From June 19 to July 3, 2002, Steve Fossett single-handedly circled the globe in a hot air balloon. Fossett was 58 at the time. WOW. I know the scenery was beautiful, but I couldn't do it.

This prayer resonated with me I had to "Canva-nize" it and share.

Do you have pets? If so, what kind? 🐕🐈🐎

Since the beginning of the year I have been thinking 🤔 about my life and the stage of life I'm in. I don't have the energy 🪫 I once had to "do all the things." My body is just not cooperating. 🤣 I've learned to become the jack of all trades out of being suddenly single, necessity, survival, and out of being a mama bear 🐻. However, that life is just not sustainable anymore. As Andy Griffith once said "I'm just beat down to my socks," so I've come up with this concept of a FOCUSED life and now I'm on the path to organizing my life in such a way that I can be more of a human "being" and enjoying 🎉 the rest of my life 🌴instead of a human "doing" and feeling burned out and exhausted all the time. I've been chasing this proverbial "taking the entrepreneurial leap" full throttle. But do you want to know the sad part, I didn't know what success would look like. I didn't know when the leap would be DONE. ✅ I've blinded myself to think I'm not there yet, but if I step back and look at the whole picture, I am an entrepreneur already! I've managed to have a military career, work a full time job, get degrees, raise children, and buy and manage rental properties. It's a miracle that I haven't been committed… I should be ashamed of myself for not noticing this sooner. I should've celebrated all the work that I have put in along the way, but I just didn't know how. I should've celebrated all the blessings that God has given me and not look at where I think I should be. I'm turning over a new leaf. 🍂 I'm closing my eyes and putting my hands over my heart, taking a deep breath and quietly whispering to myself -- "I'm choosing to acknowledge where I am is exactly where I am supposed to be, and IT IS GOOD!" That statement is so freeing. 🕊️🕊️
So what would a focused life look like for you? Do you need to turn over a new leaf?
