What is a Winnebago?Girl, it's like an RV or camper type vehicle. It's the camper bus that flew through the ether in the opening scene of the show Breaking Bad when we, the audience, met Walter White, Chemistry teacher turned drug kingpin all while battling terminal cancer.Sorry for spoilers...it's been out for damn near 20 years so that's on you if you haven't watched it yet. Winnebago, in this context, is the vulnerability we feel when our initial attempts at our dreams FAIL. I mean FAIL in a DRAMATIC, EMBARRASSING FASHION. I mean the type of failure where there are witnesses and 'I-Told-You-Sos' from people who claim to care about you and your dreams.Give yourself grace to fight the good fight for your dream. You've been on a whole OTHER path most of your life and now you've decided to pivot....so, why do you expect this to be perfect...or, dare I say, easy...?You are learning and unlearning.You healing while still uncovering and discovering the root cause of the sickness.You are still in progress.In the Winnebago, Walter White's first attempts at selling drugs to provide for his family tap into his raw abilities as a chemistry teacher. As he discovers this "skill" (stay with me), his first bath is way above industry standard BUT that raw talent was not enough to prevent catastrophe. His "new business" begins in literal explosion, death, sirens and being stranded in his drawers in the desert. After beginner's luck usually comes beginner's struggle aka the rude awakening that tends to follow a crazy dream and that's okay.A failure doesn't mean finale. It means you're new at this.
