I have been described as kaleidoscopic before. And I tend to agree with the description. I have many facets and in isolation it would be easy to see nothing but a bag of contradictions. For example:
- I am good at setting and enforcing boundaries but I will move mountains for the benefit of my family (even if means I encroach my boundaries a little, or a lot.)
- I have no problem pissing people off and upsetting them standing up for myself but more and more I can justify less and less occasions where I pissing others off
- I give no weight to convention, just because others have done it before me doesn’t make it right, necessary or better but I am getting married, at least in part, for conventions sake
- I am a super calm person who handles stress well yet I break down into borderline panic attacks when I go to plan my wedding
- I am not materialistic and competitive but I fear I may have a bridezilla lurking inside of me that is
Can you see a pattern emerging? Let me spell it out for you. I am a normal, healthy, happy, reasonable, capable, compassionate, down to earth, confident woman except when it comes to all things wedding planning.
Just writing this post has me biting my nails. Is it any wonder that I have been engaged for 4 years without so much as throwing an engagement party or setting a wedding date?
What crazy thing is your Achilles heel?
I LOVE this post today. Get it happening girl – a wedding is just another area where you can utilise your fabulously creative flair and organisational expertise. Of course it’s also about you and your man but really… it’s easy. Maybe you just need to make a start… take the first step (leap) (no expectations) and see where it takes you. Take your search far and wide and see where you end up.
I’m not sure what my achilles heel might be – i’ll have to come back to you on that.
LOL. I think mine would be my pride. It can be worse than a man’s ego!
