Family. It's about time.
Porn kills love.
quality or quantity
minimalist
see the world
no pain no gain
If your dreams don't scare you, they're not big enough.
never let the odds keep you from doing what you know in your heart you were meant to do.
Idle hands are the devil's workshop. (idle minds too)
Family first
Its doing all you thought you could and then a little bit more.
See the good in others. See the potential.
I am in the process of figuring out what my goals are. I am in a class to learn to set and achieve goals. My challenge has been doubting my direction. I doubt my ability to make a choice, choose a direction, set a goal. Milt wanted me to help him with a fight against pornography. Its important but it is not my main focus. I just keep coming back to building home and family. I so want to figure out how to create traditions that bring the family together. I want to have power to love freely and confidently, forgive quickly, nurture always. I want to be a healer of relationships. I want to be a creature of order. I want to be an amazing teacher, great story teller, motivator, mentor.
Once I get all that figured out and mastered I want to get good at gardening, planning delicious meals, controlling my eating, exercising more, increasing energy in all its different forms. I want to understand health, fitness, politics, education, decorating, sewing, creating, and chore motivation. There is so much I want to be for my family. There is so much I want them to become. It can be exciting. It can be just plain scary. It is a huge goal that I am living every day. I don't have a lot of other ambitions. I want to be a happy, healthy wife and mother. I want to be an example of lifetime learning and improving. I want to inspire greatness in them I want them to be willing to do the hard things, pay the price to develop talents, gain knowledge and skills.
It could be so overwhelming. It could shut me down and has at times but I am on a journey of discovery. I am learning that I am ENOUGH just the way I am. I am capable and powerful. I am actually smart. I am learning that though I am enough I can still ask for help. In fact, being enough gives me the courage to ask for more. I need gifts to achieve my goals. I am asking my Father for the gifts of love, order, and forgiveness. These three areas are my main focus. They are what I really want in my life. I can only seek these gifts and then recognize them as they come so that I can truly receive the gifts, develop the gifts, share the gifts.
This is where my greatest efforts belong. As I focus on family I believe that my ability to serve in my callings, be a neighbor and friend will be fruits of the tree I am nurturing. These are the people that mean the most to me.
