A Year of Firsts

Welcome back!

This year I have been led to focus on wisdom and to follow after GOD to become a wiser wife, mom, and woman. I have seen already that this will me new things for me. I have noticed too that this year will be more focused inward and on my family than on my business and ministry which I have spent the bulk of my focus on for the past 3 years. The Lord is showing me that the time I spent on my business and ministry has been well spent and it has brought me to the point where I am today. That point is being able to delegate more and be more “hands off” with my business especially. This is what has resulted as a result of my hard work for the past 3 years.

As a result, I’ll be spending more time on personal and family things this year. One of those things on a personal level is “exercise”. I have not exercised consistently since high school. I have found the 10 minute cardio workouts I have done for 3 days challenging, but I am not giving up!

Secondly, is healthy eating, I’ve never thought I needed to “diet” because I don’t struggle with weight issues (thank the Lord), but I do need to eat healthier and be more aware of what I am eating. My husband needs this as well, so we are on a mission to eat “healthier”.

These are the main things that are firsts for me this year. What about you, are you changing your lifestyle in any way. Tell me about it!

Just Say No to Insanity

I had every intention of blogging here more I didn’t promise it because I knew my life was crazy, but in my head it was something I wanted.  Then, I got this crazy idea to just start over. Start a new blog, create a whole other site and leave this one behind, but then I remembered I’d tried that before and it didn’t work.

And since the definition of insanity is “doing the same thing and expecting different results”. I thought I’d better stay sane.  Plus, really honestly, I didn’t need another thing on my plate.

I have BIG goals for 2010. I have a thriving writing business and a ministry.  3 years ago I would have told you today would have been impossible for me to achieve, especially since I have three children, all under the age of six.  But it is real and though my businesses aren’t at the capacity I wish they would be I am making progress.

I have learned vast amounts of things this year.  One thing I know for sure is that in order to grow you have to take risks, you have to take action and you have to work hard.  I’m willing to do those things in 2010 because I have seen in 2009 that they are worth it.

I’m ready for the ride that 2010 is offering.  It is going to be a great adventure.  Check back for my 2010 goals.  I hope you’ll share yours with me too.
