Hi Friends!
I just had a great class in which we talked about the power of voice and the importance of being authentic to your voice. One thing that I realized I constantly do is...
Apologize.
I heartily believe in apologizing when I have wronged someone, but I apologize for EVERYTHING. It drives Mike crazyyyy.
The more I think about it, the more I realize I apologize for a lot of things that I didn't do and need to stop apologizing for simply being who I am. Especially if what I am apologizing for is me being firm in my own voice.
After all, what's the point of trying to show others my true self, if I am constantly apologizing for it?
Sorry this was so rambly! (AH! I did it again! This is going to take some practice.)
PS. I just opened up an ad shop through passionfruit. Interested in swapping buttons or sponsoring LB in Wonderland? I would love to have you!!! Check it out here. XOXOXO
Haha! I do this myself. I think we learn it early on. Thanks for linking up!! Alice

DeleteIt is so true! Only apologize when it is warranted. So many people say they are sorry for the littlest things.
