The past few weeks has been a whirl wind!! I’m grateful for this opportunity to be able to focus on myself and my family. Has it been easy? Hell NO!! I wrote that with a smile on my face because I am okay with this process not being perfect. The last time I posted a blog was in February. I hate that I haven’t dedicated more time towards something I am doing for ME.
I realized something important over this past week…I AM A WOMAN of many titles!! I wear many hats and I am great at taking care of people. What I am not good at is catering to my needs and goals. I have never been the type to make excuses for my decisions. I was faced with a harsh truth this past week. I was having a conversation with my husband, I told him I was thinking about re-doing my blog site. He responded, “you don’t even post/write anymore.” I was slightly offended because it’s my fault and I am in control of that. So that made me think a bit more about how I handle things on a daily basis and how I should organize my days to make time. Sounds easy right?
I am a WOMAN
I am a WOMAN who is a wife
I am a WOMAN who is a mother
I am a WOMAN who is a cook
I am a WOMAN who is a doctor
I am a WOMAN who is a transitioning Soldier
I am a WOMAN who is a student
I am a WOMAN who is a friend/sister
….And the list goes on.
Trust me, I am not complaining! I love my life and the things I can give people. I just have to squeeze myself in to my own life. How can I control and focus on my destiny? I have ideas, dreams, and goals too. Every time I have a minute to myself, guess what I want to do? Sleep! Now I don’t want this post to sound like I am ungrateful and sad because I’m not. This is me controlling my destiny today. I can’t speak for tomorrow or next day, but this is my start. It’s so much that I want to accomplish and I AM going to do just that.
