Hello again!  I am excited to share that I am making progress on my strategic plan for my new venture.  I am not quite ready to share, but I am enjoying the fact that I am slowly making progress outside my head as well as inside. :D  I seem to have a slight A.D.D. issue.  I am blessed with unlimited ideas and a lot of passion for whatever it is I embark on.  I guess getting all ideas, thoughts and plans organized is key to success.  For now, this is what my plan looks like.....








I guess I'm at that point in life after my kids are grown up that I am now responsible for me, myself and I. It's not a bad thing, but for some of us moms who have identified with themselves as the nurturing, supportive, mentoring Super Mom mentality, it's easy to find yourself at a fork in the road..... 






I find myself questioning who I am a lot lately.  As I have said, my favorite job and responsibility in the world has been "Mommy"....I think it always will be.  In my life, I have been the Monogram lady, the Network lady, the Foundation Lady, the Bridal Show lady....along with other titles, like wife, daughter, sister, friend, mentor and more.... Most women are nurturers at the core of who they are.  A lot of us forget to nurture and care for ourselves, so finding ourselves at over 50 and uncertain is more than common for many women and men alike.



I think the best thing I can do at this point is reach out to people I know who can relate and help each other through the tough times.  It is different for all of us.  I am truly blessed to have my husband by my side though all the uncertainty.  In my mind, we are separated and have been for at least 3 years now.  He is a good man, who most definitely signed up for the long haul.....something a lot of men don't.  It tears at me, all that I have put him though this past year.  He does not deserve it.  I have seen people leave for less.  I know many couples, after the kids leave, find they have little or nothing in common.  They stay together for the sake of the kids, but are unhappy.  I don't want to make any waves or create any hard feelings or uncertainty for my kids or my family...but sometimes, it helps to step away for a little while.  Sometimes allowing a change in family dynamics is necessary to make things better for all.  I'm still undecided on what to do, but I'm glad to know he stands by me, no matter what, even if just as my very best friend.  I do love, appreciate and respect him very much.  Let's see what life unfolds as I continue to learn more about myself.  For now, I will say, I'm very excited about my new venture.  Stay tuned.....  and as always....Make it a GREAT day, life, adventure....or whatever it is you are focused on for now.  HUGE HUGS
