Even though it seems most everything I do has been for and about my kids in one way or another, I am realizing more and more that I need to make myself a priority. I will no longer worry or feel guilty about it; I'm getting a revelation.

Perhaps it's because I am now a single woman or finding my feminine side again, but I get that I should give to myself first. Because I am giving by nature, I'm not worried about getting out of balance. For me, putting myself first at this point in my life, will only enhance what I give to others......

Last June while visiting Hermosa Beach we somehow failed to put quarters in the street meter, even though we all acknowledged it was there. It was unexplainable and left me with a fine of almost $50 to pay. I remember choosing to look at it as an "investment" in my future.

Less than a year later, I am managing the Prudential CA office in HB:) I'm enjoying the light duties and low stress because it's what I need in my life right now; it is the right season and time. Any further career advancements can come a little later. I hope to finally breathe a bit......

Tonight my baby boy is at a Sadie Hawkins Dance at Mira Costa High School in Manhattan Beach. Oh, The Places He Will Go...... as one of my favorite Dr. Seuss books says:) As I dropped him off at his friend's house, the moment was very surreal. He is making his way.

My daughter is spending the weekend in Vegas, her first time, and doing what she loves most..... playing volleyball:) She was very excited to have the opportunity. She continues to look for a part time job that will fit her career ideas, as she's completing her final marketing class for graduation in May. Hoping she finds something soon......

I registered Logan for his first beach tournament with the CBVA which I liken to the grass tournaments every weekend in the East. He's looking to get rated and go from there. More details to come. Austin's going to have the Toyota this weekend:)

Handling health insurance changes now that we've been approved by another company here. I guess handling transactions and transitions will be something I can add to the "skills" portion of my resume', lol. You'll always underestimate your abilities until you test yourself and find out what your capabilities actually are.

There is hell to pay in that process but the results can be rewarding. Experience is what I'm basing my "economy" on..........
