My Mission

 I am on this mission to find my purpose and I won't stop until I get there. I am gainfully employed but I have fallen into a career path that just isn't fulfilling to who I am, what I stand for and who I want to be. I don't have enough satisfaction anymore from it. You can be successful at something but that doesn't mean it is satisfying to you. I am in the process now of sorting all of this out. I want to work with a company that empowers working parents and really supports them. Or a company that is fighting for change in society and making a difference. 

My husband is super supportive of all my ideas. There are days he tells me this is the hand I was dealt in the moment. But the hand I have right now isn't good enough. I need the flush baby (is that the best hand? I don't gamble) or whatever the best hand is...that is what I want!

Because I was destined for GREAT and AMAZING things. And they will come. 

I have laid the groundwork to my own Nonprofit in the meantime. But I haven't gone to the next steps to officially launch and start operating. But Rome wasn't built in a day either, so this will take some time. 

I also have fears with it all, that I will fail. I have accepted failure before even really starting! But anything new is scary and uncomfortable.  These feelings are normal and valid! 

And it is difficult to do all of this with two little girls in tow and two fur babies, a household to run, bills to pay, Doctors visits, packing weekly lunches, finding the perfect water cup for your toddler, birthday parties, endless laundry to do...you get it! But you know what is more difficult? Not pursuing this. What would I be teaching my children? Don't chase your dreams and just settle. Hell no!

Never settle and no one really should. Keep dreaming and living and pushing the envelope in your own life. Ask for the raise or promotion, apply for jobs you don't qualify for or launch the business you dreamed of. No one is going to do this for you! We have to learn to become our own advocates day in and day out, in every facet of our lives. 

I will continue to share my endless thoughts with the world out here. Some blogs will be comical stories of the circus at our house and others more serious and emotion filled. I feel like I lost myself for a while before I had children and lost my voice, started to forgo my passions. 

But this girl is on fireeee! That song plays on blast in our house. Stay tuned and be kind to yourself and others.
