FREEDOM FRIDAY: Do I Have To Go Back To Work????

Today is the last Friday of my summer. I will return to my classroom on Monday and begin preparing for the new school year. This has been my routine for the past five years. The only thing different is I will begin this school year knowing that by the end of the year, I will have accomplished several small goals that will lead me to my ultimate goal of being a Certified Professional Life Coach. I have already started manifesting positive things and attracting positive people in my life. I can only imagine what else God has in store for me as I create my own lane in the Universe.
The past two weeks have been a blessing to me, as well as confirmation that I am on the right track with my vision. I have transformed myself into a sponge, soaking in any information that I can along the way. I have become transparent, so that others may shine their light on me and through me. I am Getting Optimistic About Life and MODELING how to do it for others.

I. Am. A. G.O.A.L. Model...And my runway is bigger than the Universe!!

FREEDOM FRIDAY: Why I Refuse To Buy Another Pull-Up!

I decided to do something a little different on Fridays. Instead of focusing on motivating, empowering, etc., I'm going to give you all an even closer look at my journey by blogging about things in my personal life that effect me from day to day. I know that I have followers from all walks of life, and sometimes we just need somebody to understand what we go through. So, Freedom Fridays will be dedicated to giving my followers a glance into my world as Wife, Mom, Teacher, Sister, Aunt, Friend, and G.O.A.L. Model! Enjoy!

I absolutely REFUSE to buy another Pull-Up! While on my journey to GREATNESS, I have to stop every 20-30 minutes to make sure that my 2 year old son goes to the potty. (Yes, G.O.A.L. Models have to potty train the kids also)! He actually does really well when I allow him to run around without any underwear on and he does well WITH underwear on. However, when I put a Pull-Up on him, he still pees in it as if he has on a pamper. Go Figure... He doesn't even attempt to pull the Pull-Up up or down. It's still just a "pee and poop" holder to him. And now that I think about this potty training gig, I never purchased Pull-Ups for either of my daughters when they were being potty trained. So obviously, consistency, patience, and a good ol' pair of underpants works just fine and costs less too!

In essence, as I continue on my journey to GREATNESS, there was actually one thing that I realized about potty training that will definitely help me along the way.

G.O.A.L. Model Tip:

Don't be afraid to revisit and revise your goals! Even though we won't be participating in the Pull-Ups Club anymore, the ultimate goal is for him to be potty trained and there is definitely more than one way to accomplish this goal!

WANTED: ACCOUNTABILITY PARTNER

When I sit back and think of words that describe who I am, I always come up with the same set of words. Motivation. Inspiration. Encourager. My natural talents include motivating, inspiring, encouraging, as well as giving advice and my personal opinion based on my life experiences. More recently, I realized that I needed to add life coaching to my list of natural talents because according to several different definitions of what a life coach is, I definitely fall into that category as well.

Now that I have a basic understanding of who I am and what I love to naturally do, my goal or vision is to create my own lane in this Universe doing exactly what God has given me the talent to do. The next step in this process will be for me to set goals for myself and actually start writing out the details for how my vision will become a reality.

This step is a challenge for me because I have an extremely difficult time focusing on one thing. I start with an idea, I get excited about it, and nothing happens. I get unmotivated. I become uninspired. I lose all self-encouragement. I push the idea to the back of my mind and go back to my comfortable little space of reality. But when I get texts, phone calls, emails from friends and family needing that extra push, I'm there full speed ahead. I do an excellent job at getting people to keep it moving. I just need someone to return the favor every now and then...

So I am seriously looking for an accountability partner. I need someone to motivate me. I need someone to inspire me. I need some one to keep me encouraged. I need those text messages, emails, and occasional phone calls to ask where I am in my journey. I can handle reality. I don't need sugar-coated words of wisdom. I need somebody who will be dedicated to holding me accountable for making my vision a reality.

Is it you???
