It’s been a little quiet on the blogging front here. I’ve been dreaming a little lately… Wondering what I want to be “when I grow up”, and working at setting the goals I need for pursuing those dreams. I have 4 amazing children who’ve been my main priority for the last 14 years & as they get older and more independent I’m starting to think about what’s next for me personally. My oldest, B, is considering different career paths. I want him to dream big and find something that not only challenges him, but lights his fire and inspires him. And then I wonder, how can I show him that without doing it myself? Mamas, it doesn’t matter if we’re at home with babies and toddlers… They’re watching us to see how we deal with life in general, the daily mundane but also the dreams that seem radically impractical at times.
I’ve committed to pursue education for myself in the many vast, scary, and beautiful ways I can. I want to learn new skills just for the sake of learning even if I never use them again. I want my kids to see me shake with fear and yet bravely move ahead and do that hard thing I’ve been avoiding.
I will keep you all posted. And meanwhile, I’d love to hear about your wild and beautiful dreams…
I was just thinking about you! This is beautifully said. Praying for you today:).
