Life List Updated!

I just finished washing dishes. It's 12:29 and lunches are packed, kitchen is clean(-ish) and here I sit. I sit here a lot, working mostly. I've overwhelmed myself with things to do. I get run down and frustrated at the situation, but overall I'm so much more free and happy.

No one really expects their life to fall apart. No one wants to climb impossible mountains or walk through thorny paths. I did. It was my goal to get through that as quickly as possible. It was my goal to lift myself and to make myself better for me and the boys. They deserve a happy mom and I deserve to be happy. So, I may not sleep much (sleep is for wussies anyway - that's what I tell myself so I don't mourn the person who used to sleep until noon or so...), but this is temporary. I'm building a life where I'm happy. I'm building a life I can love. I'm building a life where I can be loved.

So, speaking of goals. I revisited my life list and I find it incredible the number of things I at least started on my life list. I thought for sure I'd ignored my goals since I wrote it, working through emotional turmoil and figuring out living on my own. Nope. Turns out the things on my life list are truly the things in my heart.

One big goal of mine that I crossed off was #4: Publish a Photograph. I have the wonderful opportunity of working with the great minds behind Kaia Magazine. They used one of my photos for the cover and another inside. Plus, I there's an ad inside for my photography business! Check it out!

I have recently formed some pretty lofty goals. Reaching for the stars, literally. Keep watching for additions to the life list.
