For us mothers, our life often comes second or even third to the lives of our children and husbands. It’s not uncommon to feel a nagging feeling that there is something else out there for you… because there is.

After discovering this for myself through life coaching, I decided to share this knowledge with as many fellow mothers as I could.

Do you need to wake up to your life? Do you remember who you are? Do you remember what you love to do?

Everyone’s life is meant to be an amazing journey. How amazing is up to you.

Deep in the throws of the holiday season, my husband Terry and  8 year old son Scout and I went shopping, ending our holiday spree with dinner at one of our favorite restaurants, Brio.  The atmosphere was loud and festive, everyone celebrating the season. But, at our table we were having a different conversation.

Scout settled in with his calamari appetizer and his crayons while Terry and I got into a discussion about money and whether we were going to make a concerted effort to put some aside to buy a new home in the coming year.  The discussion included budget cuts here and there and comments like”I need to know this is a goal we both have” and  ”Unless we make some cuts in monthly expenditures this isn’t going to happen” a few heated whispers, not nearly as light of a conversation as one would like to have on a holiday weekend night with your family but, you know, sometimes that happens.  While we talked about building a newer, bigger home our son was busy making a list of his own.

Our conversation concluded over salad stealthy put in front of us by our waiter.  I looked over at Scout who had not been coloring after all but, making a list, a list of life goals.

Life Goals

Help poor people

Stop Animal Testing

Help Endangered Animals

From the mouth of babes.  Humbled by our son, we told him how impressed we were with his goals and on his cue we launched into conversation more fitting of the season.  The truth is, while broad, his goals came from his heart, his soul, his very being.  We intend to help him work on his goals by offering him opportunities to impact all three.  For instance, for  Christmas, we donated money to the World Wild Life Fund in his name to save endangered tree frogs in South America.  It was the best gift of Christmas.

Those are the kinds of goals we all need to move ourselves forward, goals that resonate with our souls.  When we uncover those dreams, goals, desires we need to take care to break it down into mini goals, if we don’t,  it is human nature to get discouraged by the enormity of the goal and give up.   Not you, not this year.

In 2012 I wish for you the ability and where with all to make an impact on something dear to your heart.  I wish you  abundance and success in all of your endeavours. Happy Happy New Year.
