NO Limits?  Really?

There are only so many minutes in a day, and most of mine are spent with my son; this leaves little time for work!

I use to work all hours of the day, and night.  I use to believe that the more I worked the more I would accomplish, I use to think that the harder I worked the more money I would make!

Dreaming up a life can be a full-time job… as is Living My Dreams.

Oh and here is some other stuff to read…

Staying True and Focused

Recently I was introduced to someone fabulous, another delightful entrepreneur.  I love entrepreneurs, we are a special breed (but that’s for another post).  Anyway, I met this person and we hit it off immediately, I love that!  We talked shop, we exchanged ideas and then suddenly I found myself wrapped up with moving on from dream, and heading to somewhere far-far away, another project… my purpose, my dream project suddenly disappeared.  Watch

What kind of people are in your life?

Posted by adrian's mom in being a mom, Dream Project and tagged with , , , , , , , ,

I recently realized that I have some amazing people in my life, who make my life much more easier to handle, now.

Being a mom, and an entrepreneur demands constant attention to details, (now I’m not saying that this is the only job that demands critical attention… I’m just making a note) emails, line items, budgets, and I’m often dealing with a lot of personalities… and my son.  This can be tricky, daunting and completely exhausting.  Good news is that I have some amazing people in my life that tow the line for me when I’m in trouble, which is so nice!

About a two years ago, I had an awakening around relationships… and people.  They(people) are not always what I want them to be, and as a result of my convoluted yet, wishful thinking I am let down by people who I thought were one way, and actually in the end were not that way at ALL!  I want so badly for people to do good, be kind, and do the right thing, to be supportive, handle situations which can be tough or awkward… but what I have realized is that NOT everyone is on the same spiritual, business, friend, OR  life page as I am… and this is, and has to be OKAY.

What do I do, what did I do… I cleared the path for others, I said see ya later to the “no-shows” AND THEN LIFE FELT EASIER… Are you holding onto someone?  Let go!  I tell you it will feel amazing.

Keep dreaming.

The last fifteen minutes

Posted by adrian's mom in being a mom and tagged with , ,

 

I think Adrian has about 15 minutes left in today’s nap… so I have to make this a quick entry.

The last couple of weeks have been a challenge, difficult, hard, or bluntly said, shitty.  I have been wandering through the waters of health issues, and when this comes up I automatically go to the place of, all of this is FINE!  I am FINE, everything is GREAT.  It’s almost like I ignore it.  Now, health issues are no new experience for me, I have reoccurring, hormonal abnormalities which make me crazy.  I have been on treatment for years, almost like the gluten-free diet… (another experience) Anyway, here I am twenty-seven months post baby trying to begin my life again, as a business woman and I’m crumbling.   Yesterday I went to my doctor to review my most recent round on blood work, to find her eyes just as baffled as mine…NOT GOOD.  Now, I’m not saying that I’m dying, I’m only saying that it’s not better.   I leave the office with little hope– and remember I am a HOPE junkie!  I cried on my way home.  I think I forgot what it was like to cry, I was surprised by my tears.  I got home to my son, sleeping and realized that all is good… and then today happened.

I woke up depressed, again.

In the midst of this I am still trying to launch a business, create technology for others… while my development team seems to be slowing down… and I’m beginning to feel stuck.  I don’t like feeling stuck.  Do you?

I hear him wrestling around, oh no.  Do I have to end this now?

I guess today, I have to take it slowly, and really remember to ask for what I need, listen to those around me, share with those who ask… and lastly give myself a break.  There is a bigger plan, and I have to remember that being a “mompreneur” is really secondary to my life as a MOM!

He’s awake, gotta run.

 

 

Fridays come and go

Another friday, already.

I have been swamped with my pivitol tracker messages… so much work and so little time.  But this is great news, which means I am closer to launching, the soft launch.  Lets be honest, the test launch.

On another note, I have noticed that my son, has suddenly stepped into being TWO.  Now I have begun to understand why they shake their heads and say something like, “Oh yeah, the terrible twos”  Last night after I had just finished cutting all the broccoli and chard for my son we went BOOM.  He ran up behind me and bites my, bum… hand on pot stirring veggies, food went flying, we fell to the floor and suddenly I couldn’t figure out how we got there.   Scared that something had burned him, and shocked that I didn’t start screaming from the bite… we sat with pieces of broccoli and swiss chard scattered on our kitchen floor, gas flame still dancing. This became our first official TIME OUT, I sat him down quietly and said now you don’t bit mommy, you need to sit and be quiet by yourself!  Low and behold… he sat.  I think it helped that I had the music on, as he started to snap his fingers and pretend to play the drums, I reminded him to be quiet and still and he did…
WOW.

I guess there are first for everything.  We are at 2, what am I to do?  Teach, love and remember that he is only two, yes only 2…
Until next time.
