Benjamin is 10.5 months old and my dreams are clearer now than they have ever been. I guess my moment of clarity came when I was driving home from CT yesterday and wondered what my legacy was going to be...
I am so proud of my Mother for Artsplace (in Cheshire, CT) and Artsday. I was at the very first Artsday 25 years ago and here I was attending the 25th annual with my own family...my sons first Artsday! Wow, Mom...all that hard work and so many happy kids and families. Amazing!
It's time to dream bigger and better than ever before. And I don't care how corny that sounds...that's part of who I am. As well as who I am going to be. So here it is world (or Mom, whoever is reading this...haha)...my dreams in black and white to keep me honest:
Qualities important to me :
love * compassion * honesty
My words to live by :
create * travel * love
Need to work on :
being a better listener * strong work ethic based on clear goals
First Steps :
make a morning book
(scrap / photo book with favorite photos and inspirational quotes to read every time I hesitate)
And most importantly...
DREAMS + GOALS :
design fashion + accessories for globetrotters + mama's
be a *wonderful* stay-at-home-mom (wherever in the world we are)
slow food + happy cats
travel the globe
laugh and love as much as possible
be true to myself
keeping dreaming up bigger dreams . . .
What that means now is :
create 1 item / week for Etsy during nap + sleep times
sketch daily
keep up with the meet-up groups I am involved in for Benj
follow "Science of Skinny" (link below)
groom cats daily
put all profits towards trips
meals together at the table (as usual)
tickle as much as possible + read every book we can
I'm a lucky, lucky woman. Here's to life, laughter, love, and the pursuit of happiness.
