Law of Attraction

I watched the Oprah show the other day, and learned about the "Law of Attraction". It inspired me to start on a journey. I hadn't realized how out of touch I was with "me". I have been so caught up in taking care of my family, that I have somehow lost sight of who I am & what I want. Later that night, I had a heart to heart with my husband, and that reaffirmed my thoughts. He hit it right on the head, when he told me that I changed the day I was fired from my job in Clay Center over two years ago. That was a blow that was crushing to me. Out went my confidence in my job skills, and slowly I gave up on myself and I didn't even realize it until a few days ago. I have finally realized it, and am working hard to get it all back. I am working at becoming reaquainted with who I am, what I want, and am starting to set goals and achieve them. I am ready to start looking at different job options that will fulfill my career goals, as well as my life goals. It is really hard to achieve and improve, if you can't even tell somebody what you want for a gift. lately, I saw that as being content, but it is just the opposite. I was so focused on everybody else, that I didn't realize that the reason I couldn't name things I want was that I was so out of touch with who I am. It is hard, but I can and will get perspective & get back to embracing who I am, and relearning all about me!

I'm convinced we all do that at some point in our lives. I know my own personal one came after Stacy died, and just when I was getting my equilibrium back, the freaking hurricane came along and put me in a tailspin again. Our lives love to throw curveballs at us, and sometimes they're very sneaky curveballs.

I'm still picking up the pieces of my self from Katrina, so I have some understanding of whatyou are thinking and feeling. If you want to talk, please email or call.

*hugs you* Congratulations on your new journey!
