My journey began in college, thanks to a professor and a dear friend. I felt that I had always been a person to live life to the fullest, so it didn't seem a difficult challenge to make "my bucket list". For a while, it was easy crossing things off my list. Then life changed. As it always does, and will always continue to do. Life threw a couple of curveballs my way, and though I was able to take a swing at them, it has left me with a feeling of "unfinished dreams".
So, my journey has begun.. to what extremes do we go to, to "live life to it's fullest?" When or do we "change" our dreams?

A new door...

Wow, I can't believe I neglected this journal for so long. It was one that helped me put all my tangled thoughts into something that made sense. I do have to say, that part of that was because my email got hijacked, and I created a new one. Along with that came the fear of a "stolen identity", so I quickly reset the passwords to all my online accounts. In the midst of changing, I lost track of this account. But alas, I am back. I am here to write my jumbled thoughts, and to continue on my journey of finding myself, while giving 90% to those around me.
As of late, I have been craving for something to make me feel as though I am progressing in this world. As a stay at home mom, I don't exactly have a "corporate ladder" to climb, with a goal of a view from the top. I need something in my life to feel that I am headed somewhere, other than the room where my youngsters are throwing food like confetti.
I have made some new goals for my "bucket list of 2011". I am trying to publish my children's book, continue building my photography business, and eventually have a studio in home.
Picking up where I left off, I made a few phone calls to see if what hoops I would have to jump through to be able to take one last slide at the bobtrack, and let's just say they wanted an arm and a leg. Since I need all four of the ones I have to keep up with my kids, I've put my sled up for sale.
I have mixed emotions about seeing it go, but one of my new resolves is to stop doing the things I am good at, and focus on the things I am GREAT at. I just finished a book aptly named "Aspire", by Kevin Hall, and one of the things that inspired me was that line. I was good at skeleton, but I wasn't great at it. And with closing a door, I am looking forward to the one that will soon be opened. Though I am sure no one is reading this page anymore, just in case I had a couple devout followers, I hope that you all will be able to find what you are GREAT at in 2011.
Until next time, which will be later this week...
I have to say I have always loved writing, so this is something I am going to pursue. I promise to be better at keeping this up to date.
