Coming into the Sublime, one day at a time.

I've always had a desire to do something for the greater good of mankind, and am so fortunate to be able to do so now. It has definitely been a bumpy journey and I am not done yet! I've had a bit of a rough start in life as many of us have, I'll leave it at that for now. I'm a single mom going on 40 and am still trying to get my life figured out!! I'm still not quite there, but I feel I am getting closer. I'm pretty much a single SAHM, it has not been easy though! I've been investing quite a bit more time, money, resources, and effort then I ever did in the traditional work force and making quite a bit less. I love the ability and control to make my own schedule though. I love having more time with my children and in my home. Quality time with family and home is truly a priceless and very valuable thing. I also  love what I'm doing; connecting with and helping others.

At some point in my young 20's I quit reading books for pleasure, and started reading material aimed at learning for a purpose. I have been obsessed ever since in learning how to make life better for myself or those around me. I studied self help books, phyco semantics, astrology, feng shui, yoga, meditation, dreams, oils, stones, minerals.. You name it; if it was new age, about healing, or wellness it was something I wanted to learn more about! I still have a quite a long way to go from what I would consider the "ideal life". It's something I don't ever plan to stop seeking out though. 

These days I have taken to learning more about marketing, selling, and website building from home. It's a pretty vast, fast growing thing as many of you may well know! Oh my gosh, can we say "information overload?" I've also been been doing some EBay selling to help bring in a little extra income. Selling on EBay has also really helped us knock down on our clutter around the home. One mans trash is truly another's treasure. 

So at any rate, I'm learning to market and further grow some of my lifelong passions now! I will share more about my experience with this as I get it figured out and improve with practice. I'm actually doing this 1st blog post from my iPhone, we can do so much from our smart phones now! 

I've been blogging on social media for years.. We all do really. 😏 

For some reason I never wanted to be a "blogger" though. I've always felt like I don't want to monopolize a conversation maybe. Well it is what it is, & life is full of never ending changes. To change our life, sometimes we must change our mindset. I've come to a point of realizing that it doesn't need to be a one ended conversation. Making a post almost anywhere opens to commentary, and that's where the conversations stops being one sided. So please feel encouraged to comment and get a conversation going!! 

Moving on with the story, here I am going on 40 and having to start over again in life after my separation from almost a decade with a job in a large company. I may talk more about that whole ordeal a little further down the line. After that major life event though, I decided that I wanted more control in how I would provide for myself and my children. I thought "Oh my God, I can't go through this again in my 50's!" I was too comfortable in my traditional workforce job. I was not happy though, and I don't truly believe it's what was meant for me. Think of all those statistics about how many people work jobs they hate? They show up though every day and put in that time because it's convenient. I keep seeing different versions of the meme that says "If you don't build your own dreams, somebody else will hire you to build theirs." It's true that so many great businesses in this world all started out as a dream to somebody. So I decided it was time to pursue my dreams! I know that there will be some struggles along the way still, but I have faith that it all will be worth it. I'm building my own business, something I am in control of. Hopefully this will be something I can proudly pass on to my children someday! It all started out as my hobby on social media to motivate and inspire and transitioned into my online fitness and health coaching. I have been consistently working on myself to help set that example for others. Recently I have taken to instructing group fitness classes in the gym. That has been and continues to be, quite the experience as well! Learning new things, it's truly a never ending thing isn't it? My next goal is to get that personal trainers certification so that I can be more versatile & expand in my services. I'm also working on building and continuously improving on my website. The plan is to consolidate the social media madness, to showcase my services and products and to keep expanding on my offerings! If I can offer services, products, and some of my own personal experiences or insight; I think this will be a pretty well rounded plan!

When it comes down to it, we all have something to learn and something to teach.

Keep tuned to this blog to hear more about my journey, as well as some neat ideas I'm bound to share! 😉

I would also love to hear about your journey or similar experiences as well, if you would be willing to share! 

Well here goes nothing, I'm posting up my 1st blog post here now! I kinda look like a deer caught in the headlights don't I? Hopefully that look subsides with time and experience! Thanks for taking the time to stop by read some of my story!
