I love these ecards
I nearly didn’t write a Team Friday post today. There wasn’t going to be much to say, except that someone tried to steal my cool.
It never ceases to amaze me, that one single person can, with a few words, unravel you. Disarm you. Open the door to self doubt.
I’m almost embarrassed to admit I let one person have this power over me.
After working so hard to reclaim a sense of who I am, to feel good about being me, I was just going to hand it all over.
But I had forgotten about my secret weapon. An arsenal so powerful it blows my mind.
The beauty of this weapon is it’s self activating. It knows my triggers and knows what I need to conquer any adversary.
It makes me stronger, makes me more self aware and most importantly, it makes me see what is really important.
This secret weapon is my peeps. I am surrounded by some of the most amazing people and when I am in crisis they are there for me. My own amazing cheer squad has got my back.
Whether it is hours of debriefing or a simple text message, a freddo frog or sending a special bag of tea leaves (seriously happened!), this amazing bunch of humans form a weapon powerful enough to rival the fifth element.
They have the power to remind me that:
Even if sometimes they have to resort to being very literal.
So today, when I go to meet with the one who tried to steal my cool, I’m betting they didn’t count on the fact that I am keeping my cool (with ALOT of help from my friends).
Has someone ever tried to steal your cool? How did you deal with it?
Team Friday with B also helps me keep my cool

It is so good to hear that you have such a great support system – that is really cool !!!
When you meet with that person – keep that power for yourself and think of them naked – no power in nakedness !!!
Take care and have the best Friday ever.

YOU GO GIRL!!
definitely something we are all able to be encouraged and inspired by x
It’s hard when people try to steal our cool…. but I definitely dont think you should be embarrassed about it if you slip up, because look at how well and marvelously you were able to remind yourself and give yourself back the power

Thanks Lyndal. Guess I was embarrassed because I have been through it once before at work & didn’t think I would get sucked in again! Luckily I was spared
I teared up just now, reading your blog. Like a ‘climb every mountain’ moment. You rock.
So glad it all worked out well hun, for whats its worth don’t ever doubt yourself girl cuz we all dont! And yes Irene, it was a little “Climb every mountain” moment wasn’t it!
Thanks sweetheart & for your invaluable role in my cheer squad x
Aww. Thanks for being the most awesome “better half” of CIC & for all of your support xxx
It is easy to let that one person get to us sometimes. I’m glad you were quickly reminded that NO ONE, NO.ONE!, can steal your cool without your permission. I hope you kick their ass next time they try!

Thanks hun. Definitely let them know I wasn’t letting go of it anytime soon
Glad you got yourself back on track so fast. It’s YOUR cool, don’t let it fly away!!
Must say I am lucky that, just for today, there are no adults around to whom I might lose my cool. Ah but the kids… sole parenting the four of them for almost five weeks just now and my only aim is to STAY CALM, BE CALM… got to work on it, and rely a LOT on friends!!

Wow, that would be a tough gig! Definitely would be losing my cool if I was in your position Seana!! Hope you made it through the weekend ok xx
I would love it if my friends made me my very own cool card! That is awesome! Lately, I haven’t had anyone steal my cool, perhaps I was never cool to start with. :p

Of course you are! And be glad they haven’t tried – probably a testament to you being much strong than I am xxx
