Are you a dream or a doer?

Do you have a dream for your life? Goals, ambitions, things you want to achieve?

Me too!!!

Maybe you feel lost in yours as well. Maybe you know what you want to do and don’t know the steps to get you there.

Friend, you are not alone!!

I have been listening to Rachel Hollis’ Girl, Stop Apologizing! At first, I didn’t think it was for me. I don’t feel the need to apologize. I don’t feel the need to please everyone. But, I kept listening because I love the way she speaks. Pure unapologetic honesty!

I was cleaning my house this past weekend...rubber gloves, headphones, and bleach...knee deep in my youngest daughters nasty bathtub mess that she washes her body in! (Insert throw up emoji) She and my oldest daughter share a bathroom, however my oldest still showers in our bathroom...anyway, besides the point.

Back to my epiphany! So, as I am cleaning the bathroom, THE chapter I needed to hear came on! It is a whole section on behaviors and this one was for me! It was like God tapped me on the shoulder and said...Girl, listen up!!!

You see, I have felt lost for a while in my dreams, my wishes and wants for ME. What do I want to do. What do I want to be, and what do I want to show my kids that I am capable of?

I will get more into that in another post, however for now...The Behavior #2 was for me...Choose ONE dream and go all in!!!

YES! I get it! I know that was for me. I know it was meant for me to hear this today, right now, and in this season of my life. I thought as she asked...What is your dream? Where do you see yourself in 10 years. I’ll be honest, it took me a second. I had to really think...what makes me happy? What am I so incredibly passionate about that it is a dream of mine?

Then it hit me...it has been there all along. It is what I love the most, crave the most and something I feel the most passionate about. I have been teaching it in a roundabout way for years, and just kinda let it go. I think the pull has always been there, but just didn’t pursue it enough to really get it off the ground.

I was impatient. I was not focusing on that ONE goal. I let other things cloud my judgement, and my mission. I allowed other opportunities to get in my way of what I really love...NOT ANYMORE!!!!

The one thing I have loved as I have gotten older is Nutrition. I was sick for so long, (saving that for another post as well) and I am 100% certain that my nutrition and diligence was the one thing that has kept me somewhat healthy and give me the ability to heal so well. I stand by the fact that it has helped my children with their focus in school, their behavior and mood swings, and simply given them confidence to make better food choices when given the opportunity.

My dream is to be a nutrition consultant and not only create healthy meal plans for women, but for their children as well. As a Mom of teenagers, it has become very apparent to me that children these days rely on fast food, quick fixes and sugar. I want to be able to help not only Moms, or Dads who handle the meals in a home, but to be able to instill confidence in children and young adults on how to fuel their bodies for sports, demanding school schedules, and feeling good on the inside. Confidence in any situation is so important to how we care for ourselves, and how we show up for others.

Teaching others about nutrition and how simple changes make a huge difference, is helping them control a situation that can sometimes feel out of control. **Side note** I was a heavier teen and didn't know how to control it. It wasn't that I just loved food that much, it was more of a boredom thing. I didn't do sports in High school, therefore I came home each day after school and just hung out. Once I got into High school I discovered weight training and was immediately in love with the process, however I still didn't know how to fuel my body well. Once I became a Mom, I realized it was so much more than physically moving your body, it was more of what you put into your body. So, here we are today...feeding my family and myself for optimal performance in life.

I want to pass that knowledge and power of control onto others. So, now you know my dream...now I'm gonna get after it!!!! :)
