LOST IN THE LABELS

Labels are natural to the human mind. You have the ability to and the habit of labeling everything. You 'tag' people, places, pets, personas, habits, vices, shoot... you even label the things that adorn your home. For example, the pillow I'm laying on is fluffy, but it could very easily be labeled as soft, comfortable, ergonomic or clean. 

While this is a silly example of harmlessly labeling a pillow, it's exactly the same way that we label a person. He's a narcissist, she's a dumb blonde, they're uneducated, she's fat, he's a pansy... 

The danger about labeling anything is that, there are likely many other ways to 'tag' that very same object or person.

This December, as we wrap up this insane 2020 year, I’m celebrating a HUGE personal win. I paid off ALL my consumer debt!!! This is a massive accomplishment for many reasons but more importantly it feels like the start of a new chapter. I got myself into mountains of consumer debt due to the financial difficulties of single mom-dom and the expense of conflict post-divorce. (SCREEEEECH)… Hold the phone, you can’t tell me that you believe that my debt was 100% due to me being a victim to financial hardship. No, you’re right, I had also purchased shoes, clothes, plane tickets, concert tickets, drinks, food and many many other things that contributed to my happiness, while navigating hardship.

Let me tell you, that happiness was fleeting once I realized that the combination of all of these expenses added up to a financial crutch that I never planned on facing. You see, I had used a system called shopping math to justify my spending and fashion habit, as my credit card debt climbed. Today’s episode might be helpful for you if you have the tendency to over-consume during the holiday season. Enjoy!

The holidays are filled with laughter, joy and quality time with family and friends. It’s the time of year that you’re ‘supposed’ to look forward to ALL year. However, this year, as I scan the landscape of this painful year. I see the struggle, pain, hardship, grief, and loss that many have faced. Today I became overwhelmed with sadness as I reflected on the loss that my new family has experienced in 2020. I got married in 2019 to my wonderful husband, Ken. We were blessed to have his father attend our wedding even though his struggle with cancer was growing. In April, my father-in-law left us to be with Christ and left an enormous hole in the hearts of each one of us.

As I sat with my sadness today, I realized that the tag I am wearing is actually ‘yearning’. I was yearning to call my father-in-law and ask him how he’s feeling, ask him about what he’s had to eat today and see if he’s jumped on his favorite mower. As the holidays approach, the ‘yearning’ is growing and there is sadness that he won’t be here with us to celebrate Christmas. We can’t always remove tags that are painful and uncomfortable. You would never remove the yearning you have for a love one lost. If you are aching for someone special today, you’re not alone.

Have you ever seen a beautiful woman who walks with swift confidence or a man who seems to not have a care in the world because he's so sure of himself that he doesn't notice that there's even a word that represents insecurity?

Do you think that these people are ALWAYS confident?

Today's episode will shine a light on the tag 'false confidence'.

A few episodes back I shared a story about Mrs. Pruitt, my softball coach from high school. Many of you had a strong response to the story about this teacher and coach that had effected my decision to continue or not continue, rather, in athletics my sophomore year of high school. 

Today we will dive into the subject of teacher that are bullies. 

Were you deeply effected by a teacher, professor, boss or coach?

What are the tags you have attached because of this interaction?

You roll your eyes every time you hear the tag 'influencer', you may think of a fashion blogger or a professional snowboarder, who has hundreds of thousands, if not, millions of followers on Instagram. What if influencer means so much more then likes, follows and comments on social media. 

Take a different look into the tag 'influencer' on today's episode.

If you observe the political landscape of The United States, we've come to a place where it seems there aren't a lot of conversations happening between those who are 'red' and those who are 'blue'. Today we dive into the tag 'openminded'. 

Which tag do you wear 'closed-minded' or 'open-minded'?

The world, overall, is designed for people who wake with the sun and sleep through the night. My entire life I wondered what it would be like to pop out of bed sunny, cheery and full of life at 6am. 

However, this has never been me, it's been a struggle my entire life to wear the tag 'morning person'. 

I'm a 'night-owl', through and through, it's not necessarily a tag that I love wearing but I've learned that it is part of my wiring despite my years of trying to change it. 

Today's episode will touch on the tag 'night-owl'

There are three different ways that foreign language tags arrive in your life. These are tags that you attach that don't or shouldn't make sense to you. 

1. When someone you like, love or admire says something to you that doesn't make sense. It can be something that is meant to hurt or confuse you. It can be something that they believe about you but you know isn't true.

2. When a stranger says something to you that's offensive. In your complete shock that a COMPLETE stranger said this to you, you dismiss it. However, later you might circle back and attach a related tag after analyzing the details of the foreign interaction.

3. When a number of strangers are talking to each other, not you. You overhear something that's said that happens to spur an emotional injury inside you. You attach tags based on the assumption you're making about what people must say about you behind your back.
