Another week has passed in Southern California and I find myself with familiar feelings on a Friday. Perhaps my goals are lofty or hopes are high since facing death's door as a family. I would rather find something fulfilling in life than spend it in futility. Fun times are great, of course; but they are not enough. That is what I call living in “lack”…

It was a Sunday of VB as Logan and I made our way to Manhattan Beach for a CBVA tournament early this morning. Logan played with Sam Caldwell, a new potential partner. Again, they were the youngest, playing against seasoned players, going for an A rating. The day got better and better:)
Funny how his past has prepared him for his future and this level of competition, on the beach, where he never played back East. Challenges can serve to make one better, if used as steps to get to the next level. You can stay where you're at if you want to, or prefer not to be pushed. Choice is yours... always.
Some of us like a challenge, and for the most part, this lifestyle does not lend itself to such. I currently eat, sleep and breathe real estate, at Prudential CA, and as handling my properties back East. Fine tuning the game plan and a year in review is on my agenda by September 1.
I am very focused on this next chapter in my life and ways I can expand. I'm open to the possibilities.........while not losing myself again the process. Been there, done that. I know quite a bit more than I've ever been given credit for........ years of just doing the hard work will pay off......... soon.
I found out that Jordan bought a small wooden rocking chair on a garage sale this weekend, and Chynna and her roommate lugged home a Queen size mattress and boxspring left on the sidewalk for pickup. So, at least we're making progress in the area of household items:) Austin is still on the floor and continue to bike to and from work.
As a single mom, widow, and limited income, even choosing to buy a bed becomes a big deal. Anything really is ... .... I still feel the stress of making purchases and really ask myself what do we actually need or what can we get by with. There are choices to make on the path to a dream.........
I can feel helpless at times and allow myself to be dictated to by my situation. That's a bad place to be; ruins my perspective. I would rather take hold of the life we have yet to live and do the most with it possible....
Dreaming bigger than ever.
