When I was in highschool I was the muchiest girl there was. I would glitz up for football games, and I would paint my fingernails during math classes (every single math class since 10th grade). I was always the perky girl who didn’t really have a worry in the world, because my life was more than perfect. When I was a senior in high school, I found out that I had a brother that my mother had given up for adoption when she was younger, before she met my wonderful father. Nevertheless, this brother came into my life with open arms, acting as if we have been siblings since day one. Although I did not always cope well with sharing my mother all of the sudden, with a 25 year old who was clearly going places in life, I did push though the practical jokes of funnels in my work bag, and switching my clothes with those that I would never wear in public, and found a unique relationship with my half-brother, Alexander. The next year, he got married to a wonderful woman names Alex (THIS IS NOT A JOKE.. BOTH OF THEIR NAMES WERE ALEX..canadians…). Alex and Alex decided to move to the states, and found a nice apartment in Bergenfield where they would stay for the winter at least, and commute back and forth from Toronto to here during the summer. It was nice for a while, until the world came crashing down around me. This new life that I was starting to become accustomed to took a turn for the worst. Memorial Day weekend of 2010, Alex was on his way to the New Jersey Shore when he was hit by a drunk driver. He was in a coma for days until June 1st when he woke up in heaven.
Since this, I have been much less muchy. I was less social. I would snap at people, and even see myself under a different life, always doubting what I could have made of my relationship with Alex.
However, with the help of Tova Gold, and findingmymuchness.com, I am taking a 30 day challenge to refind myself through refinding my joy.. The website is a unique spin on happiness, that challenges you to do the things that make you happy. At the end of the thirty days, people have said that they feel much muchier, and that they have found joy again after horrible tragedies such as loosing children. There are also people who aren’t quite sure how they lost their muchness. The point of the website it to reaquaint you to yourself while using the support of others who are in the same dilema.
So! anyone feeling down or less muchy from how they used to be should check out Findingmymuchness.com, and read about muchness.. Who knows, maybe you might even find it beneficial to do the thirty day challenge… If you are one of those people who is already in touch with the much, maybe you could comment on other people’s muchness of the day pics and comments, and make their day by relating to a topic, or answering a question..
