~A year of growth ( in the trenches) ~ Week 1 Post

I am so glad to be at this stage of my life after dealing with a year of what I call " the trenches." Have you had a rough period of your life that never seem to end? I feel like that was my life the whole past year.

 Now that I have had a month of relaxation and reflecting back, I am ready for my next adventure in life.

The things I am looking forward to include:
1) Establishing our own place again and getting new furniture and our belongings out of storage.
2) Preparing my daughter for her 1st day of Kindergarten.
3) Re-building my credit and savings including 401k.
4) Obtaining a job that fulfills my desires that embody education and future.
5) Fulfilling some adventures on my list of 40 things for my 40th year!
6) Enrolling my daughter in Dance and Swim Lessons.



I can honestly say with the love and support of many people in my life that I feel like I am continuing my journey of healing. Although this journey is hard, it is well worth the hard work to get there. Healing comes in many forms some that include tears and pain, some that include an "Aha Moment" and some that come naturally ( without your noticing) in the middle of change.

I have found that I am a person that loves people but lacked boundaries. I also have learned that I have every right to express my voice but have to learn how to do that assertively with compassion and love to make it effective.

Well those are my thoughts for this week. I am in Santa Barbara vacationing and enjoying all of my family units this summer. I have so many friends that I call family and I am blessed to have them all in my life!

Onto next weeks adventures!
