Every journey begins with a single step...

I would like to open my blog with a little more about myself.  I am a wife of an amazingly supportive husband that has encouraged me to follow my dreams and with his continued support, that is exactly what I have done.  All my life I have been active.  I played a few sports through grade school, danced through high school and even had a studio of my own for awhile.  When my first beautiful daughter was born, I gave up my studio and life started leading me further away from my personal goals/dreams as I assumed the roll of "Mom".  Three years later, I was blessed with another spitfire, a tiny new baby girl to add to the mix.  My girls are my world!  And now, as they are approaching their teen years, I have realized that I can pursue my goals, and in doing so, demonstrate to them what it is to be a strong, independent and successful woman.  Of course, again, my husband comes to play a role in this because he facilitates open spaces of time for me to work on me.  Running the girls to swim and dance (yes, they are active, like their Momma) and doing his fair share of the daily chores helps keep things moving along and everyone getting in their fun!  With that said, my goal is to have synergy in my life.  A balanced life, so to speak.  

So let's talk about "synergy".  What does it look like to you?  What is your ideal synergy?  I believe synergy starts inside of you, inside yourself.  My favorite quote is "The only person you need to be better than, is the person you were yesterday".  In today's society, as women, we have a lot of pressure, or really, perceived pressure.  To fully accept ourselves, we need to let go of the outside world and focus on self.  Who are you?  Who do you want to be?  What are you doing to achieve that?

I am on this same journey.  It looks different to all of us, so let's start doing what we can, let go of what we can't control and commit to being in charge of US!
