I'm on a spiritual journey- a quest of body, mind, and spirit. I have already been learning valuable lessons and I have had some interesting life experiences. I am 40 and I still don't have it all figured out yet. But I'm on a path of self discovery, trying to figure it out. I am not sure what the best medium for me will be (if it will be blog, video, book or some other form), and I am still struggling to find my voice, but I think if I just start where I am... I need to start somewhere. I hope I can admit my shortcomings, celebrate my successes, and hopefully help others along the way.
I've been reading Rachel Hollis' "Girl, Stop Apologizing", and it has inspired me to take some action into embracing and achieving my goals. I have a lot of great ideas, and I've had a lot of interesting experiences. Maybe if I just start writing and sharing...
For so long I have tried to put on the front that "everything is ok". Now it's time to share my truths: my personal struggles, my hopes, my dreams, my fears. I commit to share the good, the bad, and the ugly. I commit to put myself out there. I commit to put mommy guilt aside. I commit to stop caring what others think of me. I may not always be perfect, but I commit to be myself and to keep doing the best that I can.
I believe in the power of intention, so maybe I should start by listing some of my dreams/ goals:
- Support myself and my daughter
- Visit every continent
- Visit every US state
- Travel writer
- Unlock the secrets of the 4 hour work week
- Become a New York Bestselling author
- Invest in Real Estate
- Sell on Amazon
- Become "the banker" (not a banker)
- Get an advanced degree in choral conducting
- Create the most entertaining shows that people flock to see my shows
- Grow my audiences
- Lead my chorus on the international stage
- become a successful business owner
- Have all the time that I want to spend with my daughter
- Own several businesses
- I want it all!
- Help others create connections
- Foster win-win relationships
- Write books
- Make movies
- Teach people to be better parents
- Inspire others to follow their dreams
- Be a motivational speaker
- Become an Opra or an Ellen
- Start a non profit to help single moms
- Become a music therapist
- Become a school counselor
- Lose weight
- Get married
- Have more kids
- Start my own record label
- Start my own film company
- Teach others how to get control of their finances
- Start my own clothing line
- Have a farm and sustainable living
And some of the businesses I'd like to own:
- Real Estate Investing
- Music School
- Alternative to Health Insurance
- Chick-fil-A
- Country Store and restaurant
- Penny P's Pick-your-own Pumpkin Patch
- A Production company (for live events and films)
- A recording company
- Store owner
- School of Finance
- Non-profit to help single moms
- Non-profit to provide scholarships for music and arts education
- Travel agency
- Matchmaking/ husband training business
These goals are in no particular order. As you can see, I have varied interests and I dream BIG. Some may say that they are too lofty, or that I'm too old or it's too late to start. Some of my goals may change or evolve over time. Admittedly, I may have to choose which ones are the most important bucket list items... But here they are in all their glory. So if you see me try and fail... I'm still learning. If you see me try something and then start something completely different... It may look random to you, but it's not random to me. At least I'm trying, and I'm doing, and I'm figuring it out as I go.
