Thanks for joining me! I hope you get something out of reading my blog…or at least as much as I get out of writing it! For awhile now, I’ve felt like I’ve been drifting along without quite knowing what I want. Not that I’ve lost my compass at home, because I feel like things are solid at home with my husband and kids, but I feel more adrift in my work life. It’s funny, because before I had kids, I was driven to rise up the corporate ladder as quickly as possible and work, work, work. I really, honestly thought that being happy in life would be equal to being successful at work. Why? I’m really not sure now.
Of course I desire to lead a comfortable life, to go on vacations, drink good wine, etc., but I don’t think that’s more important than leading a good life day-in, day-out. Sometimes I don’t get home until late, I work weekends and I think about work at home instead of focusing on my family. Is that right? Is that how others feel? And if so, what are you doing to change that?
I’ve been listening to Cathy Heller of “Don’t Keep Your Day Job” and I’ve been inspired to seek out exactly what I am meant to do. I’m stumbling along trying to figure that out as I make more time for myself, my desires and what’s most important to me (hint – it’s not my job.) But stumbling is the best way to describe it because I can’t fathom where to begin, other than taking care of myself, exercising and creating more. Has anyone else felt this way? And if so, where are you starting?
