I have spent my entire adult life as a wife, mom and employee or business owner. Somewhere along the way I have forgotten how to care and nourish myself. I don't even know what I like to do anymore, with the exception of a few things. My world has been filled with doing for others, or doing what others like to do, to please them. This is not a complaint or a regret. My motto in life is, "It is what it is", and this runs true for what my life has held for me until now. My children are adults, I have done with my career what would be considered successful and my marriage is pretty solid. So this is about rediscovery and new direction for the next chapters of my life.

I read in a book once that you should set goals in 8 categories. I will summarize the concept, so as not to take any one's work. The goals are as follows, in no particular order: Spiritual, Physical, Material, Fun, Professional, Emotional, Financial amd Intellectual. Once you have created your list, you should surround yourself with people that have accomplished what your goal is, you should research, come up with a game plan, acknowledge and accept that there is a power greater than yourself that can help you accomplish your goals, and then execute plan. My version sounds a bit rigid, but that is it in a nutshell. My first goal...which would fall under "fun", is to blog about my experiences as I set my goals and obtain them. This method would not be for everyone, but it seems like a good place for me to start. It is my intention to have fun and laugh along the way as I learn just who resides in my body and soul. I wonder where I'll end up.
