't have a story."
?
She was pretty adamant that I HAD to have a story - I mean a BIG story.?Like Rags to Riches kind of story...
?
Because I didn't have anything dramatic to share -?
I vehemently said - "Well, I don't need a story."
pfft
?
But the thing I didn't know back then, is...
Everyone has a story.
?
Some are little stories.
Some are MUCH bigger.
?
And there's all the little stories we create every - single - day.
?
Like today.
?
Today was Mother's Day - and my sweet son said he'd go on an adventure with me
?
Now - "Mom-adventures" - are not for everyone.
?
'cause sometimes - I pick places on the map that don't turn out QUITE as expected.
?
I said - "Let's go chasin' waterfalls!"
?
And so - we went.
?
I had a bunch of spots on my Google Maps list that I'd never been too.
(there are LOTS of waterfalls all over the place up where I live)
?
First one we found?
?
Was gorgeous.
?
I'm sure I'll post pics on my FB profile.
?
Second one?
We never found.
We drove to the middle of the woods until we couldn't drive anymore because the road was covered in water...
?
We sloshed through the water on foot - got soaked - and walked 3 miles before we realized that we weren't going to find the darn waterfall.
?
And...
had to walk back of course.
?
That was it.
A "Mom-adventure" for the books.
?
Now we can talk about that one time we walked and walked pointlessly enjoying the wildflowers and birdsong in the very quiet woods...
?
I wonder if I have a point to this story?
?
Well - here's something you can take from it - the other family members would've been super upset that I didn't have a better plan.
?
But me and my son?
Just enjoyed the walk and each other's company.
?
So - if you don't know where you're going - or what you're doing - enjoy the journey while you figure it out.
?
If you need pointers?
Make sure you bring a map.
?
Sometimes - you gotta figure out the map yourself - especially if there are certain things you will NOT do.
?
The simplest map?
Is to find the people who need what you have and get your products in front of them.
?
Where do you find them?
?
Tiktok .
Instagram.
Facebook .
YouTube .
?
Just a few places.
?
If you need any help setting things up or figuring things out - hollar.
?
XOXO
