Energy!!!

Energy such an interesting word. Why did I pick this word. I was feeling deflated. I was feeling not there. Things weren't going the way I wanted them to go and I didn't know what I wanted to do... So Energy seemed to feel right. Now I have started a small business and I need to have lots of energy to keep up with my "mom" life, cooking cleaning and driving. Now I also had to add the job of looking for new customers and recruiting!! What ever was I thinking...

I know what I was thinking. I wanted more in life. I wanted to have a life for me. Something outside of being a mom, wife and household organizer. I really love what I do, I love the office job, I love the talking to people. and Yes I have energy for it all. I have no idea where this energy comes from it just comes. I love to do it all and I will  keep on going. If something is missed or late, it's ok There is always another day to get it done! Energy is such a funny word. Sometimes it takes energy to  make energy! Like when you exercise you feel so much more powerful afterwards and you keep going back to get that feeling. That is energy!  The fire that burns and burns, that is energy! The sun glowing that is energy! a body in motion wants to stay in motion! So true and what does it take? Energy!!

Keep your word, reflect on it. Think about it. Don't let it take you over, you make it into what you want. I make mine ENERGY!!!

Living with intention

I have heard/read that if you start your day with an intention things will go smoothly. Well I tried it. for a few days and it went surprisingly well!! I had a day of getting Avon catalogue handed out and that worked. I went beyond my intention. Getting things done, that was a tough one but I got things done.
I find I am one of those people who need eneery to get things done. And most of the time lately I don't have that. That is why Energy is my word for this year. I need to think of not the lack of it but what I do have. And how having energy makes more energy! What I want from my word this year is to be an positive energetic person. It's so much not just a word as it is a way of living!

Energy doesn't always mean dancing when your down, jumping when your tired. It's about living life to the fullest and getting things done! There are days I just want to lay down and sleep the day away! Lately a lot I don't know why but this month has been a sleepy one for me. I am trying to get yoga into my life again and walking so well!  Walking is going well, yoga is about once a week. I also want to stretch my Avon business and I have a few ideas to try. I need to have the energy to be there for my kids.  That is my priority!!

Right now to right this was even a struggle. What do I write? What do I what to protray? I have no idea. I am sitting here typing while I watch my daughter paint a painting on canvas. But at least we are together!!
