I have worked many hours the past few weeks developing content and activities for this website and building my own personal site www.SweetFrau.online. The SweetFrau site was a smaller project. It was fast and easy to construct. The Superhero Unfolding site is a much larger undertaking, and remains a work in progress. The site's main purpose is to describe SU projects. However, it also aspires to be a resource for budding superheroes. In order to achieve this, content and contacts must be located, researched, developed and added on a daily basis. This involves a great deal of time and attention. I can't say that this is really "work." It is a labor of love.
I have also created a facebook page for both the SU and SF websites. In the process, I have learned a great deal about the time it takes to maintain a dynamic online presence. And, my desire to exist in the realms of social media. Initially, I had planned an Instagram presence, but after sitting in on a "How to Sell through Instagram" webinar, I thought... yeah, that's not for me, that is just not what I want to do. As it stands right now, SU is a one person project. With limited time and resources, I have opted to focus on developing/providing quality content and reaching out to people through the project website and the facebook page. So, I'll give it a go and see what happens. Today's confession: I am afraid that opportunities to connect with people will be lost because I cannot maintain a presence on every social media platform out there. I am also well aware of the fact that to do so is impossible and choices needed to be made. Today's insight: I can't be all things to all people. When presented with multiple options and limited time, I need to make sure that I make the best choice for myself. My choice must be based on what feels right, what feels doable, enjoyable and exciting. It must not be based on FOMO. (fear of missing out). Decisions based in fear are rarely constructive.

Today a thought on the benefit of adversity...
"Courage is born of adversity." -SweetFrau Courage can only be viewed against the backdrop of adversity. Without obstacles and challenges, courage cannot be expressed or witnessed. Adversity provides an opportunity to open to a situation with a trusting curiosity or to shut down in fear. Courage is the result of opening. It allows us to grow past fear. When I think of courage, I think of chicks. In the process of hatching, a chick tears down the protective barrier of the only world it has ever known, because it is limiting its growth. It emerges from its shell into the unknown, a place full of things it has never experienced. And, so it grows. Wishing you a wonderful day, sweet hatchlings!

"Vulnerability is not weakness, and the uncertainty, risk, and emotional exposure we face every day are not optional. Our only choice is a question of engagement. Our willingness to own and engage with our vulnerability determines the depth of our courage and the clarity of our purpose; the level to which we protect ourselves from being vulnerable is a measure of our fear and disconnection." - Brené Brown For more inspiration https://www.superherounfolding.online/additional-authors.ht… Wishing you a day of courageous clarity!

"No one is you and that is your power." - Dave Grohl This morning I am thinking about how each of us is an amalgam of that which we have encountered and experienced. How every breath I've taken, every action I've made, every place I've been, every person I've met, every tear I've shed, every smile I've worn, every thing I've ever seen, done, said, heard, felt, thought, believed and experienced, has lead me to creating this post. A fantastic feat masquerading as mundane. And you've come here, too! How awesome is that? For more inspiration visit... https://www.superherounfolding.online Fly on, Superhero. Fly on! A short and sweet reminder from author Cheryl Strayed to inspire resilience.
“Every last one of us can do better than give up.” -Cheryl Strayed For more inspiration visit... https://www.superherounfolding.online/cheryl-strayed.html Fly on, Superhero! Today a few thought on being heroic.
“To be heroic may mean nothing more than this then, to stand in the face of the status quo, in the face of an easy collapse into the madness of an increasingly chaotic world and represent another way.” - Mike Alsford “To be heroic does not have to mean possessing the ability to stand against the evils of the world, either well or successfully, but just that one is willing to stand.” - Mike Alsford For more inspiration visit... https://www.superherounfolding.online/quotes--poems.html Fly on, Superhero! A few thoughts on appreciation today from heroes past and present.
“If the only prayer you ever say in your entire life is thank you, it will be enough.” – Meister Eckhart “Appreciation can make a day, even change a life. Your willingness to put it all into words is all that is necessary.” – Margaret Cousins "The more one does and sees and feels, the more one is able to do, and the more genuine may be one's appreciation of fundamental things like home, and love, and understanding companionship." - Amelia Earhart "I think everybody deserves an equal amount of appreciation whether how old they are, but I mean, I'm cool with the praise. I'm good." - Billie Eilish Fly on, Superhero!

“There is a vitality, a life force, an energy. A quickening that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one you in all of time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and will be lost. The world will not have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is, nor how it compares with other expressions. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly... to keep the channel open. You do not even have to believe in yourself or your work... you have to keep open and aware.” -Martha Graham Fly on, Superhero!
