I am finally sitting down to write this week’s post. Not having it completed has messed dearly with my ‘Type A’ tendencies. When I committed to writing a weekly post, I was all in. Still am.
Yet, life keeps getting in my way.
Over the weekend I began a Mindfulness Certification Training. The first two days consisted of 14 hours of instruction, demonstrations and exercises. I then will be taking class twice a week in the evenings and will end with another full weekend.
The good news is, I absolutely love it. That bad news is, I now understand why wives, mothers and women in general sometimes push their goals farther and farther off into the distance.
I am learning there is never the ‘right’ time, there is only now.
It’s okay to feel bad about not getting everything done in the way you want. It’s not okay to pretend those feelings don’t exist.
I am choosing to make peace with wishing I could do it all and make it look easy. Sometimes pursuing our dreams is inconvenient, but if you are pursuing the dream that is truly authentic to you, the joy it brings will carry you through. And, you can still be a worry-wart, Type A Mama while doing so.
Dreams don’t judge.
Dreams are just happy you showed up (finally!).
Shortcomings, messy house and all.
