Your Fellow Human

What if it all worked out? What if you took a chance and it was better than you imagined?

Today I want to introduce you to Ornella a human that chooses to hold on to her sweet side. I’ve found parts of society tries to hold back and at times even criticize women who lead with gentleness; truth is it is a strength to show someone a softness, a smile, and the sweetness in us first, and I’m so grateful for women like Ornella who do just that

Ornella is one that will see you, make you feel welcome, but do so with a genuine and gentle spirit, giving you space to be yourself but letting you know “you are welcome here” in how she interacts with you

We chat about what it means to be a mix of an introvert and an extrovert, how maybe it isn’t all so black and white as we used to be told. We talk about how the presence of one person in her life can calm her and the value of health to know those she loves, and herself can continue to pursue whatever life puts in front of her

She shares how being bullied as a kid impacted her as an adult, how it led her to question and learn to accept parts of herself, and how it causes her to seek to see another with intention 

We chat about the joy in time spent with others, how opening up our home and what it means to have that space to share with others, how seeing someone’s needs and what will bring them joy beyond a moment allows others to feel cared for, and how accepting the right to our own happiness is enough to pursue the life you dream of 

Ornella is one that I could sit and chat with all day, someone who reminds me it’s ok to just be myself, someone who will ask with a desire to know, and someone who will remind you It’s ok to be soft and sweet 

So tune in and meet Ornella, and be reminded that who you are is worth all the happiness in the world, that it’s ok to not have it all figured out, and to give grace to those who love you

And to you Ornella thank you, thank you for taking the time to share a blanket in the sand, for seeing me, for reminding me the joy it brings you to have friends in your home, for the way you honestly shared about your life, and the honor it is to get to know you. Can’t wait to see you again soon my friend and don’t ever lose your sweet spirit
