Worth It

     I love to help people achieve their dreams.  One of the ways I have done that is by weight loss counseling.  Actually, that was the first place that I learned that I loved to help people figure out what they want and how to get there.  I met with hundreds of people.  That job was when I learned to help people dream their dreams and break them into doable pieces.  It was awesome.  I am excited because I am getting to work with someone again to help this person see dreams come to life.  I want to help people breathe life into their dreams.  Let them see the great big things that God has. 
     After meeting with the person the first time, I drove home in the clouds.  I love to help people dream.  It is the best feeling to see that spark in someone's eye that tells you maybe, just maybe, they believe what you are saying.  They believe this dream that they have had for such a long time, this dream they had hidden in the basement of their life somewhere, a long time ago, could actually happen.  They are worth this dream.  You are worth it.  Dust off that dream you had.  Go find it.  Hunt for it until you know what it is.  Then tell yourself, "I am worth it."  You are worth the sacrifice that it might take.  You are worth the hard work.  You are amazing and you have fabulous things to give to the world.  Thanks for reading.  :-)

What's Happenin'?

     I really cannot believe how much harder it is to blog three times a week instead of everyday.  When I was doing it everyday, I just knew I needed to make time to do it.  Now, I just think, "Oh, I will do it tomorrow."  So...sorry.  I need to figure out a better way, maybe everyday again.  I'll see.  How are your goals for the year or month going so far?  It is the first post of the month, so I want to check in.  Remember, now is a great time to start again or start something for the first time.  Or like me, try to figure out what works and what doesn't.
     I have been having an awesome time with my kiddos.  I have made sure that each week, for the past month, that we have a day at the house.  No running around.  It has been great for all of us.  Yesterday was a very exciting day at home.  We got a new washer and dryer!  They are AMAZING!  We rent, so I didn't pick them out, but they are sooooo much better than our old ones.  After they were installed, I started jumping up and down.  I realize that seems kinda crazy, but I really love them.  It made me wonder, when did I grow up?  At some point, I become the girl who is excited by a new washer and dryer.  I'm ok with that.  I like that I growing up.  It's weird, but I like it. 
     Another event that is strange is that my son is turning five on Sunday.  How can he be growing up too?  Where is the time going?  Next week, I am giving a talk about time budgeting.  All of these things happening are making me ask myself even more, "What am I doing with my time?  Am I making memories that I want to have?  What is important to me?"  I know I blogged about that last time, but it's so important.  As I prepare for the talk, I know that I will be thinking about it even more.  Go make some great memories.  Thanks for reading.  :-)
