Long story short… I own lemons.
“Life gave me lemons, so I’m drinking, cooking, eating,
blogging, vlogging, creating products, traveling around the world
photographing…LEMONS, and when I’m done, I’ll write a book and a movie about
it. Long story short…I own lemons.”-The unofficial bio of the GYC Girl (YOU Crazy)
We have all heard the phrase, “when life gives
you lemons, make lemonade.” If not…well…HELLO!
In the middle of August, I was randomly
stacking books in my room and came across Virginia
Euwer Wolff’s Make Lemonade,
which I read in middle school…I’m not
sure if I fully understood why the book had that title… then, but now, I don’t
care that’s not the point of this post…just how we arrived here! Okay? Okay
*wink & smile.
So, when I saw this book…
I was reminded of the entire phrase and its meaning of
perspective (which, I LOVE because perspective changes EVERYTHING!!!)… And from
there, my thoughts started to create…
A 2013 GYC Girl YOU
Crazy version of
“When life gives you
lemons.”
…Welcome!!!
“Own your talent, employ your entire self.”-How to release the broke mindset
because broke is not a circumstance
...HELLO SOMEBODY!!!
“If YOU were told that YOU are more talented than you
know…would YOU allow that talent to breathe?”-Talent
Do YOU recall “Positioned
to Succeed”??? Well, let’s take always having a direction to go… to another
level…
Life gave me lemons so, I AM Making…
+ Lemonade
+ Lemon Meringue Pie and/or Lemon Bars (I’m interested in both)
+ Blogging about it
+ Then… Making a video about it/Vlog
+ Concocting a Lemon scented citrus perfume and/or Lemon scented
cleanser
+ Traveling around the world capturing photos of Lemons; calling the
photo collection “Lemons of the World”
+ Writing a book about my Lemon journey
+ Later… Selling the rights or obtaining a grant to produce the book turned
movie based on my Lemon Journey
“Girl YOU Crazy”…ONLY if YOU don’t!!!
Note To Self:
Open your mind to see and Use your talent for your purpose filled vision,
or your talent will be used to fulfill another’s vision… and that just might
keep you from accessing your yet to be birthed talents (that’s right, talent on
talent!!!). GYC Side Note: Remember, “I got
a voice and I use it.”
............................
Standing in a moment of non-nosey
Opening each door of yet to be birthed
Opportunity
Life gave me lemons…
So walk with me on my journey!
Life gave YOU talent, OWN IT and WORK EVERY BIT OF IT!!!
Long
story short…
I own lemons.

How to Walk Worthy
“Honesty of self will always look good on you.”-Your Mirror
“Worthy is an attitude formed within, stemmed from truth and
carried out.”-The definition of worthy
I think one of my most used phrases of GYC is definitely “walk worthy”…
Whether you are the person saying,
“Yes Girl,”
“Here we go again…”
Or “what is she
talking about???”
You’ve seen it, and agreed or disagreed with
it!
It’s cool… either way that’s why I’m writing
this post…
One night, last week, I was attempting to go to
sleep…pjs on, lights out, computer off…but my thoughts kept going!!
I’m thinking
what is left to say in this day…and I soon realized… what was left to say was a
reminder for tomorrow and all the other days to follow:
Walk worthy where I’m called, no matter how I’m feeling or decisions I’m facing.
And then,
The “How to” instructions started
pouring in…and I just have to share them with YOU!!!
Side Note: The content of this post was written in
the dark, on my phone, and in a text message draft. “When the inner self
is talking…let it talk and you better listen!”
So, lets get into it!!!
How to Walk Worthy
1. Know who you are.
I know it’s simply stated (often) but
many times the truth of it is found in what do you answer to? There
are times when a situation will happen and YOU, ME, WE may respond like humans,
which may be out of character but nevertheless…it happens, and people may try
to trash/take/mar/diminish/strip you of WHO YOU say YOU ARE. But when the drama cools down, everyone
goes their separate ways, and you’re left with your own thoughts… do
you know who you are outside of people’s commentary.
GYC Side Note: Over the years, I’ve noticed that
people will say certain things to me because they know it takes a lot for
outside comments to bother me…and I will simply carry on. BUT as I started to
grow in WHO I am and realize different depths of my worth…the things people said still
didn’t bother me but the fact that people thought they could say these things to
me…DID, it demonstrated what I allowed/tolerated, which didn’t
affirm/agree/uplift my worth and who I know I am. If I continue to allow them to be
present in my life or present as if nothing happened…well, YOU tell me!
Because I know who I am, I am going to walk worthy.
2. Know what you stand for.
When we know
who we are…what we stand for follows.
3. Know what you deserve.
When we know who we are, what we stand
for…what we deserve shall not be compromised, even when LIFE happens.
4. Admit to yourself when you are weak.
When life
happens and/or you feel like you lack in abilities or courage, etc. admit it to
yourself, be honest, allow for error, forgive yourself…just because we know WHO
we are doesn’t make us perfect but it will continue to qualify us as worthy.
5. Welcome strength.
After you admit when you’re weak…welcome
strength because it comes from within…and will always be available.
We are worthy of strength when we’re weak. Keep walking…life isn’t over!
6. Encourage yourself.
Everyday, we live an inspirational
story. What’s your story?
7. Remind yourself daily, hourly, in times of focus and un-focus that WE,
YOU are designed with great purpose and have been enabled to fulfill it.
8. Respect yourself, your journey and the journey of others...we are all in
the process of something.
9. Take joy like medicine.
10.
Remember the fact that you are designed
with purpose means your life has promise...allow it to be fulfilled.
And lastly,
11.
Keep your head up, throw your shoulders
back and believe that you're worthy, humbly with confidence.
Defeating Crazy with Courageous,
Lauren Alicia… Miss GYCGirl…Walking Worthy!!!
P.S. All the crazy in the world couldn’t stop
the courage that lives within...so demonstrate it!
Live YOUR Worth.
