October is usually a busy month in our household.  School is in full swing.  Our son’s birthday is in mid-October and there are tons of events.  So when I get thoughtful about what we were doing a year ago, and for many years, I realize it has always been busy. 

When I thought about myself, I remembered that I became a certified coach one year ago.  It was a whirlwind of learning the how to’s of coaching, entrepreneurship, and so many business requirements.  I’m so glad I am where I am now.  

Our son was adopted here in the United States 16 years ago and we became a family when he was 2 days old.  His arrival and his birth mother’s decision to choose us to be his parents, were the culmination of a lifelong dream.  I had always wanted to be a mother.  It wasn’t easy but it was totally worth it.  We are now the parents of a 16 year old and he is doing well.

As I reminisce about “the good old days,” I kind of wish I was younger, but for the most part I am glad that I know who I am and what I want out of life.  And then I start to think about where the next year will take me.  I am not in any rush, but you need to think about your plans and how they fit with the big picture. I am excited about my future!

I invite you to think about how you want to finish this year and start the next - whether it’s the same, improving on what is, or taking a completely different direction.  This could be an exciting time for you, too.  Will you finally become who you were meant to be?  If you want any support or guidance, let me know.  I would be thrilled to join you on your adventure.
