I was actually really nervous about this whole "blog" idea" and didn't know where to go with it. I had to ask several very close friends and pastors, "what should it be about"? The consensus was unanimous... all about me! I decided to redefine the term "non-traditional" to mean "living life to the fullest".
I think I'm just going through some kind of a mid-life stage in life that we all come to. It helps us to redefine what life is about, what we want it to be about and how can we make that happen. I've seen myself come out of some kind of shell that, through no work on my part, helped others redefine their own lives. I've been defined as crazy, an inspiration, a perfectionist, a motivator, a fun-loving kind of woman that doesn't let anything get her down.
I just want anyone to know that we truly are only given one life on this planet and it's nothing compared to the eternity that we get to live. When that is realized, it's only then that you begin living, NOW.
Many of my new ideas of loving life come from being a cancer-surviving, single mom that has lost almost a total of 200lbs., setting a goal and becoming a triathlete, I adopted a son with special-needs, I volunteer at my church several hours a week, and now a full-time student at BSU. (Go Broncos)
I want to redefine the idea or definition of non-tradition. What does that mean? Is it that I just didn't graduate from high school, because it seems to me that it only happened yesterday. Is it that I shouldn't have children at home that are in preschool, well I do and love every minute with them. Does it mean that "at my age" I shouldn't be jumping out of airplanes, well I am and it's fantastic?
I have dreams and can't even imagine anything that would hold me back. I want anyone and everyone who reads this blog to be inspired to "Imagine" and "Dream" of anything and everything... why not? It's only your desire that holds you back! Remember, if you think you can or think you can't... either way, you're right!
