As the United States is about to welcome a new president to the White House, I am inspired to move forward with some new things that I want in my life. To stop letting the fear of disappointing others stop me from doing what I feel is right for me and my family. In two days, Obama will ask each American to take responsibility for the lives that we all live and stop making excuses when things go wrong that we cause. I am asking myself what do I need to do to move my life forward and stop living in the past. To improve my life in ways that I may not have imagined before. So today is my first post in my journey. My first goal … a new home (not a “new” home, but a “new” home for us) … one with a little more room and a backyard for my growing puppy dog. This will be be a fast goal to achieve, but it is one that will be fun to accomplish (because I am not going to let it stress me out). Check back for more updates. Post comments with your ideas about changing your life or examples of what you have accomplished.
