"Coming together is a beginning; keeping it together is progress; working together is success." - Henry Ford
"Be careful what you ask for" is completely relevant in my life right now. In the last five years I have set to live my life with more intent. I take the time out to set daily, weekly, monthly, yearly goals for myself. And you'll never guess what has happened? EVERYTHING I ask for finds its way to me. Is it perfect? NOT AT ALL! But I ride the waves because I know in the end, I win!
My kids are growing and thriving and I feel we have finally felt our groove...who cares that they are now 5 and 7 years old and it's taken us this long. ;) Progress is progress and I'm enjoying it. Of course, now that I feel like we got it...things are changing. I have BOTH of my kids in elementary school. This means double parent meetings, double homework and double the activities! But I'm going to put it out into the Universe now that everything is working in my favor. All good things come to me and I will work this schedule like the best of all time! Please excuse my mid-blog pep talk. :)
So, I wrote this before school started in August but never published. I'm sure Mommy brain caused me to forget about the three half written blogs.
Fast forward to November 2014; life is still a crazy mix of kids, school, work, business building, relationship building, family time, holidays, and birthday parties and on and on and on and ON! Thankfully, I am finding the time to focus on the things that matter the most to me. I've learned so far that the main goal is to make sure I am 100% and then I can give 100%. I recognized this early on but did not always execute it successfully. Insert a few anxiety attacks and days of feeling truly overwhelmed....my therapist (yes, I live in LA area it's a pre-requisite) told me to ASK for help, say NO, and most importantly, take time out for myself.
Mommies let's do our best to give to our families and most importantly to ourselves!
Until Next Time,
JK
