I can't believe it.... November already

Is it just me or did this year just fly right by? Time is such a delicate thing. We are all here on limited time, and in that time we have so many wishes and dreams to accomplish. What are your dreams? What are your wishes? Outside of what has to be done... What is it that makes your heart happy? Make time for these things! It's so important. This is our fuel. Don't ever feel bad for needing to fuel your soul! If you're anything like me, being a people pleaser and giving fuel to my soul don't come hand in hand, and maybe it shouldn't. We need to put ourselves first, than others. Helping others fuels my heart but there has to be limitations so you or I don't get burnt out.
When we get burnt out we start acting out of character and this is when mistakes can be made, and we all know mistakes have consequences. I can think of times I've been overly stressed, and then I over compensate and do something irresponsible, to make up for the deficit I'm feeling. I hope this blog can motivate you to look within and take an inventory of what makes you drive, and do just that!
We each have a beautiful fire within us, don't let any force in that tries to extinguish your fire. Search for those that support or ignite that!

Juggling on a balance beam

My life often feels like a 3 ring circus, and since I'm going to be accountable, I will own the reality that I create this circus.To top it off I'm so hard on myself and the expectations I have of what I can get done I take my circus and get on that balance beam. Trying to make it all happen. The craft mom, gourmet chef, health freak, active humanitarian, church going, top employee, sister, friend, daughter, I can't even breathe because the list goes on and on. That sounds crazy doesn't it. I mean think about it, back in the 50's when women stayed home with the kids and had dinner made by the time their husband came home, they didn't run a taxi service they ran nightly to and from sports, the pressure from a long day at work, responsibility for the checks and balances. It is easy to look on social media and feel down about everything you're not doing, because you are watching glorified specialties in your face. I have come to realize everyone has issues, and struggles, and we are all going to put our best foot forward and only our best foot to others. So today I breathe, knowing I'm doing the best I can, and I'm doing a pretty good job, and I bet you too are. We need to live in the reality that we are doing the best we can, considering each of our circumstances. Thanks for reading.
