TMB: From Fear to Freedom

November 18, 2018 By Caroline Trudeau 1 Comment

Reading Time: < 1 minute

 

When I started using my voice to express who I am and stand in my truth, without the constraints of an establishment’s rules dictating my expectations or requiring a certain behavior, I began a journey to finding my words.

I’ve been practicing using my words to describe my present reality and my wishes for the future for more than a year.  I feel more creative, more focused and more empowered than ever. 

The last 2 weeks have been full of inspiration and significance.  Of revelations that listening to myself deeply, intently, patiently and most importantly compassionately has been the best practice of my life so far.  My words can only become more impactful and inspiring as I continue this practice.

What I used to experience as fear of missing out, I now regard as freedom of choice. I am thankful for my instincts and my ability to trust my intuition.  

I am free.  Free to be me. 

And that makes me happy.

It’s Katia Estrada. I go back to the 1900s with this one, to the #AOL #Tucson call center days.

In fact, on May 14, 2000, she is the one that picked me up, right here at @dulles_airport. I was at the end of a one-way trip that would change my life.  I was relocating to Northern Virginia from the desert, for work. I was 24. 

It’s good to see you old friend. Let’s do that again 🙏🏼❤️💋 22 years later.
I often get asked what I drive. I think naturally, I often get asked what I drive. I think naturally, many people assume I am going to answer with some kind of fancy #German #luxury item. 🖤❤️💛

I drive a 2008 @jeep Wrangler.  A JK. 🇺🇸

It’s pretty basic and it zips around town like a boss.  It goes topless and it’s been paid for, for more than decade.

I got it brand new in the spring of 2009. I was 33 and I had a vision: to be that 50 year-old lady that drives the cool #Wrangler. 

My loyalty is to this #Jeep. To the sky above my head. To the crazy hair. To playing music a smidge too high. To driving on the beach. To tailgating and picnicking. To chasing sunsets. To waving to strangers. ✌🏼

To freedom and adventure. And getting closer to being that #cool. 

Thanks @bullrun4x4 🙏🏼. 5⭐️
