Yoga that Heals community,
It really feels so good to write about me and where I am in my journey…as a grown woman who is changing roles in life, yet again.
I am a mother in transition and am ready to embrace all that 2012 has to offer. I am so excited to participate in the “Cup of Sweetness” women circle this year. I look forward to connecting and growing with this dynamic group of women. Let’s share all that we are, wish to be and will become in 2012!
I have been home holding down “the fort” for my family for the past 8 years and plan to continue…. But, my role is changing on a daily basis. Kids are more independent, family time is interrupted, time with friends valuable, house chores less important. As I watch my kids grow and navigate through the ups and downs of growing up, I think of my journey. One of the sacrifices of motherhood that I could never have imagined has been losing myself. I no longer know what’s important FOR ME as a person; I am conditioned to think of everyone else and their happiness. Who I was, and who I am today are very different; and I am ready to explore the new me.
In my college days, I was a dual-major at the University of Northern Arizona (Music & Business). The competition was so fierce in the opera department that I completed my junior recital and got a minor in music. I knew I would never be a music teacher and so I studied how to manage a theater, and received a degree in Arts Management. My performance and theater days’ seem very far way, however the artistic and creative side of me is aching for an outlet. Working in the arts industry does not coincide with raising a family (different hours), but hopefully a “Cup of Sweetness” will fill my cup full of ideas and desires. I can’t wait to explore what lies ahead and embrace this next stage in my life and whom I am becoming.
One sister to another, Carol
