31 days of Honesty, Authenticity and Truth Day 2
Welcome to 31 days –the idea comes from the Nester who challenges bloggers to write each day for the month of October.
The idea of this project seemed very big to me–I had already written my post, let’s be honest, I’m fat, and published it before I discovered the 31 days challenge. Maybe it was divine intervention? so I have decided to write this month about honesty/truthfulness/authenticity. We will see where this idea leads . . .
On Tuesday’s I write a Top Ten List and post with Angie at Many Little Blessings–I enjoy the top ten concept, yet needed to keep it on topic of my 31 days . . . (not sure what I’m going to do for Ultimate Recipe Swap on Thursday:-)
What I’m scared of:
- I’m scared of my kids dying.
- Not being loved.
- Water that I can’t see the bottom of–like water you might swim in or falling into a well.
- Growing old.
- Never finding my purpose.
- The amount of stuff that I have . . . the accumulation.
- Being homeless.
- My impatience or temper that has come with being menopausal–I’ve not felt this way since my youth.
- Not being heard–not the same as #2 . . .
- That I’m not a good mom–that is my biggest fear!
As this 31 days of HAT (Honesty, Authenticity, and Truth) continue I will be writing about all of the above topics.
Feel free to leave a comment or share a post.
Be Blessed.

Oh I share many of the same fears. My biggest one has always been not being able to conceive. I’ve got pregnant as a surprise with my first. Now we are trying. I hate it. Well that’s strong, but I really don’t like the waiting part…and the disappointment.
I have a chapter out of your story! I remember calling my husband at work saying “take the next train, I’m ovulating!” trying to have a baby can make you a little crazy . . . then I wondered if I would be a good mom if I was so nuts . . . turns out–I’m not the only crazy lady out there calling their husbands in the middle of the day! What a relief.
Be Blessed Mary Beth. I’ll pray for you.
Some of your honest fears are mine…glad to know I am not alone. Looking forward to the series! I love real ppl…all messy and honest!
Thanks for following! What I found out is that we are not alone–even though we feel alone–we aren’t. I wish that I had know this 10 years ago! I’m not sure that I would recognize my need but . . . you get my point!
Be Blessed.
I like your honesty about your fears. Thanks for sharing. I have a few of the same, although some I’ve already left behind; old age (had a birthday yesterday and am in my sixties, although I tell everyone I’m in my eighties and they go, “WOW!” “You look great for eighty!”), was homeless for a short while after my husband passed away four years ago (no longer fear it, now know I can survive it), very little stuff anymore as most of my belongs are in one small room now that I live with my son and family, passed through menopause (surgical menopause in late thirties) without killing anyone. I’ve enjoyed my first visit to your blog.
I’m glad you enjoyed your visit–please come back again–your wisdom of making it through the tough spots gives us hope!
Be blessed.
Renee- I like how you are integrating your 31 days challenge into your regularly scheduled posts…I am just calling mine 31 Days of Nourishment for the Soul…since I already blog each day except weekends…I will add posts on Sat/Sun to meet the challenge…fun stuff…I appreciate your honest sharing…
Thanks–it was not my intention to do this 31 day “thing”–I had it on my radar for something to do “later” but a personal invitation made me think that now is my time! We will see–at least you know I’ll be honest if I fail! Heeehhheee
Be Blessed.
Great 31 days topic! I have that same fear of not being able to see the bottom of the water. Thanks for linking up today.
thanks! I love the flowers–poppies? they look like the flowers I planted in CA. I enjoy your blog very much.
Be Blessed.
Appreciate your honesty.
Thanks–always enjoy hearing from you :-).
Be Blessed.
