If this were a normal week, when you arrived at this page you would be greeted with an email exchange interview I had done with an incredibly engaging guest. We would go back and forth with witty banter that strung together illuminating questions and deep and insightful answers. However this is not a typical week. I believe I can accurately describe my emotional state for a great part of this week in 1 photo.
The week I just endured has been one of the most emotionally draining, mentally taxing, soul depleting and spiritually recharging weeks of my entire life. I have humbled beyond what I thought I could bear only to follow that up with being elevated beyond what I could have possibly conceived for myself at this juncture in my life.
Needless to say that the interview I had planned for this week's Free Talk Friday post did not get completed.
2 fingers of bourbon
As my week progressed and it became more and more apparent that I would not meet my deadline I thought about possible solutions. I could have rushed the article out, I could have done a 2 part interview, posted a day late, not posted at all with no explanation. Each option I thought of was increasing unsatisfactory and seemed to deviate more and more from the spirit of what I am trying to build here.
Eventually the solution presented itself to me in the form of occam's razor. The solution I choose is to continue my interview, plan for it to be posted next Friday use this Free Talk Friday's post to not only bring you inside of my week but use this as a set up for Monday's post.
Whiskey, neat
Looking back on this past week there are a lot of lessons that can be learned that I would like to share with you. Thus with Monday's I will be bringing you inside my week from hell in hopes that some of the lessons that I have learned can be a benefit to you without life repeatedly kicking you in balls.
If I have managed to string together enough sentences in a coherent manner, that I can't wait to see you on Monday. If not, than the past week has driven me into literal insanity and you might as well keep reading because how often do you get to read the ramblings of a crazy person?
Either way enjoy your weekend and I will see you with an exciting tale on Monday.
