Are You Making Space for Your Growth and Grace?
Personal growth and fulfillment are experienced when you decide to activate your urgency and be all of your greatest possibilities. This space was curated for me to journal my journey through my vulnerability by showing you what dreams look like from imagination to realization. My growth pleasures and pains will be shared about the highlighted topics on my banner: Visionary hasn't been listed, but it's the reason for me doing this.
At a later time, I would love to invite you by developing a virtual community for you to also develop and share your imaginations while you realize them. Let's grow together and reciprocate within a pay-space and grace-space. If this interests you, send me an email at kim.costner@beingmedaily.org or a text to 716-806-5455 to say, "I'm interested", and I'll add you to my list for you to be updated.

~Making Space for My Growth and Grace is Necessary~
'DREAMER'
"Being the 'Dreamer' always allows me to see who I'm being, even when I haven't actually lived it out yet. The visualization becomes real for me, because I see it through. When I dream it, I know it's meant for me. It can be a 'daydream' or a 'night dream'. Either way, it's my dream."
I'm building out this platform to represent my 'being me daily' vibe. Being a multidimensional woman with the depth of colorful paths serves me well. I am the requirement who is doing what's required. Sometimes I make time to pause, because I realize that's required too.
There was a time when I didn't have a platform, and now I do. This is where I get to commend myself for starting something I can build upon.
Until the next time, be true to you, daily.

'AUTHOR'
"Being the 'Author' reminds me that I'm able to write. I needed to go beyond being able though. I had to become willing, deliberate, focused, disciplined and all the things for me to actually make 'it' happen. Writing it, completing it, and positioning it on platforms to sell it. And voila, my E-book Enhancing Me So I Can Shine: Deciding to Live With a Better Me is available on Amazon."
This is what I learned, I'm not great at marketing. Just because I wrote my E-book and made it available to sell, doesn't mean it's going to get sales without me pushing it. I knew this, but I didn't do this (push and push and push it). With me being the 'beingmedaily.org' girl (woman), I need to be honest when I tell you, my book has made very minimal sales. You can learn from my shortcomings, and I have plenty for you to learn from.
My E-book was published on April 12, 2020, during the height of our COVID-19 pandemic. This is also the timeframe when I was about to be laid off (later in the month of April) from my Office Manager/Intake Coordinator position. Even with me having a full-time job, I had aspirations of writing a book, and I was adamant about seeing this through. So, I did.
Here I am four+ years later, and I'm deciding (like right now in this moment) to push my book. Yep, I'm doing it. You want to know why? With me knowing this is the first book I wrote, it's four+ years old, and it's not currently a best seller, I still believe in my book. The content is practical and relevant. You learn how to navigate your real-life challenges. You see how shifting your mind flow means getting life changing outcomes from the simplicity of taking on alternative perspectives. Guess what? I knew this E-book had lifelong learning material, so I purchased my own copy for myself back then. Here's a snippet of my Amazon purchasing screen shot (see below).
I'm all in with knowing investing in yourself is crucial. You are your ROI (Return on Investment). Think about it. If you don't believe in you, trust you, be the you that you envisioned, or do what it takes to make it happen, you'll get exactly what you invested in, FRUSTRATION.
Let me take this a step further since I'm already out here stepping up my marketing game, betting on myself, and simply showing you my vulnerability because that's really what this space is all about. Here's my E-book with a link for you to click and purchased at Amazon.com.
In the meantime, and until the next time, be true to you, daily.

'JOURNALER'
I am a 'Journaler' who's been writing my thoughts down for at least fifty + years. I always liked being the one who took the notes whenever I was a part of a childhood club or group. If we needed to remember what we talked about or what ideas we came up with during our meetings, I was the one who was eager to look back and recall from the notes that I had taken. This probably had a lot to do with me becoming a Journaler throughout my years of transition.
Journaling has so many benefits. When you look back over your writings, it provides you with pictures and vivid memories from so many areas during your lifetime. You're literally reminded of what you were thinking and experiencing during different times in your life. Coming across discussions you had or feelings you felt in times past, puts you back in that place for a moment. Sometimes you're reminded of loved ones that are no longer physically present, yet you're able to cherish your memories of them. Journaling is a great resource for reminding you of how precious life really is, and how important it is to cherish your people and your moments in real-time.
As a progression, journaling is great for capturing your intentions. When you decide to be and do, journaling is a willing participant to partner with, for capturing your moments of achievement. Reading about those moments are actual and factual gratifying sums of fulfillment that you get to live with for the rest of your days.
Until the next time, be true to you, daily.

'PODCASTER'
Being a 'Podcaster' is something that I truly enjoy being because it stretches me from my zone of comfort. It's so interesting that I'm doing this. For so many of my prior years, I lived with abandoning my voice. It wasn't that I didn't speak at all, but I definitely had some years where I didn't express myself the way I needed to within my real-time moments. I was really good at supporting someone else when they voiced their opinions (as I still do), and I was also really good at neglecting so many moments where my voice could have been extremely impactful by advocating for myself. I don't have any regrets though. However, I'm sharing this with you because I'm sure you can relate, and hopefully this resonates enough to activate you.
Being a model for activation is what I do. Often, with hesitation, apprehension, and all the things that make me want to withhold myself from making a move at all. And there's also this thing called 'being courageous'. I'm becoming addicted to it. Here's why. I'm so invested in doing things even when it's scary, because that's where my growth is. On the other side of me overcoming the scary things. This means I must have courage in order for me to be courageous.
It's very possible that I'm on the road to developing my own YouTube channel where I'll launch my podcast there too. This remains to be seen, and it will also mean, having more courage. Eeeeek. A prime example of me having to pace myself and give myself grace for my next better moments. Lord knows I'm all about my personal growth.
Until the next time, be true to you, daily.
