Happy FAT Tuesday?

Happy FAT Tuesday?

***Spoiler alert: No, not really.***

Like many of you, this last year has been a doozy. The universe tried, in very creative ways, to strip away items that will no longer serve me in the new year and beyond. I’ve experienced two car wrecks, two burglaries; I’ll soon be completing my sixth move during the last twelve months, and have taken on caring for the lives of two baby ferrets. 

“Push forward with more GOSPA,” is the advice I typically receive, however, letting go and giving into the process has been largely more beneficial during this metamorphosis. I’ve been lead into a new hobby, progressed in a giant way in painting, achieved fame and fun on TikTok, and finally found stable employment after several years of active searching. 

So, is everything resolved now? Can we relax and celebrate for FAT Tuesday?

Well…?  (in a Samantha Stevens tone)

No, not really. 

  • My time in technology tells me that FAT stands for File Allocation Table
  • My time on social media tells me that PHAT stands for Pretty Hot and Tasty
  • My time in quarantine tells me that FAT means overweight. 

Now, my current life is telling me that FAT stands for:

Faithful 

Available

Teachable

How this new definition will manifest into my new life is yet to be experienced. However, I understand it to be the following:

Faithful - True to one’s USP and life vision

Available - Showing up, even on the not-so-great days (of which there have been many).

Teachable - Willing to learn in NEW ways. 


So, is everything resolved now? Can we relax and celebrate for FAT Tuesday?


Well…?  (in a Samantha Stevens tone)


No, not really.


Now it comes time to actually live these values.

Good luck to everyone. Happy FAT Tuesday.
