LIVING UP TO MY POTENTIAL -- 2014


If you're a new reader to this here space on the world wide web, then read this to understand the whole idea behind my yearly declaration.

2013 Intention proved to be a success:
We lived it up for sure!
Camping trips
Running to swim lessons with the triple jogger
St George Vay-cay's
Bike Races
1/2 Marathons of misery :)
Nakey babies playing in the backyard sprinklers
Staycations and more... It was a fantastic year.


This years intention is about LIVING UP TO MY POTENTIAL
I told Kday that's it's like the switch has been flipped and the lights are back on!
2011 was about taking the crazy wild ride on the journey to surprises.
2012 was about surviving
And 2013 was about having fun and thriving instead of just surviving.

This year is about my potential to laugh more, my potential as a friend, the potential in being a fun wife and mom, my body's potential to feel good enough to play with my kids or race again.
I have so much potential that I'm not living up to - for various reasons we all shy away from things that could make life better! 
Sometimes fear gets in the way or lack of belief in oneself. Emotional baggage can weigh us down or just plain contentment with the day to day grind. 
But I want more! I have a great life, a beautiful busy family, and so many opportunities and I want to be the best ME in that picture. 

I'm not talking about the "super-mom" craze that's all the rage. 
It's not about fulfilling every moment of life to the upmost perfection and running myself ragged...

I AM intending to push myself and really bask in the delightfulness of this stage of life and live it to the fullest. I have 8 solid months before potty training and kindergarten begin and that presents me with a lot of time to relish in the freedom of a 4 year old and two 2 year olds! 

This promises to be a year of accomplishing big things and living the dream!

CHEERS TO THE NEW YEAR!!!!
2014

I agree with Becky. You really are amazing at being able to stand back and review your life and your experiences.
