Purpose
– schmurpose! LOL 20 days down and I've spent most of it rather
down … but not quite out... due to some of life's unexpected
troubles. :( But, as usual, it's not going to stop me from moving
toward my goals! The damages are reversing, healing, returning to normal, slowly.
And
I am still moving ahead WITH PURPOSE! I am determined that even
starting my business month 33% behind (so to speak) will not keep me
from building my business!
On the green front... we are doing LOTS BETTER at eating REAL FOODS! I found a few new blogs to follow in this effort of avoiding processed foods more:
If you have any interest at all in eating less processed foods, more organic foods, or more local foods you may find one or all of these very helpful! :)
Same
for SPARKnEarthlyBest – no progress to report, but no backsliding
either!
And
with ANDEE365 – Wow! Have we been 'thru the ringer' and then some!
It wasn't fun. It wasn't pretty. It wasn't supposed to happen this
way. :( However, we have had some extensive family discussions
about the things that have happened and the things that could yet
happen. These have resulted in a number of things improving around
here. But there are still some “issues” to resolve ~ aren't there
always such things in large families? LOL So, we move ahead! We go
forward WITH PURPOSE! We take stock of where we are at; where we
want to go; and which path(s) we want to take to get there.
I
do have to say this: In the last 20 days I've talked to a number of
locals and met some really nice people! This makes me look forward
even more to what's ahead as I seek out more and more of the people
of my little town and help them understand what a wonderful thing I
have for them with my company! :) There are lots of hard-working
folks around here who are barely getting by and really struggling to
find that “something” that will help them get to the next check,
help them get to feeling better so they can do more to meet their
families' needs, and give them hope for a brighter future. Before
long they will all know! I can't wait to share what I have with all
of them!!!
I
close with this:
"Your
time is limited so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't
be trapped by dogma, which is living with the results of other
people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out
your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow
your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly
want to become. Everything else is secondary."
